Strong claim from a recent article on using AI to evaluate teaching: "AI evaluation removes human bias in teaching assessment" sciencedirect.com/science/arti
Sort of ironically, I asked AI to evaluate this claim. Gemini 2.5: this is an overstatement, but AI may serve as a "complementary component within a comprehensive, multi-method evaluation framework." docs.google.com/document/d/1V0
ChatGPT 4.1: The claim is "misleading in its absoluteness" drive.google.com/file/d/1p_69v

“The Ones that Care Make all the Difference”: Perspectives on Student-Faculty Relationships
link.springer.com/article/10.1
"We identified four themes for faculty practices: (1) Creating Pedagogical Space, (2) Being Inclusive and Aware, (3) Being Engaged and Engaging Students, (4) Doing More Than Teaching."

SpringerLink“The Ones that Care Make all the Difference”: Perspectives on Student-Faculty Relationships - Innovative Higher EducationStudent-faculty (S-F) interactions that are conducive to students’ learning can help reduce the retention and graduation gaps in higher education, especially for college students from underrepresented and underprivileged backgrounds. The aim of the study was to explore students’ perceptions of their interactions with faculty, and the subjective impact of these interactions on students’ academic and personal life. We analyzed qualitative data from a larger study with the goal of providing best practice models to support students experiencing displacement and food insecurity. Through purposive sampling techniques, 53 students from a diverse public university were recruited. Recruitment strategies focused on students who were likely to be facing academic, personal, and/or financial challenges that may affect their academic performance. Students were interviewed three to four times over a four to six-month period, using semi-structured interview guides. Our multidisciplinary team analyzed data thematically in team-based coding sessions using an online software. We identified four themes for faculty practices: (1) Creating Pedagogical Space, (2) Being Inclusive and Aware, (3) Being Engaged and Engaging Students, (4) Doing More Than Teaching. Based on students’ perspectives, these practices lead to supportive and responsive S-F relationships that facilitate learning and success. The findings have implications related to how faculty can encourage caring S-F relationships and create conducive learning environments where students can thrive, especially during times of crisis.

The promise of mastery-based testing for promoting student engagement, self-regulated learning, and performance in gateway STEM courses sciencedirect.com/science/arti
Used the OLI chemistry course oli.cmu.edu/courses/general-ch
"With mastery-based testing, students chose to repeat exams when they struggled.
Repeating tests was linked to an increase in use of online study resources.
Repeating tests was linked to higher final exam grades, especially for first-gen students."

Testing out a #DeepResearch tool on the topic of: Research-Based #Teaching Techniques for Improving Student Retention in Online Courses
opendeepresearch.dev/chat/OSVu
Here are also links to NotebookLM summaries and a podcast version:

Not a bad job although it's a bit short and doesn't provide specific examples and is a bit out of date (flipgrid no longer exists). Doesn't mention most of the techniques I list here: canvas.instructure.com/courses

"As faculty developers can attest, providing effective TPD [teaching professional development] for faculty is second to the importance of motivating faculty to participate in the first place—you can build it, and build it well, but they will not necessarily come."
Leveraging Psychosocial Interventions to Motivate Instructor Participation in Teaching Professional Development

CBE—Life Sciences EducationLeveraging Psychosocial Interventions to Motivate Instructor Participation in Teaching Professional Development | CBE—Life Sciences EducationTo promote undergraduate education reform, teaching professional development (TPD) efforts aim to encourage instructors to adopt evidence-based practices. However, many instructors do not attend TPD. There may be many reasons for this, including low intrinsic motivation to participate in TPD. Psychologists have dealt with motivational barriers in educational contexts using psychosocial interventions, brief activities that draw on a rich history of psychological research to subtly alter key, self-reinforcing psychological processes to yield long-term intrinsic motivation and behavioral changes. Psychosocial interventions, for example, have been used to alter students’ noncognitive attitudes and beliefs, such as attributions and mindset, which positively influence students’ motivation and academic performance. Here, we propose that insights from research on psychosocial interventions may be leveraged to design interventions that will increase instructors’ motivation to participate in TPD, thus enhancing existing pedagogical reform efforts. We discuss psychological principles and “best practices” underlying effective psychosocial interventions that could guide the development of interventions to increase instructors’ motivation to attend TPD. We encourage new interdisciplinary research collaborations to explore the potential of these interventions, which could be a new approach to mitigating at least one barrier to undergraduate education reform.

If you think you are ‘just not a math person’ then think again

"By bringing mathematics into familiar, low-stakes situations, where the focus is on practical application and curiosity rather than performance, individuals can build more confidence in their use of it."
