Disinformation takes various forms, posing harmful and far-reaching effects that can erode trust in public institutions, influence elections, and jeopardise public health. The report Eduation as a countermeasure against disinformation, written by Professor Thomas Nygren, Department of Education, Uppsala University, and Professor Ullrich K H Ecker, School of Psychological Science, University of Western Australia, addresses the critical role of the education system in confronting these challenges. Specifically, it explores how education should empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and constructive attitudes necessary to navigate a complex and often misleading information landscape.
Rapporten är även publicerad på svenska: Utbildning för motståndskraft mot desinformation.
