Oluwatoyin Ajilore, a STEM education researcher, education policy columnist at TheCable, and PhD student at Tufts University, has been nominated for the Naomi Miyake Award at the 2025 International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS), held at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
Ajilore, the first author of the nominated paper, joins a group of eight graduate student-led research teams honoured for their groundbreaking contributions to the learning sciences, selected from among hundreds of paper submissions at the annual conference.
The Naomi Miyake Award, presented by the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS), honours exceptional graduate-led research that demonstrates strong potential to advance the field. Only two papers are ultimately awarded each year. Ajilore’s paper, titled “The complexity of adopting and sustaining a listening stance”, was presented at ICLS 2025 as part of a collaborative research project focused on improving how university faculty engage student thinking in STEM classrooms.
