Abstract

Several studies have shown that teachers often hold neuromyths that can undermine their practices. However, the prevalence of educational misconceptions in topics unrelated to neuroscience remains largely unexplored. This study surveys the prevalence of a wide variety of misconceptions among educators, extending the analysis to underexplored myths in critical areas for daily teaching. The results not only support the popularity of an important number of erroneous ideas but also suggest that the educational level at which teachers operate is the main predictor of the endorsement of misconceptions. We propose specific interventions to align teaching practice with advances in educational research.

超越神经迷思：检视在职教师对教与学的误解

几项研究表明，教师经常持有可能破坏他们实践的神经神话。然而，在与神经科学无关的主题中普遍存在的教育误解在很大程度上仍未被探索。本研究调查了教育工作者中广泛存在的各种误解，并将分析扩展到日常教学关键领域中未被探索的神话。研究结果不仅支持了大量错误观念的流行，而且还表明，教师的教育水平是错误观念得到认可的主要预测因素。我们提出了具体的干预措施，使教学实践与教育研究的进步保持一致。
