"En genomgång av bidragen till de största utbildningsvetenskapliga konferenserna (AERA EARLI, ECER, ACE & HKERA) visar att andelen design- och experimentella studier har minskat internationellt från 17 till 9 % mellan 2013 och 2023, medan andelen kvalitativa studier ökat från 30 till 45 %.
Forskning som systematiskt testar vad som fungerar i undervisningen är särskilt ovanlig i bidrag från de skandinaviska länderna – ungefär 5 procent."

Är den svenska klassrumsmiljön verkligen bland de sämsta i OECD? Tveksamt. Det verkar som om den dramatiska försämringen som står att finna i senaste PISA-undersökningen beror på en översättningsmiss. ekonomistas.se/2024/06/18/or…

The productivity of elite scientists is largely explained by #collaboration with graduate students and postdocs at more prestigious institutions rather than inherent differences in talent (according to a study of 78,802 tenure-track faculty at 262 schools) science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being.
New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied.
Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

En deepfake av kronprinsessan Victoria är den senaste i raden av kändisbluffannonserna på Facebook. För att sprida bluffen köper bedragarna annonser, vilket enligt en granskning av @TjekDet kan ha gett hundratals miljoner kronor till ägarbolaget Meta.

25% of TikTok users produce 98% of all videos pewresearch.org/internet/202…
25% of Twitter/X users produce 97% of the messages pewresearch.org/internet/202…
Highly active users are different from other users (eg they are more opinionated & political), yet set the norms for these platform

Due to the new EU Digital Service Act (DSA), Twitter had to disclose the number of its staff working on content moderation issues (2294) and their language skills.
It is even worse than what was expected.

Thread: Online misinformation about the Israel-Hamas conflict - Day 12
This "IDF in Arabic" Facebook post, now deleted, was widely shared after the tragic scenes at Gaza's al-Ahli hospital.
But that's not the the official IDF Facebook page in Arabic, run by Avichay Adraee.
