Better teaching can alleviate mathematics anxiety - LSE Impact
Being anxious about mathematics is a common feeling in higher education. Can addressing emotional and affective responses to mathematics improve teaching?

Choose a method because it answers your question—not because it is familiar or popular. Explain what evidence it produces, what it cannot show, and how you will analyze it. #ResearchMethods

Before collecting data, define what each variable or concept means and how you will observe it. Clear operational definitions make methods more defensible. #ResearchMethods

Afterlives, endy moments and entangled temporalities – How to end participatory research projects better - LSE Impact
By their nature, participatory research projects rarely just come to an end. Are there ways in which all in involved can find closure?

👀ICYMI | "Overclaiming isn’t confined to lesser outlets. Articles in journals with higher impact factors were more likely to use causal language, and this pattern was also evident across twenty elite journals spanning four fields"

Causal overclaiming is common, rising over time, and difficult to avoid - LSE Impact
Academic scholarship is meant to proportion claims to evidence, yet scholars can and do oversell their findings. Is it possible for authors and journals change?

Random assignment helps balance hidden differences between study groups on average, so outcome differences are easier to attribute to the intervention.

#ResearchMethods #ClinicalTrials #Statistics #Evidence
Five-step flow diagram titled How a Randomized Controlled Trial Works. Step 1, Before Randomization, shows 20 participants as a grid of blue, teal and yellow dots. An arrow labeled 2. Random Assignment leads to step 3, After Randomization, where the dots are split into an Intervention Group of 10 and a Comparison Group of 10, each with a similar mix of colours. In step 4, an arrow from each group leads to a box for outcomes measured in that group. In step 5, a bracket joins both boxes and points to a box reading Outcomes compared between groups.

“Why did you choose this method?”

This question can be difficult, even when the method itself is familiar.

Researchers need to explain not only what they did, but why that choice was reasonable.

Methods are decisions, not just procedures.
