Hi Twitter. Please follow us @GOALS_York for tweets about genetics, education, autobiographical memories and the self.
Listen to @DoweySarah discuss her research with @Parentengage in a @TooledUpTips podcast on #metacognition in the English classroom with some practical tips for how to help with homework too! @FunkyPedagogy @MetacognitionU @Team_English1 @teachyorkscoast

Research Update: As part of a larger project investigating the impact of migration on first- and second-generation South Asian Muslims in the UK, @salmaiddy is currently conducting a thematic analysis of the life-story interviews of 45 (adult) children of migrants.
Just met with the @GOALS_York group to catch up and share some research ideas. I'm feeling very lucky to work with such lovely and insightful researchers @salmaiddy @Rowena_Leary @laura_j_fox @RosieBawn @Deedef68 @SuziDundas @DoweySarah
Really useful thread on sample size, saturation and other sampling issues in qualitative research.

The pub was fun but now it's time for more on the research going on at the moment in @GOALS_York @DeptEdYork.
So our first ever @GOALS_York AGM was great! Will tweet more about great talks from PhD students @RosieBawn @SuziDundas @Deedef68 @salmaiddy & @DoweySarah next week but, for now, here we are ready for the pub. Have a great weekend one and all!
Finally, here's @RosieBawn, our only third year, presenting the fruits of two years' hard labour testing Year 10s, Year 11s and HE students around the country and exploring questions around theory of mind and vocational development.
Here's @SuziDundas, a second year who has already assembled a fantastic dataset on young people's 'possible future selves' and their approaches to vocational development.
Wow - twitter really has a mind of its own when ordering and re-ordering replies. Let's see where it puts this one 🤷♀️
And this is @DoweySarah showing findings from her acceptability study of metacognitive approaches in English literature classes (in a very lovely chart). Blazing a trail by bringing metacognition to Macbeth.
Here's second year PhD student @salmaiddy presenting her work to date on migrant voices, and generating interesting discussions among the group about challenges in research design - especially for those who see the benefits of both quant and qual research.
GOALS lab will be 1 yr old next month & we're getting together for our 1st AGM tomorrow. Can't wait to hear research talks on careers education, possible future selves, genetics & labelling, migrant identity and metacognition in English literature; & to plan 2019-20 @DeptEdYork

Sylvia Adams Trust is looking to support work which will improve the life chances for some of the most disadvantaged 0 - 3 children in England and Wales by investing in early intervention and preventative work. sylvia-adams.org.uk/what-we-…
Very excited about @Deedef68's Philosophy 4 Children #P4C study of children's views of labelling. And so are our new (newly hatched/created/born???) @GOALS_York colleagues - Zig and Zag.
