While the epistemic beliefs are defined as beliefs about knowledge and knowing, the nature of science (NOS) is about the epistemological and ontological foundations of science, how scientists work, how scientific knowledge is produced, how it is tested and validated and how society affects or reacts to science. In this study, the link between…

Battaly, Heather – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2023
Some of the students in our classrooms doubt their intellectual strengths--their knowledge, abilities, and skills. They may be unaware of the intellectual strengths they have, or may ignore, lack confidence in, or under-estimate them. They may even incorrectly judge themselves to be intellectually inferior to their peers. Students who do such…

Valentina Nachtigall; Angelina Firstein – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
The present two studies investigated whether students' development of epistemic beliefs about the educational sciences (study A; N = 152) and linguistics (study B; N = 150) can be affected by authentic learning activities in an out-of-school lab (OSL). OSLs aim to engage students in authentic activities that attempt to simulate the ways how…

Ahmed, Anjum; Shawl, Roman Shafi – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2023
Academic resilience can be defined as the capability of students to solve their problems in times of pressure, anxiety, stress, and other setbacks. It is imperative to have insight into academic resilience as students are involved in various obstacles in the field of education. Scientific epistemological views reflect the individual's beliefs…

Yizhou Ling; Hongyan Ren; Jiayan Yu; Ting Zhong – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: The views of the nature of science (VNOS) is one of the important goals of science education. According to information processing constructivism, learners' psychological factors that may influence VNOS include scientific argumentation (SA), metacognition (MC) and epistemic beliefs (EB). Purpose: This mixed-methods study aims to analyse…

Previous research has shown that motivation, epistemic beliefs, and perceived social support each have an effect on the way students engage in their learning and can promote a deep approach. The first aim of this study was to measure and compare these effects. Some authors have argued that epistemic beliefs and perceived social support do not have…
