ERRR #025. Daniel Willingham on When We Can Trust the Experts
In a fascinating discussion, Daniel Willingham, a cognitive psychology professor at the University of Virginia and education author, examines the role of expertise in combating job automation effects and promoting educational equity. He encourages educators to critically evaluate research, distinguishing between 'research-based' and 'research-inspired' claims. Willingham also discusses Montessori education, the importance of counterfactual thinking, and the need for incremental improvements in teaching methods, all while advocating for a transformative mindset towards science in education.
