Description
Seven Myths about Education by Daisy Christodoulou This book offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy, challenging widely-held beliefs that are holding back pupils and teachers. Christodoulou examines seven common myths in education, exploring their practical implications and the principles of modern cognitive science. She argues that these myths are based on evidence-less theory and bad practice, which have been promoted and mandated by governments and educational organisations around the world. Through accessible and engaging chapters, Christodoulou sets out the theory behind each myth, and explains why they are no longer valid. She builds a powerful case for change, highlighting the need for a more evidence-based approach to education. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in education, including teachers, policymakers, and researchers. By challenging the status quo and promoting a more informed approach to teaching and learning, Seven Myths about Education is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of education.
