The idea of technology that would allow students to \u201cgo at their own pace\u201d did not originate in Silicon Valley. In Teaching Machines, education writer Audrey Watters offers a lively history of predigital educational technology, from Sidney Pressey&#8217;s mechanized positive-reinforcement provider to B. F. Skinner&#8217;s behaviorist bell-ringing box. Watters shows that these machines and the pedagogy that accompanied them sprang from ideas\u2014bite-sized content, individualized instruction\u2014that had legs and were later picked up by textbook publishers and early advocates for computerized learning.<\/p>\n<p>Watters pays particular attention to the role of the media\u2014newspapers, magazines, television, and film\u2014in shaping people&#8217;s perceptions of teaching machines as well as the psychological theories underpinning them. She considers these machines in the context of education reform, the political reverberations of Sputnik, and the rise of the testing and textbook industries. She chronicles Skinner&#8217;s attempts to bring his teaching machines to market, culminating in the famous behaviorist&#8217;s efforts to launch Didak 101, the \u201cpre-verbal\u201d machine that taught spelling. (Alternate names proposed by Skinner include \u201cAutodidak,\u201d \u201cInstructomat,\u201d and \u201cAutostructor.\u201d) Telling these somewhat cautionary tales, Watters challenges what she calls \u201cthe teleology of ed tech\u201d\u2014the idea that not only is computerized education inevitable, but technological progress is the sole driver of events.<\/p>\n<p>Enlaces de inter\u00e9s:<br \/>\n<em>Hack Education<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/hackeducation.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hackeducation.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Frases entresacadas e ideas interesantes que puedo utilizar:<\/p>\n<p>(P\u00e1gina )<br \/>\n\u201c \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaching Machines The history of personalized learning Audrey Watters The MIT Press https:\/\/mitpress.mit.edu\/books\/teaching-machines Summary: Contrary to popular belief, ed tech did not begin with videos on the internet.
