There are numerous sources of these non-scientifically based interpretations of reality, one of them being the teachers themselves. As certain studies point to an analogy between misconceptions of students and teachers (Kruger, 1990; Metioui & Trudel, 2012), the present paper addresses this issue pertaining to the topic of light phenomena and the formation of shadows. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Knowledge in shadow – misconceptions related to light phenomena that are retained in spite of education Institut za pedagoška istraživanja / Institute for Educational Research application/pdf 476686 bytes Problems and perspectives of contemporary education 2021
