In this first episode of the LibOwl, opening the 2024-25 academic season, Angela Chamosfakidis, an IB Psychology and Theory of Knowledge teacher at ACS Athens, discusses her admiration for Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman. Her conversation with LibOwl host Dr. Marco Crivellaro explores Kahneman's profound influence on psychology and economics, particularly his work on behavioral economics and decision-making. Angela explains the relevance of Kahneman's theories, including "System 1" (intuitive, fast thinking) and "System 2" (analytical, slow thinking), and how they apply to education. She emphasizes the value of both systems in learning, with an emphasis on understanding cognitive biases to enhance student growth. The discussion also touches on the human experience of learning through failure and the emotional aspect of decision-making, contrasting it with machine learning. Ultimately, Angela reflects on the importance of fostering both emotional and rational thinking in students, framing growth as an essential part of the educational process.
