Christodoulou, D. (2014). Seven Myths about Education. Abingdon: Routledge
With its catchy title, “Seven Myths about Education”, this book lays waste to outdated ideas and argues against some of the conventional wisdom propounded in some schools, colleges and universities.
Through thoughtful argument and evidence-based research, author Daisy Christodoulou demonstrates how these myths have crept into the education world’s collective subconscious, poisoning practice and confusing correlation with causation.
These myths are:
- Facts prevent understanding;
- Teacher-led instruction is passive;
- The twenty-first century fundamentally changes everything;
- You can always look it up;
- We should teach transferable skills;
- Projects and activities are the best way to learn;
- Teaching knowledge is indoctrination.
