Honoured to present last week at @ukstemconf.bsky.social about the experiences of UK PhD demonstrators, role ambiguity, identity, community bonds, and career implications.
Paper is linked below. Thank you to those who attended the talk and asked questions. It was a great discussion #UKSTEMConf25

Had a fantastic time last week presenting with Kieran Lyon about our work on Manual Calculations and how they can be used to improve students understanding and confidence in statistics! We are still recruiting but preliminary findings are promising #UKSTEMConf25

Erin Brady shared how in depth qualitative analysis of students' experiences can be shared through stories #ukstemconf25
My take homes:
1) Longitudinal interview data is awesome
2) need to be careful tell students the stories of other, as we speak from own lens
3) stories let students feel seen

First subject talk of the day #UKSTEMConf25. Chris Love talking about student self support.
My take homes
1) transitioning to HE requires different study skills
2) students can be taught self evaluation & study skills theories in an accessible way
3) this can be scaffolding into to subject module

@annajkirkham.bsky.social starts the lab skills strand with her work on integrating videos into labs.
#ukstemconf25
My take homes are:
1) videos of lab skills can be used by students at different times
2) ask students what videos they'd find helpful
3) film students are great at making videos
