The self-regulated learning literature must distinguish true self-regulation (i.e., inhibition, adaption) from internalized, habitual enactment. We don't want students self-regulating every moment during learning! This is a helpful discussion of habits re: SRL. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Students frequently rely on ineffective learning strategies instead of those that promote long-term retention. This is not simply a matter of lacking metacognitive knowledge. Research on…

Agreed. I've been reading more and more about layperson pushback against "AI." I suspect a reckoning is coming, and when it does, we want people to be clear about what they are condemning, lest lots of useful advances (e.g., ML use in the sciences) get thrown out with the bathwater.
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪
