- cratermoon 4y agoThere's nothing called "CRT" being taught to grade school kids. Teaching math using statistical examples from the Implicit Association Test is problematic how?
- brightball 4y agoHow is it beneficial when any other graph could be used to teach the math?
- mrguyorama 4y agoIf you think math problem context drives social change then you are going to have to go find me data on people suddenly buying 37 watermelons at a time after math problems we got in the early 2000s
- cratermoon 4y agoIf any graph can be used, then it doesn't matter, and there's no harm, so why complain?
- anon291 4y agoThe implicit association test has large numbers of critics. Presenting it as as true as mathematics is disingenuous. In fact, it is a silly idea to link any psychological study to mathematics, as psych studies are notoriously un-replicatable. Better to stick to hard sciences like physics, chem, or biology, or at least well-replicated social studies. But presenting something controversial in line with mathematical facts is not a good idea. https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/7/14637626/implicit-association-test-racism https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/7/14637626/implicit-as...
