In the digital age, the rapid spread of misinformation via online platforms poses significant challenges because the rising interconnectivity allows false information to circulate quickly and widely. This study proposes a Stock-and-Flow simulation model to evaluate the educational interventions' impact on misinformation, featuring three stocks: Misinformed Individuals, Well-Informed Individuals, and Educational Resources, with various flows governed by rates including the Misinformation Spread, Education Effectiveness, Resource Utilization, Resource Growth, and Decay Rates of both Misinformed and Well-Informed Individuals. The simulation explores how education reduces misinformation and how resource availability affects outcomes. While education can significantly lower misinformation, success depends on resource replenishment and Education Effectiveness Rate. Well-Informed Individuals can help counteract misinformation, underlining the importance of sustained educational efforts. The model provides insights for policymakers to design effective strategies for combating misinformation.
