Advances in the Study of Epistemic Beliefs and Their Impact on Student and Teacher Outcomes

Thu, April 3, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: 200 Level, Hall E

Session Type: Poster Session

Abstract

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that epistemic beliefs have a profound affect on student and teacher outcomes. The study of epistemic beliefs is contingent on having valid and reliable measures of epistemic beliefs. This can be challenging given the highly personal nature of epistemic beliefs and the fact that they can vary across contexts, domains, and topics. It can equally be challenging to explore how these belief systems can affect complex behaviors of both students and teachers. This highlighted poster session presents for papers that illustrate advances in the endeavor to measure epistemic beliefs and study their impact on student and teacher outcomes.
