This book provides recent examples of how misinformation and disinformation manifest in the field of education and remedies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSection One, Susceptibility to Misinformation\u003c\/em\u003e, focuses on factors that influence the endorsement and persistence of misinformation.
