There is sound evidence about the high prevalence of misconceptions about education
among pre-service teachers. This trend continues after students complete the degree in
education and once they are in the exercise of their profession. In fact, several studies
show that these misconceptions are widespread among in-service teachers. Erroneous
ideas about education may divert material and human resources to poor grounded
methods and teaching tools, compromising the quality of education. Strategies to
debunk misconceptions among future teachers, who may not have a firm position
about many educational issues, might contribute to reversing this trend. The main goal
of the present study was to assess the efficacy of refutation texts in the correction
of misconceptions among pre-service teachers. As in previous studies with in-service
teachers, refutation texts were effective in reducing participants’ endorsement of
misconceptions. But this effect was short-lived and did not affect participants’ intention
to use educational methods that are based on the misconceptions addressed in the
refutation texts
