Does Formal Education Teach You How to Think?

Discover the truth about the formal education system and its ability to teach us how to think. Join us in this thought-provoking video with Bryan Caplan as we explore the field of educational psychology and its findings on learning how to think. Delve into over a century of research and experimental studies that shed light on the effectiveness of the education system in promoting critical thinking. We'll discuss the dominant perspective in educational psychology, which suggests that learning is often limited to what is directly taught, and individuals struggle to apply knowledge to broader contexts. Additionally, we'll explore the minority viewpoint that claims to have found a solution for teaching people how to think. Uncover the challenges and skepticism surrounding these claims and gain insight into the specific experiments conducted in educational psychology. Prepare to question the effectiveness of traditional education and consider the complexities of learning in the real world.
