In this opinion piece, we review and characterize the nature of misinformation in education and discuss the implications for corrective efforts. In education, misinformation manifests at three different levels: the individual, the community, and the system. At the individual level, misinformation manifests as naive beliefs or misconceptions students hold before they receive instruction or because of instruction. At the community level, misinformation manifests as shared flawed views or misconceptions about certain topics often around risk factors and treatments of learning disabilities. At the system level, misinformation manifests as state or district educational policies and practices that have no scientific evidence. Thus, corrective efforts in education must be implemented at all three levels and follow best practices.

在这篇评论文章中，我们回顾并描述了教育中错误信息的性质，并讨论了纠正措施的影响。在教育中，错误信息表现在三个不同层面：个人、社区和系统。在个人层面上，错误信息表现为学生在接受指导之前或因接受指导而持有的天真信念或误解。在社区层面，错误信息表现为对某些通常围绕学习障碍的风险因素和治疗主题的共同的有缺陷的观点或误解。在系统层面，错误信息表现为没有科学证据的州或地区教育政策和实践。因此，教育纠正措施必须在所有三个层面上实施并遵循最佳实践。
