The Science of Learning: From Myths and Misinformation to Better Practices - Livestream

Why do unsupported ideas about teaching and learning often outlast the evidence against them? The truth is that beliefs and practices in education are often shaped as much by intuition, anecdote, and misinformation as they are by research. This is true of everything from enduring educational myths to current debates about technology and artificial intelligence.

Join us for a Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream with Tesia Marshik. Her work examines how students and educators think about learning, why misconceptions persist, and how evidence-based practices can improve outcomes. Drawing on themes from the forthcoming book Investigating Educational Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies, Marshik and host Leighann Lord will explore how the science of learning can help educators, parents, and policymakers separate compelling claims from credible evidence and build better overall practices.
