This study examined epistemic metacognition as a reflective activity about knowledge and knowing in the context of online
information searching on the Web, and whether it was related to prior knowledge on the topic, study approach, and domain-specific
beliefs about science. In addition, we investigated whether Internet-based learning was influenced by epistemic metacognition
and the individual differences examined. Seventy 8th grade students were interviewed retrospectively after searching for online
information about the scientifically controversial topic of dinosaur extinction. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses
were performed. Findings showed that participants expressed reflections about the simplicity/complexity, certainty/uncertainty,
source, and justification of knowledge at different levels of sophistication, according to three patterns of epistemic metacognition.
Prior knowledge was not related to epistemic metacognition in the search context, while study approach and epistemic beliefs
about science were associated significantly, although modestly, with aspects of online knowledge evaluation. Moreover, findings
revealed that Internet-based learning was influenced by overall science-related epistemic beliefs. Learning from Internet
sources was also affected by study approach and epistemic reflections about the justification of online knowledge, as well
as by the interaction between beliefs about the justification of scientific knowledge and beliefs about the justification
of the knowledge accessed concerning the topic. 相似文献

This study investigates whether university students’ epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge about controversial socioscientific issues (SSIs) can predict the different types of arguments that students construct. Two hundred forty-three university students were asked to construct different types of supportive arguments—social, ethical, economic, scientific, ecological—as well as counterarguments and rebuttals after they had read a scenario on a SSI. Participants’ epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge were assessed separately. Results showed that students’ epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge predicted the quantity, quality, and diversity of the different types of arguments the students constructed. In particular, students who held sophisticated epistemic beliefs about the structure of knowledge and exhibited relatively more robust prior knowledge scores, produced arguments of greater quantity, better quality, and higher diversity than students with less sophisticated epistemic beliefs and low prior knowledge scores. Educational implications are discussed. 相似文献

Epistemic Beliefs and Their Relation to Multiple-Text Comprehension: A Norwegian Program of Research
Leila E. Ferguson 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2013,57(6):731-752
Nowadays, students are required to use multiple information sources to complete tasks, both in and out of school. The beliefs that students hold about knowledge and knowing – their epistemic beliefs – have been linked to successful integration of information across multiple texts. Framed by literature on epistemic belief research from an educational psychology perspective, this article reviews a recent Norwegian program of research on students' epistemic beliefs. The research has implications for educational research and practice that are discussed. 相似文献

In the present study it was investigated whether high school students are spontaneously able to reflect epistemologically during online searching for information about a controversial topic. In addition, we examined whether activating epistemic beliefs is related to individual characteristics, such as prior knowledge of the topic and argumentative reasoning skill; also whether learning from the Web is influenced by epistemic beliefs in action and the ability to detect fallacies in arguments. The participants (N = 64) were students of Grade 13, who were asked to think aloud during navigation. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. Findings reveal that most participants spontaneously activated beliefs about all four dimensions identified in the literature, that is, about the simplicity/complexity, certainty/uncertainty, justification, and source of knowledge, at different levels of sophistication. Most epistemic reflections were about the source of knowledge. Two patterns of contextualized epistemic beliefs emerged and significantly influenced learning from the Web, which was also affected by participants' ability to identify argumentative fallacies. 相似文献

当代彻底怀疑论宣称关于外部世界的知识是不可能的。面对怀疑论的攻击,怀特发展了一条内在主义式的反怀疑论方案。基于传递失败和认知资格两个关键概念,该方案指出认知者接受类似我没有在做梦一类的反怀疑论命题是符合认知理性的,因此怀疑论攻击所造成的破坏是有限度的。有一派反对意见指出,该方案只是为接受反怀疑论命题给出了实用辩护,而怀疑论者则是要求认知辩护。但经过分析可以发现,批评者对于认知辩护与实用辩护的理解过于狭隘,而怀特的方案同时给出了实用辩护与认知辩护,也对怀疑论产生的根源做出了哲学治疗。 相似文献

AbstractWe examined the role of epistemic cognition in calibration to task complexity before and during learning. Sixty-six undergraduate students were presented with two learning tasks—a simple task and a more complex task—in random order. Prior to learning, offline measures of learners’ epistemic beliefs about climate change were taken. An open-ended questionnaire was then used to capture task definitions, goals, and plans. To assess online epistemic cognition and learning strategies used during learning, a think-aloud protocol was employed. Results showed that epistemic beliefs before learning predicted epistemic cognition during learning. Further, results demonstrated that calibration to task complexity before learning was not related to epistemic beliefs but was related to epistemic cognition during learning. These findings suggest that individuals engage in epistemic cognition during learning to better understand the nature of the knowledge to be learned and that this results in better calibration of learning processes to task complexity. 相似文献

The authors examined whether students’ epistemic and learning beliefs varied across different knowledge types in physics. On the basis of various beliefs frameworks, the authors predicted that individuals’ beliefs would vary within a domain across the same content when presented conceptually versus procedurally. Participants were 81 high school students enrolled in an advanced physics course. Students completed a conceptually oriented test and a procedurally oriented test on the same content 1 week apart, and they immediately responded to the Epistemological Beliefs Assessment for Physical Science questionnaire after completion of each test. Results revealed that girls espoused more constructivist beliefs about physics for conceptual knowledge than for procedural knowledge, whereas the opposite was found for boys. Moreover, female students espoused more constructivist beliefs than did male students across both types. These results have important theoretical and methodological implications. 相似文献

We explored the scientific argumentation that occurs among university biology students during an argumentation task implemented in two environments: face-to-face in a classroom and online in an asynchronous discussion. We observed 10 student groups, each composed of three students. Our analysis focused on how students respond to their peers’ unscientific arguments, which we define as assertions, hypotheses, propositions, or explanations that are inaccurate or incomplete from a scientific perspective. Unscientific arguments provide opportunities for productive dissent, scientific argumentation, and conceptual development of scientifically desirable conceptions. We found that students did not respond to the majority of unscientific arguments in both environments. Challenges to unscientific arguments were expressed as a question or through explanation, although the latter was more common online than face-to-face. Students demonstrated significantly more epistemic distancing in the face-to-face environment than the online environment. We discuss the differences in discourse observed in both environments and teaching implications. We also provide direction for future research seeking to address the challenges of engaging students in productive scientific argumentation in both face-to-face and online environments. 相似文献

认识论资源是教学论研究日渐兴起的一个概念。21世纪以来,受认识论发展研究的低龄转向与社会转向的影响,相关研究更加关注个体认识论的内在发展机制,进而形成了"认识论资源"概念。在这一视角下,原始经验是认识论的组成材料,社会环境调控认识论的组成方式,认识论形态被视为局部连贯激活的认识论资源网络,认识论发展被视为调用与协调认识论资源。上述观点为教学提供了相关启示,一是重视教师指导下学生基于认识论实践建构知识的过程;二是凸显整合背景要素、认知要素和社会要素的教学情境;三是利用对话教学捕捉学生话语,并解构其认识论发展水平。 相似文献

Searching the Web to learn about a controversial topic: are students epistemically active? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Students are making an increased use of the Web as a source for solving information problems for academic assignments. To
extend current research about search behavior during navigation on the Web, this study examined whether students are able
to spontaneously reflect, from an epistemic perspective, on the information accessed, and whether their epistemic metacognition
is related to individual characteristics, such as prior knowledge of the topic and the need for cognition. In addition, we
investigated whether Internet-based learning is influenced by the activation of spontaneous epistemic metacognition in the
search context. Forty-six psychology and engineering university students were asked to research information about a controversial
subject in order to write an essay. They were also asked to think aloud during their research. Both qualitative and quantitative
analyses were performed. As revealed by their spontaneous reflections, all participants were epistemically active, although
to different extents and levels. As expected, there was evidence that students activated beliefs about the four epistemic
dimensions identified in the literature, especially about the credibility of an electronic source and the criteria for justification
of knowledge. Prior knowledge was not related to activation of epistemic beliefs in the search context, while the need for
cognition significantly associated with aspects of source and its content evaluation. Two patterns of epistemic metacognition
were identified and they significantly influenced Internet-based learning. Students who spontaneously generated more sophisticated
reflections about the sources as well as the information provided, outperformed students who were active only at the first
epistemic level. Educational implications are drawn. 相似文献

We hypothesized that instruction in the criteria of scientific arguments, in combination with constructivist epistemic beliefs, would produce greater learning about physics concepts. The study was a randomized experiment, where college undergraduates (n = 88) discussed, in pairs over the Web, several physics problems related to gravity and air resistance. Prior to their discussions, one‐half of the dyads received information on the nature of scientific arguments. All students were classified epistemologically as relativists, multiplists, or evaluativists. We found that students in the treatment group incorporated more scientific criteria into their discussion notes and accordingly developed better arguments on several dimensions. In addition, significantly more participants in the treatment group adopted the correct answer to one of the problems. Outcomes also differed in relation to students’ epistemic beliefs. Specifically, multiplists were less critical of inconsistencies and misconceptions, and interacted with their partners less than other belief groups, whereas evaluativists interacted more critically, bringing up different ideas from their partners. Evaluativists also solved one of the physics problems more accurately and tended to demonstrate a reduction in misconceptions. We discuss the results in light of instruction in scientific argumentation, conceptual development and change, and epistemic beliefs. 相似文献

通过两次问卷调查可以发现,绝大多数调查对象直观上都认为：理解一个命题就是知道它的意义。然后我们认为,在认知逻辑中,理解,作为一个模态算子,可以在一个较弱的意义上用知道算子来刻画：理解一个命题就是知道它的真假。由此,我们给出一个刻画理解的认知逻辑来揭示理解与知道之间的联系与区别。 相似文献

An experimental study investigated the influence of informational dependence on information appropriation as a function of epistemic authority’s styles. In a 2×2 design, university students were informed that acknowledging epistemic dependence was related either to academic success or to academic failure, and were exposed to controversial information from an epistemic authority that used either an authoritarian or a democratic style. The main dependent variable was the extent to which participants appropriated the controversial information. Firstly the results showed that students were more inclined to admit that their own academic competence depended on the information delivered by the teachers when epistemic dependence was related to success rather than to failure. Secondly, the admittance of dependence had a different impact on information appropriation according to the authority’s style. Admittance increased appropriation under a democratic style whereas it decreased appropriation under an authoritarian style. 相似文献

The Role of Teacher Epistemic Cognition, Epistemic Beliefs, and Calibration in Instruction 总被引：4，自引：3，他引：1
This review examines the literature on teacher epistemic cognition, epistemic beliefs, and calibration to consider the relation
between these constructs and instruction that emerged from empirical studies. In considering how this body of literature can
enhance understanding of how students become masters of their learning processes, we will briefly review how different theoretical
frameworks have conceptualized the relation between epistemic cognition, epistemic beliefs, calibration and metacognition,
self-regulation, and self-regulated learning. Implications for research include a more nuanced conceptualization of epistemic
beliefs and a theoretical integration of these constructs. Implications for practice regard the reciprocal relations between
teachers’ knowledge, experience, epistemic cognition, epistemic beliefs, and calibration and their effects on pedagogical
practices. The role of teachers’ education and professional development is discussed.

This study explores the relationships among Taiwanese high school students’ scientific epistemic beliefs (SEBs), conceptions of learning science (COLS), and motivation of learning science. The questionnaire responses from 470 high school students in Taiwan were gathered for analysis to explain these relationships. The structural equation modeling technique was utilized to reveal that the students’ absolutist SEBs led to reproduced COLS (i.e. learning science as memorizing, preparing for tests, calculating, and practicing) while sophisticated SEBs were related to constructive COLS (i.e. learning science as increase of knowledge, applying, and attaining understanding). The students’ reproduced COLS were also negatively associated with surface motive of learning science, whereas the constructive COLS were positively correlated with students’ deep motive of learning science. Finally, this study found that students who viewed scientific knowledge as uncertain (advanced epistemic belief) tended to possess a surface motive of learning science. This finding implies that the implementation of standardized tests diminishes Taiwanese high school students’ curiosity and interest in engaging deeply in science learning. 相似文献

This study examines first graders' epistemic reasoning, in tacit “practical epistemologies” reflected in thinking about an investigation of their own design. I analyzed children's epistemic reasoning, following a design experiment scaffolding increasing regulation of scientific inquiry in a domain they studied in depth. Participants consisted of children in two first grade classes (n = 35). The study capitalizes on the final phase of the design experiment, wherein pairs assumed substantial responsibility for design and implementation of an investigation pursuing their own question. I conducted structured interviews with each pair, eliciting their thinking about their investigation. Forty-three percent of the children attributed uncertainty to their findings. Forty-nine percent transcended phenomenon-based reasoning in thinking about how to improve their study, reasoning instead in terms of relation between variables. Forty percent posited additional potentially influential variables, reflecting a tacit understanding of the lack of any straightforward one-to-one correspondence between cause and effect. These findings suggest that epistemic reasoning is plastic, sensitive to instructional opportunities. I argue that the children's relatively deep familiarity with the domain, experience in assuming increasing responsibility for structuring scientific inquiry, and investment they had in their own investigations contributed to the surprisingly robust epistemic reasoning they revealed in this context. 相似文献

Individual differences in epistemic dispositions may affect learning from multiple-document inquiry tasks by prompting different students to have different task and activity models. Students with epistemic beliefs that are more appropriate for the required activities may view a multiple-document inquiry task as an exercise in corroboration, seeking coherence, and looking for evidence to support claims, whereas students with less-appropriate epistemic beliefs may see the goal as simply finding the “right” answer verbatim within the documents. This paper describes attempts to develop an assessment for this subset of epistemic beliefs about the value of engaging in integration of evidence when learning from multiple documents in history. Across three experiments, the measure was shown to be reliable and valid. It also uniquely predicted multiple-document comprehension in history above and beyond beliefs about the simplicity and certainty of knowledge, and accounted for differences in prior instruction and experience with document-based questions. 相似文献
