| Study Description | In educational psychology epistemic beliefs are a popular research topic. The present study analyzes effects of source and context on theory-specific epistemic beliefs of graduate students about pedagogical knowledge. Graduate students in teacher education are presented with texts describing six research topics from the field of pedagogical knowledge equally with regard to contents, but different with regard to sources and context (with vs without scholarly context). To each of these research topics several covariates as well as epistemic beliefs were investigated resulting in a split-plot design.
The construct of Theory specific relativism showed factorial invariance for all theories. If the source of knowledge is „expert advice“ Theory specific relativism shows smaller arithmetic means, whereby it shows higher values for theories from humanities. The construct of Theory practice relation showed factorial invariance for all theories, too. Theory practice relation can be predicted by epistemic beliefs and study interest with moderate effect sizes after controlling for source and context. |
