| Abstract (English): |
Here we present an empirical replication and comparative study, conducted in Italy, in comparison with studies from other countries (United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Turkey, Greece and China) on neuromyths in personal epistemologies in school teachers with degrees in various disciplines. The selected sample consists of 140 teachers in initial training (83 females and 57 males with an average age of 31.5 years) for access to a teaching post in secondary school. Participants filled out a questionnaire consisting of seven neuromyths indicator questions present in didactic (e.g., We mostly only use 10% of our brain). Teachers were asked to indicate their levels of agreement with such statements reflecting several popular myths in neuroscience: "I agree", "I don't know" or "I disagree". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Italian): |
Presentiamo qui uno studio empirico replicativo e comparativo, condotto in Italia, a confronto con studi di altri paesi (Regno Unito, Paesi Bassi, Turchia, Grecia e Cina) sui neuromiti nelle epistemologie personali in docenti scolastici laureati in varie discipline. Il campione selezionato è composto da 140 insegnanti in formazione iniziale (83 femmine e 57 maschi con un'età media di 31,5 anni) per l'accesso a una cattedra nella scuola secondaria. I partecipanti hanno compilato un questionario composto da sette domande sugli indicatori di neuromiti presenti nella didattica (ad esempio, Per lo più usiamo solo il 10% del nostro cervello). Agli insegnanti è stato chiesto di indicare i loro livelli di accordo con tali affermazioni che riflettono diversi miti popolari nelle neuroscienze: "Sono d'accordo", "Non lo so" o "Non sono d'accordo".
