Neuromyths in Education

By Jonathan Fajardo and Johanna Guarnizo

In education, misconceptions abound about how the brain works that, unsupported by scientific evidence, have profoundly influenced pedagogical practices. These neuromyths, ranging from misconceptions about learning styles to misunderstandings about brain plasticity, have diverted educators and policymakers from the path to effectiveness. This book is dedicated to debunking these false beliefs, presenting a comprehensive review of each neuromyth and contrasting it with the most recent neuroscience findings. In addition, it provides educators with practical tools and science-based strategies to improve their teaching, foster deeper learning, and promote an educational environment based on facts, not myths. Through an accessible yet rigorous approach, this book is an essential guide for any educator seeking informed and effective pedagogical practice, free of myths that limit learning potential.
