| Summary: | This article discusses Educational Myths Debunked 101 (EMD101), a further education course designed to help university faculty identify, analyze, and debunk myths about teaching and learning in higher education. Based on educational psychological findings, EMD101 covers the theoretical basics such as characteristics, causes, consequences of, and dealing with educational myths. Through an emancipatory, transfer-oriented, and reflective approach the course enables faculty to critically evaluate potential questionable teaching beliefs and practices in higher education. The paper details the course objectives, content, and includes a critical review of its strengths and weaknesses, suggesting areas for future improvement.
