Sažetak
Education, teaching, and schooling represent dynamic phenomena. It is important to remember that important factors for achieving the desired educational goals of teaching in one class, school, group of students and individuals are not necessarily important in other classes, schools, groups, and individuals. Therefore, we can state that education is a multivariate process and the result of a certain process, which is influenced by a series of more or less interconnected factors. An immanent feature of every science, including the science of education, is development and variability. The research methodology that makes it possible to shape scientific knowledge, but also to refute it, contributes significantly to this. But due to certain historical, valuable, social and cultural characteristics of the era in which we live, certain myths or misconceptions about education, learning, schooling, and teaching have appeared. They are myths because they have never been scientifically proven or verified, just as they have no practical and methodological basis. Because of their exoticism and attractiveness, myths about education exist in part of the public. The paper briefly presents some previously demystified misconceptions such as the use of 10% of the brain and the dominance of the left or right hemisphere of the brain, the importance of Dale’s cone of experiences and learning styles. Several misconceptions related to constructivist teaching, digital technologies in education and the educationalization of social problems have been explained through detailed, theoretical-comparative and historical approaches. Questioning and recognizing myths about education does not relativize or deny all previous knowledge during the history of pedagogy about education, schooling, learning and teaching, but rather calls for more persistent, detailed and critical research into these phenomena in the future.
