Beth Dichter's insight:

This video may surprise you with what students actually learn (or do not learn) when watching videos. If you are going to be creating videos to flip your classroom, or you using videos created by others take the time to watch this one. You may find yourself making some revisions to help your students better understand key concepts.

SCIENCE TEACHERS: WATCH THIS VIDEO! This is a great video that explains what students gain from watching videos dealing with science concepts. Watch this and use the information to choose great videos. Or add components to the videos you already watch to help make sure your students will learn.

Aquest vídeo et pot sorprendre amb el que els estudiants  aprenen (o no aprèn) quan miran vídeos. Si eres mestre, si estàs creant vídeos per a estudiants o tal vegada utilitzes els d'altres,  agafeu temps per mirar aixo.

How to (Once and For All) Correct Mistaken Beliefs | MindShift

How to (Once and For All) Correct Mistaken Beliefs | MindShift | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From blogs.kqed.org - April 25, 2013 10:20 PM

"'Often mistaken, never in doubt." That wry phrase describes us all more than we'd like to admit.' 

The psychological study of misconceptions shows that all of us possess many beliefs that are flawed or flat-out wrong—and also that we cling to these fallacies with remarkable tenacity. Although much of this research concerns misguided notions of how the physical world works, the techniques it has produced can be used to correct any sort of deficient understanding."

Beth Dichter's insight:

How do you go about teaching students to correct mistaken beliefs?  Studies show that “students ignored correct textual information when it conflicted with their previously held concepts. On measures of free recall and recognition, the students consistently let their incorrect prior knowledge override incoming correct information.” 

So what are the three ways to help students correct these mistaken beliefs?

* Highligh the mistaken notion

* Issue an advance alert

* Create a confrontation

Additonal information how to implement these are in the post.

Fascinating and clear perception busting tips!  Directed at student learning I think this applies to everyday and everyone.  Misguided perceptions can be very destructive.  I know I'm going to try these techniques for sure! ;-)
