Conceptual and Methodological Issues and Advances in Research on Epistemic Beliefs
Tue, April 17, 8:15 to 9:45am, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Third Level, South Pavilion Ballroom CSession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium brings together five groups of international scholars with diverse research perspectives on epistemic beliefs. Over the past 20 years, methodological and conceptual issues have plagued research on epistemic beliefs. To address this, our research teams have investigated plausible explanations for these issues and have developed new methodologies and conceptualizations that take into consideration domain specificity, context, and philosophical notions of epistemology. We will present our most recent explorations of these issues and advances to shed light on the nature of epistemic beliefs and how they relate to various facets of learning. Drawing on work from our research groups, different approaches and implications will be explored.
