New book chapter by many at LST-WPI !!

22 July #las23ed Session 8: 'Isolating the impact of gamification: Application of fully latent principle stratification analysis to estimate the effects of gamification for persistent learners,' by Kirk Vanacore, Adam Sales, Allison Liu, and e.ottmar (@LSTWPI Social Science & Policy Studies @ WPI).

A HUGE congratulations to my LST-WPI undergrad student Cindy Trac for winning the 2023 WPI Crimson and Gray Award for her incredible leadership!!! Cindy is beyond incredible in all she does for promoting women and minorities in STEM! I cant thank her enough for all she has done

Not at #AERA2023 this year but LST-WPI is represented by the amazing Jieun Lee ! Dont miss her talk on Thursday! And WPI alum Reilly Norum won Best Paper for Instructional Technology for her undergraduate MQP and will be awarded on Saturday!!

Congrats to Dr. Hannah Smith! Its been such a pleasure these last 5 years!!! A Hard earned LST-WPI PhD. Time for you to keep our labs banana plant pup growing!!! 🤩 excited for your next chapter at Assumption!!! hansmith1123 Dr. Gillian Smith (@codingcrafter.bsky.social) Dr. Stacy T. Shaw Paul Reimer

New paper from LST-WPI!
Keep DRAGging ON: Is solving more problems in DragonBox 12+ associated with higher mathematical performance during the COVID-19 pandemic? With Jenny Yun-Chen Chan (詹昀蓁) , Chloe Byrne, Janette Jerusal, Allison Liu Justin Roberts IES Research
doi.org/10.1111/bjet.1…

Meet Dr. Jenny Chen (Jenny Yun-Chen Chan (詹昀蓁)) who researches mathematical thinking & learning across development. She is an alumnus of LST-WPI, UMN Institute of Child Development, & Cognitive Development Lab! Did you know she has two adorable cats? Have a chat with her at our ECE #SRCD2023 reception: eduhk.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6M…

Another LST-WPI paper from our IES Research FH2T grant 'Examining Shifts in Conceptual Knowledge, Procedural Knowledge, and Procedural Flexibility in the Context of Two Game-Based Technologies' accepted at Journal of Computer Assisted Learning! (1/2)

Another paper written with the wonderful LST-WPI alum Avery and Jenny!

2 more LST-WPI manuscripts accepted at great journals today!!! Could not be luckier or prouder of my team! :)

I'm thrilled to share this paper in collab with amazing students LST-WPI Lilly-Beth Linnell, Cindy Trac, Katie Drzewiecki, and e.ottmar.

Does presenting math problems in different font type affect students' performance?
Check out our paper! 🙌😃

New primer on perceptual learning in math by our LST-WPI team :)

New paper by LST-WPI Jenny Yun-Chen Chan (詹昀蓁) Avery Harrison Closser hansmith1123 and I! We use Graspable Math log data from students problem solving in our IES Research efficacy study to examine differences in algebra strategies using variables vs number structure! doi.org/10.1016/j.cedp…

Thanks to IES Research Graspable Math and LST-WPI for all their hard work and support that made this paper possible! Also thanks to Faculty of Education and Human Development, EdUHK for making this paper open access ✨🙌

Another LST-WPI manuscript (led by my amazing undergrad alum Alis!) just accepted today!!! It was her summer fellowship project and she stuck with it after she graduated, the pandemic, and a very long review process l! So very proud of her and my team!!! Stay tuned!! :)

So much fun presenting our computational thinking research at NewEnglandPsych and NERA Conference this week!! LST-WPI hansmith1123 Paul Pacheco

So very proud of Nellie! Love having you be a part of LST-WPI
