Blumenfield, Kempler, and Krajcik (2006) suggest engagement in grounded in four factors:

Value- Learners tend to be engaged with material and lessons they believe are important to them. Value is also closely related to motivation, interest, and goals, all of which are addressed in the next section.

Competence- Learners tend to engage in activities they believe are within their abilities. Competence is grounded in one’s knowledge, their metacognitive abilities and their self-efficacy.

Relatedness- Learners tend to be engaged when they feel positive social connection to their peers.

Autonomy- Learners tend to be engaged when they can exercise choice about what they will study and their plan of study.

Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’. Please bear with it.

Time for a proper #commodon #introduction! I’m an Associate Prof. of #Communication Studies at Northeastern University. I study #disability and #criticaltech, kids/families’ #tech use, and disabled children’s #media use, primarily through #STS #sociology. My next book with MIT Press (Fall 2023) is “Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital Age,” on what young people on the #autism spectrum are doing with media/tech, but also about what it means to “be social” with media.

New #Intro for coming back to this server

I'm going to be using this account to post about #Judaism & #HumanisticJudaism.

I'm a proud #Reform (member of Temple B'nai Israel in #OKC) and #Humanistic (@social.coop/@spinoza) Jew in #Oklahoma by way of #Conversion.

My views on #Israel and #Palestine do not fit well in Zionist or AntiZionist camps.

#Peace
#Shalom

Boosts = express interest

Nothing I post is legal advice.

Because it has to be repeated again and again: We need to drastically reduce the number of cars to solve our problems.

Kerala government makes masks mandatory in public places.😷

#Covid is officially back in its form. 😐

In 2022, Amazon’s revenues were higher than the GDP of 70 countries combined.
1 company’s revenues > GDP generated by 300 million people.

Jan 13: #WHO continues to recommend the use of masks by the public in specific situations, and this update recommends their use irrespective of the local epidemiological situation, given the current spread of the COVID-19 globally.

Bad news for patients on the waitlist for a kidney allograft in Germany. Deceased donor transplantations have dropped by 6.9% in 2022.

Meanwhile in Edinburgh

I was attracted to this location in #Nanaimo, #BritishColumbia, Canada by the reflections of the downed trees, but the moss and ferns were great in the reflections too. This is a #panorama so you might have to click on it to see it in full, or view it in my Image Library here:

So much respect & admiration for NYC nurses who took a stand for patients by demanding safe staffing levels via a 3-day strike. Now, they get to celebrate a 19% pay raise plus safer nurse-patient ratios. This is yet another reminder that nothing changes until we act in courage.

As an #artist, the entire concept of #marketing infuriates me.

Without marketing, the best #art in the world is doomed to languish in obscurity; you've got to make people aware that the experience is available.

But, *because* of marketing, the best art is already doomed to languish in obscurity, because only the most mediocre mainstream crap is funded by multi-million dollar firms that can browbeat upstarts with their marketing budget. It's hard enough to cut through the noise of 8 billion other people before dealing with the multi-millionaires outbidding you for ad space.

So, inevitably, #marketing is a double-edged sword wielded by the rich to cut down fledgling artists with both edges.

And I cannot, for the life of me, think of an equitable solution that would work.

Are we doomed to repeat this cycle until the end of time?

Speaking in Davos, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, accused big oil companies of peddling 'the big lie', calling for them to be held accountable.

“Today fossil fuel producers and their enablers are still racing to expand production knowing full well that this business model is inconsistent with human survival”
