On the back of this seminar session the School of Psychology\u2019s Educational Research in Psychology (ERiP) group has instigated a number of research collaborations with Naomi to start in the new year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">Dr Amy Fielden, School of Psychology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday 8th of November Dr Naomi Winstone, Lecturer in Cognitive and Educational Psychology &amp; Associate Dean, Learning and Teaching at the University of Surrey, visited Newcastle to deliver a talk as part of the\u00a0ERDP seminar series.\u00a0 The focus of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/2017\/12\/21\/fostering-engagement-with-feedback-from-barely-perused-to-proactively-used\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5896,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5896"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":761,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746\/revisions\/761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/erdp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
