Toward a more dialogic pedagogy: changing teachers’ beliefs and practices through professional development in language arts classrooms (2017, background): “Models of epistemological development suggest that people progress from a simple view of knowledge as static and known by authorities to a more nuanced understanding of knowledge as socially constructed through reasoning (for reviews, see Hofer 2001; Schraw 2001).”
An Integrative Approach to Personal Epistemology: A Guiding Model (2004, methodology): “…may, several researchers in the field have pointed out that we are not very explicit in regard to the actual process of epistemological development, especially when it pertains to the underlying mechanism accounting for change (Bendixen, 2002; Burr & Hofer, 2002; R. Kitchener, 2002; Schraw, 2001).”
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): “Given that personal epistemology at different levels of specificity may have strongest impact on facets of academic learning at comparable levels of specificity (Schraw 2001), we wanted to continue this line of research on topic-specific personal epistemology.”
The Role of Teacher Epistemic Cognition, Epistemic Beliefs, and Calibration in Instruction (2008, background): “The epistemic nature of beliefs about learning has often been debated in the literature and found problematic by several researchers (Hofer and Pintrich 1997, 2002; Schraw 2001).”
Student Thought and Classroom Language: Examining the Mechanisms of Change in Dialogic Teaching (2013, methodology): “Researchers have proposed a variety of models to account for people’s conceptions of knowledge and knowing, or personal epistemology (Hofer, 2001; Schraw, 2001).”
