Episode 116: On the Behaviorist Approach to Schooling with Ksenia Filatov

  • Summary

  • Dr. Bourgeois and Mr. Miller welcome back Ksenia Filatov, as the three discuss new trends in education that are highlighted by a new superintendent in Houston, Texas and his controversial methods to increase test scores and efficiency. The trio look at the philosophy behind such techniques, the degree to which they are new at all and what needs to be considered when assessing such strategies.

    During the episode, Ms. Filatov brought up two books she feels offers interesting perspectives on education in particular and society in general:

    The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff.
    Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O'Neil.
    Is Micromanaging Classes a Recipe for School Success? by Tony Closson and David Goodman
