I took a class this semester from the faculty of educational sciences (out of curiousity). I actually quite like it. But this book is horrible to work with hahah... It's just very different and vague, but it is what it is.

As an educator, I adore Duolingo, but I also see its limitations and corruptions. For example:

"Well done completing this level! Here's a reward of 5 'gems'!" No, my reward was the dopamine I got from learning something new. You're trying to stimulate my outer motivation instead of my inner motivation, and I don't like it.

"You ran out of hearts! Are you sure you want to exit this lesson? All the progress of the lesson will be lost." Hahaha no, you can't remove the knowledge I already put in my brain. I will gladly take a break and redo this lesson later for better retention.

"Why not upgrade to Super Duolingo? Users who upgrade are 4.2 times more likely to finish their course!" That statistic may be accurate for the wrong reasons. Learners who decide to pay may be more motivated than the average user to commit in the first place. They may also be less likely to drop out because of sunk cost. There's no actual evidence that paying will give me better tools to learn besides removing ads and wait times. You would need blind studies with a control group to prove it.

A little update, which I've been avoiding doing:

I've decided to stop studying Educational Science. I'll officialy have dropped out February 1st. It's big and scary and I don't really want to think about it, but I'm forcing myself to. I'm pretty sure I want to study Literary Studies, which I'll start next year. I'm not sure what I'll be doing with this blog in the mean time, but I'll keep you posted!
