Getting Started with Research on Epistemologies and Expectations
written by
Andrew Elby
published by the American Association of Physics Teachers edited by Charles R. Henderson and Kathleen A. Harper
In this chapter, I introduce the notion of student epistemologies and expectations, their views about what counts as knowledge and learning in a given physics class and in physics more generally. I then review some of the ways in which researchers have studied these constructs and make suggestions about getting started on your own research. A major theme is that important theoretical questions about the cognitive structures and processes underlying student epistemologies -- and how best to study them -- are not yet settled. Researchers therefore need to try to uncover and articulate the theoretical assumptions implicit in their research methods.
