crl-25767	Ridley, Michael	Informing Algorithmic Literacy Through User Folk Theories	2024	12	.pdf	application/pdf	5712	362	46	In the context of algorithmic systems, Bucher calls folk theories the “algorithmic imagi- nary” explaining, “the algorithmic imaginary is not to be understood as a false belief or fetish of sorts but, rather, as the way in which people imagine, perceive and experience algorithms and what these imaginations make possible” (2017, p. 31). However, the gap between what users believe about algorithms (i.e., their folk theories) and how to use algorithmic systems effec- tively remains an area that is both problematic in terms of user understanding and fruitful in terms of pedagogical strategies.	cache/crl-25767.pdf	txt/crl-25767.txt
