    Neuromyths in Education: Prevalence Among South Indian School Teachers
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-03-11T00:00:00) Jeyavel, Sundaramoorthy; Pandey, Vijyendra; Rajkumar, Eslavath; Lakshmana, Govindappa
    This study aimed to find out the existence of neuromyths among school teachers in the South Indian states. An online survey was carried out to assess the school teachers� general understanding of the brain and their belief on selected seven neuromyths statements. A total of 503 high school and higher secondary school teachers from South India participated in this study. On average, 65.5% of teachers have shown their belief toward more than two of the neuromyths; 84% of the participants have believed the learning style myths. This points out the difficulty of teachers in distinguishing factual information from non-scientific facts or myths. Therefore, there is an important need for involving interdisciplinary conversation that can reduce misunderstandings among teachers in the future.
