"Lo que distingue a los sistemas de IA actuales no es que alucinen, sino que carecen de los mecanismos metacognitivos, ricos y basados en la acción que regulan y corrigen rutinariamente los errores predictivos humanos."

Prediction, Understanding, and the Discomfort Beneath the AI Debate
In a recent blog post, Artificial Intelligence and Education: What Will Change — and What Will Not, Dylan Wiliam makes an important and timely point about generative AI systems.

Academic papers ask "Does X improve learning?" but schools need to know "Does X improve learning enough to justify its implementation costs compared to alternative Y?"

Not all wrong answers are equal. I used to think students just needed the right information to fix misconceptions but then I read the work of Michelene Chi🧵⬇️

My latest post - A tale of a thousand models

It implies that robust intelligence does not require more accurate representations, but more diverse ways of being coupled to the world.

A Tale of a Thousand Models:
In today’s post, I am further exploring the notion of models and mental models. We often speak of mental models as though they are neat packages of knowledge stored somewhere in the mind. These mod…

Whether you call it 'thinking hard' or 'connecting to prior knowledge' the act of encoding/making meaning/ learning is still very loosely described. 'Building schema' fares no better.

All other behavioural aspects are far more easily 'codified' (if you must).

I have just finished reading Difference Maker by Christian Moore-Anderson and would advise any Biology Teachers to give it a read. I have never been so convinced by the pedagogy within a book.

My annual reminder that the hierarchical model of schemas universally adopted in education circles, is not the only one. Remembering such theories are only 'simple stories' that may, or may not, help us understand cognition, here is an alternative by a formidable researcher.

The usual story is: the brain takes in information, represents it, and uses that representation to take action. But what if we’ve got it backwards?

This week, I wrote a gentle intro to enactivism -- What if minds aren’t things we have but things we do? 🧪
