Such valuable insight. Must read.

We know it's tough out there. Student achievement and challenging behavior aren't getting better. In fact, the gaps are worsening with lower income and younger students. Fortunately new research finally explains why. Memory and flexible thinking, skills key to learning, declined significantly during the pandemic. Check out the research below. But here’s the GOOD news: Now that we pinpointed why students aren't recovering, MindPrint can provide simple, effective ways to support your students and accelerate achievement.   Don't lose more time. Contact MindPrint today. https://hubs.li/Q02Qy_6r0

A new study found that COVID harmed the cognitive skills of students and teachers. Greg Toppo explores how children’s brains began demonstrating weaker memory and “flexible thinking” skills as the pandemic changed schooling in The74. https://lnkd.in/etrV-B_4 #EducationResearch #CognitiveSkills #RemoteLearning #PandemicImpact #StudentWellbeing #LearningLoss #MentalHealthMatters

From rising costs to increasing mental health challenges, university students face a variety of external factors that can hinder their student experience. To prepare students for these issues, education providers need to demonstrate the purpose the help students find, the support available to them, and the ways education are investing in new solutions, ideas, and values. #studentexperience #mentalhealth #AI

Excited to share a project close to my heart: over the last few years, our team at Dartmouth College has been on a remarkable journey, tracking the lives of over 200 undergraduates for the entirety of their college experience, from 2017 to 2022. This isn’t just any study; it’s the longest-running mobile sensing project of its kind. We dived into everything—how students move around campus, their sleep, social habits, and even how they felt through surveys and brain scans, especially during the ups and downs of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim? To truly grasp how students' mental health and behaviors evolve over their college years. Why does this matter? Understanding these patterns can help universities better support their students, creating a healthier, more productive environment for everyone. We’re now opening this dataset to the world, hoping it sparks more research and conversations on student support. We’ll be presenting our findings at the ACM UbiComp conference in Melbourne this October.

Interesting article about the impact of COVID on the cognitive capacity of students AND teachers. It highlights the need to work a bit more with everyone on redeveloping their ability to think, remember and problem solve. https://lnkd.in/gJ6cHRHf

Did you know ~ 17 ~ ''Traditional classrooms aren’t often designed with the needs of neurodivergent learners in mind, leading to a mismatch between the environment and the needs of the learner.'' You find some great insight below courtesy of Kris Astle's blog, looking into the SMART & University of Melbourne's current research project! #inclusiveeducation #connectionsthatmatter SMART Technologies https://lnkd.in/eqCTxf_k

This article is highly informative and well worth your time, it measures the correlation between education level and cognitive ability. https://lnkd.in/dpmHAzgN

Postsecondary education continues to be one of the most effective vehicles to improve socioeconomic standing and quality of life. But gaps in achievement and opportunity for underrepresented groups continue to persist. In our latest research brief authored by Omid Fotuhi, we identify the role that psychological barriers play in undermining performance and persistence, especially among those from underrepresented groups. At the same time, research has shown promise for psychological interventions that offer more adaptive attributions in the face of common challenges and setbacks. Tailored, targeted, and timely psychological interventions can significantly improve performance and well-being. However, it is critical to avoid the temptation to believe that any solution is a one-size-fits-all approach to student success. Implementing a continuous, iterative cycle of assessment and intervention will keep the interventions updated and relevant for the target population. https://lnkd.in/g4tnW7Dt #highereducation #psychologicalintervention #studentperformance
