Behaviorism & "Cog Sci" - Oh No!

#

November 7, 2021
Deeply examining behaviorism's pervasiveness and danger to classrooms everywhere.

In this podcast, Nick and I are continuing our foray into random topics of progressive education! Today's episode centers cognitive science, research movements, and "studies of the brain." Within, we'll be talking about what's currently going on at HRP, articles and books that Nick and I have been reading recently, what's going on in our classrooms, Q&A from listeners via Twitter, and then a pop-quiz for who stays alive.
