Abstract

The article discusses "Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized Learning," which explores the intersection of education, psychology, and technology. The author critiques the historical narrative surrounding educational technology, particularly focusing on the contributions of figures like B.F. Skinner and Sidney Pressey, while also highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives, including those from the civil rights movement and the experiences of African Americans and women in the field. The text emphasizes the need for a more inclusive historiography that addresses overlooked contributions and the broader implications of personalized learning in various contexts. Overall, it presents a critical examination of how historical narratives shape our understanding of educational technology. [Extracted from the article]
