I really thought this point you made is very insightful:
“apopheniac results of algorithms can be seen by educators, it can create the wrong prejudice about students which makes educational decisions more difficult.”
I also like that word “apopheniac”! Will have to add it to my vocabulary.
Very interesting result with regards to the ‘zero-waste’ search. That content provider obviously has a powerful grasp of how to increase views and be put first in YouTube’s recommender system.
To you recommendation about the need to intervene in education, I would add that there is need to provide space for reflection on results and for students to not just analise the content of their work, but how they arrived at that content. There are obviously other forces at work which direct us to certain sources of information and therefore the way we acquire and build up knowledge.
