One of the best modules on here. Although it was done 50 years ago, Skinner’s thoughts and ideas on education are as relevant and thought-provoking as ever. Very useful!
Amazing and timeless perspective. Schools are still working toward much of this!
What a treat getting to watch this interview was! As a BCBA working in a school, it was fascinating to see BF talking about the same issues I am facing in motivating both students and teachers, some 50 years later.
Very thought-provoking
Some of the questions were ridiculous, but the video was excellent.
