In this second part of Volume 2 we focus on the meaning of the word ‘misconceptions’and compare it to the general understanding of the meaning of ‘errors’ and ‘mistakes’. These different words have different concepts associated with them. We tend to use the word ‘misconception’ indiscriminately when talking to colleagues, and more often than not, we are talking about learner errors or mistakes rather than misconceptions.
