Beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning, known as epistemological beliefs, have been of interest to educational researchers and psychologists for some years. New perspectives on theoretical, conceptual, and methodological approaches and empirical studies emerging in the literature are helping to make epistemological beliefs a well defined field of study. Studies show that personal epistemology influences comprehension, study strategies, learning, and academic performance. Bringing together prominent educators and researchers, this book focuses on conceptual and methodological issues. It offers a state-of-the-art theoretical understanding of epistemological beliefs from both educational and psychological perspectives. Readers discover recent advances in conceptualization and epistemological studies across diverse cultures.
