Research by philosopher of science and Honorary Research Associate at Bangor University, Byron Hyde, looked at the role of transparency in fostering public trust in science.
The problem is that average people don’t know what significance to attach to the “negative transparency”. Which is why this is necessary:
Hyde is calling for a renewed effort to teach the public about scientific norms, which would be done through science education and communication to eliminate the “naïve” view of science as infallible.
Which is a different way of saying that the society suffers from the value of “obedience to authority” and the bad habit of cognitive offloading (having others think for you). This is the source of a lot of problems…
“Conflict-of-interest is the root of all corruption.” a paraphrase of the now-disgraced Dan Ariely, which I have found consistently to be true…
The teacher-lobby won’t tolerate any displacement of their authority, or centrality, from “education”.
I have read the words of teachers who rail against institutional-policies which sabotage learning for sake of institutional-position, too:
apparently some schools now have a “it isn’t POSSIBLE to fail any test” policy, such that students handing-in blank sheets of paper, in their tests, gets them 51% passing-grade.
In order to make the institution have a higher ranking in the set-of-institutions grading, of course…
UNTIL learning & certification are segregated-from each-other ( like segregation of church from state: required in government ), THEN corruption will continue ruling “education”.
Teachers have to be accountable to objective-standard, re their competence in autonomizing & empowering the learners.
Why would they tolerate such a threat, though?
etc…
It’s a whole huge discussion, & since humankind has decided that socio-political-consensus outranks evidence, & I’m including Scientism in that, … I see zero reason why humankind would change-course, in this, The Great Filter ( this century, when combined-arms conflict-manufacturing forces ALL force humankind into either growing-up or self-extinguishing ).
Escalation, but not changing-course, if you see what I mean…
The alteration of education would have to be sooo fundamental, that many kids got Mission Command style education, & that won’t happen, while I’m alive, that’s fersure…
( Mission Command meant that Nordbat 2, in the Balkans, was ordered, their mission, was to prevent the murdering of Muslims within the population…
& when political-sabotage, meant to protect the “helplessness” of the intervention, to enable the genociding, happened, they directly disobeyed orders, in order to hold-to their original mission.
They rightly were deemed heroes, when all was said & done.
Education would have to orient to that degree of autonomizing, for all who were responsible-enough to earn it, & then surviving this century’s heap-of-compounding-tests would be possible. )
