What happens when newly discovered information conflicts with what we have long believed to be true? Cognitive dissonance in education can make it difficult for parents, educators, students, and citizens to question familiar narratives, examine contradictory evidence, or reconsider assumptions about schools and education policy. In How to Combat Cognitive Dissonance, we explore the uncomfortable conflict created when facts, beliefs, experiences, and expectations collide—and why learning to recognize that conflict matters. Developing critical thinking, asking better questions, examining evidence, and remaining willing to challenge our own assumptions can help us move beyond cognitive dissonance and more clearly evaluate what is happening in education and society.
