Epistemological beliefs and epistemic strategies in self-regulated learning (2010, background): “…it seems more appropriate to assume a close relationship to strategic cognitive activities that take the epistemic status of information into account (epistemic validation, Richter, Schroeder, & Wöhrmann, in press; Schroeder, Richter, & Hoever, 2008; or epistemic judgments, Mason & Boldrin, 2008).”
Expanding the Dimensions of Epistemic Cognition: Arguments From Philosophy and Psychology (2011, background): “Some educational researchers have investigated students’ ratings of the trustworthiness of testimonial sources (Braten, Stromso, & Britt, 2009 ) and have probed for reasons why students trust these sources (eg, Mason & Boldrin, 2008 ; Rouet, Britt, Mason, & Perfetti, 1996 ).”
Epistemic metacognition in context: evaluating and learning online information (2010, background): “Nevertheless, research has documented difficulty in recognizing the epistemic value of an information source or piece of information in younger students of different grade levels, from university (Mason et al. in press; Hirsh 1999 )t o high school (Brem et al. 2001; Clark and Slotta 2000) to middle ”
The challenges of teaching and learning about science in the twenty-first century: exploring the abilities and constraints of adolescent learners (2012, background): “Mason and Boldrin (2008) demonstrated that middle school students were unable to reliably identify conflicting information on the web, and were less able to evaluate the credibility of websites, than were high school students.”
Epistemological beliefs are standards for adaptive learning: a functional theory about epistemological beliefs and metacognition (2010, result): “... concurrent online measures of metacognition or used retrospective and task-specific measures of metacognition (Veenman 2005) found less consistent results: The relations between specific epistemological beliefs dimensions and specific components of (partly self-reported) metacognitive skills wer”
The Role of Epistemic Beliefs in the Comprehension of Multiple Expository Texts: Toward an Integrated Model (2011, background): “…epistemic beliefs not only as self-reported beliefs on a questionnaire but as epistemic beliefs in action, that is, as ongoing epistemic judgments and monitoring as assessed through think alouds (cf. Hofer, 2004a; Mason & Boldrin, 2008; Mason, Ariasi, et al., 2011; Mason, Boldrin, et al., 2010b).”
Cognitive Affective Engagement Model of Multiple Source Use (2017, background): “Yet work has found students to be metacognitively aware, only to a limited extent, during multiple text processing (Hofer, 2004; Mason & Boldrin, 2008; Stadtler & Bromme, 2007, 2008; Tsai, 2004).”
Understanding and Promoting Thinking About Knowledge (2016, methodology): “Various forms of semistructured interviews have been used to measure epistemic cognition, beginning with Perry’s (1970) seminal work and continuing through many of the studies on developmental models of epistemic cognition (Mason, 2016).”
When law students read multiple documents about global warming: examining the role of topic-specific beliefs about the nature of knowledge and knowing (2010, background): “One such approach may be to have students think aloud during learning from multiple documents and then analyze the think-aloud protocols for instances of epistemic thinking (cf., Hofer 2004b; Mason and Boldrin 2008).”
