Cognitive biases and fallacies in information handling and strategies to prevent them, the field of education

The aim of the project is to implement organizational improvements and learning processes that will reduce the use of unverified, misleading or false information and practices among employees of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as the Application Guarantor, “AG”) and support their acquisition of skills to avoid the fallacies of limited attention and cognition. The project will (i) test and implement a dynamic e-learning portal embedded in the AG’s information systems and (ii) test and introduce the cognitive repairs into AG’s organizational processes. These interventions are important because of professionally disseminated misinformation, the powers of state officials, and non-optimal general information literacy.
