Zusammenfassung
Psychologische Fehlvorstellungen (d. h. der Glaube an Annahmen, die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen der Psychologie widersprechen) sind weit verbreitet. Auch über Themen aus dem pädagogisch-psychologischen Bereich kursieren viele Meinungen und Mythen, denen zum Teil mehr Glauben geschenkt wird als empirischen Befunden. Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet einerseits die Entstehung solch pädagogisch-psychologischer Fehlvorstellungen und andererseits deren wirksame Bekämpfung. Nach einer Definition von pädagogisch-psychologischen Fehlvorstellungen und Ausführungen zu deren potenziellen Auswirkungen gehen wir auf unterschiedliche mögliche Quellen dieser Fehlvorstellungen ein (z. B. Medien, eigene Erfahrungen, falsche Ableitungen aus wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen). Anschließend stellen wir eine Methode vor, die sich als wirksam zur Bekämpfung von Fehlvorstellungen erwiesen hat: Refutations. Wir beschreiben das zugrunde liegende Konzept der Methode und unterschiedliche Einsatzmöglichkeiten.
