Yang, Fang-Ying; Huang, Rui-Ting; Tsai, I-Ju – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
The primary purpose of this study was to explore not only the effects of epistemic beliefs in science on science-text reading but also the gender differences in epistemic beliefs and the reading process. The interactions between gender and epistemic beliefs during reading were also explored. A total of 25 university students, 13 male and 12…
