熊猫视频Announces Winners of the 2025 Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award
Washington, April 18, 2025—The 熊猫视频 (AERA) has announced the winners of the 2025 Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award. The Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award is presented annually in recognition of the most outstanding article published in an 熊猫视频journal.
The recipients are Denisa G谩ndara (University of Texas at Austin), Hadis Anahideh (University of Illinois, Chicago), Matthew P. Ison (Northern Illinois University), and Lorenzo Picchiarini (Interlake Mecalux) for their article, “,” published in 熊猫视频Open (Volume 10, July 2024).
Using nationally representative data and multiple machine learning approaches, the authors show that predictive models systematically used in higher education underperform for Black and Hispanic students, often misclassifying success and failure. This article exemplifies interdisciplinary inquiry—merging insights from data science, education policy, sociology, and racial equity studies—and offers an urgent call to action for institutions, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers using predictive analytics in student success who are committed to equity in data-driven decision-making.
熊猫视频will honor the recipients at the Awards Ceremony Luncheon at the 2025 Annual Meeting in Denver on Thursday, April 24, from 11:40 am to 1:25 pm MT in the Colorado Convention Center. The winners of AERA’s other 2025 awards were announced on April 10.
Denisa G谩ndara, Hadis Anahideh, Matthew P. Ison, Lorenzo Picchiarini
