Misconceptions Regarding the Brain: The Neuromyths of Preservice Teachers
Dündar, Sefa; Gündüz, Nazan
Mind, Brain, and Education, v10 n4 p212-232 Dec 2016
Understanding preservice teachers' misconceptions regarding the brain and neuroscience (neuromyths) can provide information that helps teachers to apply neuroscience knowledge in an educational context. The objective of this study was to investigate these misconceptions. Following preliminary research, a questionnaire comprising 59 challenging assertions in two categories (education and neuromyths) was developed as a data collection tool. The findings identify preservice teachers' neuromyths, which were found to vary by teaching area.
