Abstract

The psychogenesis of a pupil’s knowledge is closely related to the issue of the preconceptions and misconceptions that always apply to the specific content, processes, patterns and phenomena. The paper focuses on the theoretical grasp of the preconceptions and misconceptions and subsequent critical analysis of the possibilities and limits of their diagnostics and research.

The paper presents partial results of the qualitative and quantitative research of the pupils’ preconceptions of the selected socio-pathological phenomenon (the influence of so-called sects) within the chosen project GA UK.
