Role of Perspective-Taking in Developing Personal Epistemology: A Theoretical Framework for Designing Perspective-Enhanced Case-based Learning Environments

• In Event: D&D - Design of Instruction

Short Description

This presentation discusses personal epistemology as it relates to perspective-taking activities used in classroom settings. The theoretical framework discussed emphasizes that perspective-taking ability can be promoted through reviewing the concepts of personal epistemology. The framework proposes that using case-based activities in a system of four key elements; Contextualization, Role Assignment, Immersive Case Accounts, and Critique and Peer Review, can promote a more enriching learning environment that promotes personal epistemological development and real-world problem solving.
