Children's Information-Seeking & Epistemological Preferences

• In Event: AERA Research-in-Progress Roundtable Session 1

Abstract

This research project focuses on understanding how children look for information and where they look depending on the kind of information being searched for, such as definite-answer information (e.g. what time it is in a given country) or non-definite information (e.g. pancake recipes). The results from this epistemological study are sure to inform the development of a robust, media literacy-inclusive curriculum.
