Abstract
Hoaxes, disinformation, conspiracy theories... are not only a matter of the adult world, but thanks to the digital era, the skills of the youngest, and, last but not least, the influence of the home environment or the immediate surroundings, they are also becoming part of the world of children and adolescents. What tools does the teacher, as one of the dominant agents influencing the learners and their critical thinking, have in his or her hand to direct them correctly against deceptive, conspiratorial content? The present study focuses on the available material in the field, which could be used as companion material at the secondary education level in German-speaking and Slovak-speaking countries, and its comparison. The aim is to summarize such documents and at the same time to point out possible resources for the development of critical thinking that are applicable in different phases of the teaching process and can sensitize the learner's mindset to the subject content in a step-by-step manner.
