Education Technology and Skinner’s Box
B.F. Skinner. Teaching Machines. Behaviorism. Audrey Watters führt uns in die 1950/ 1960er Jahre, als Skinner an vielen Stellen offene Ohren und Geldbörsen für seine Ideen und Experimente fand. Bis Noam Chomsky den „The Case Against B. F. Skinner“ schrieb. Sie schließt:
„But that’s not to say that the influence of Skinner and behaviorism are gone. Far from it. Behaviorism has persisted – although often unnamed and un-theorized – in much of the technology industry, as well as in education technology – in Turing machines not simply in teaching machines.“
Audrey Watters, Hack Education, 10. Februar 2015
