Epistemological And Ontological Beliefs Of Educational Psychology Doctoral Students, Lia Daniels, Lauren Alston
Epistemological And Ontological Beliefs Of Educational Psychology Doctoral Students, Lia Daniels, Lauren Alston
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
As a discipline, educational psychology is somewhat idiosyncratic in terms of content and methodologies. Such idiosyncrasies are likely rooted in the philosophical history of the discipline which involves both the empirical tradition of Thorndike and the contextualized pragmatics of James and Dewey. Despite this, there is little teaching about epistemological and ontological beliefs in most educational psychology doctoral programs. The purpose of this research was to (a) describe educational psychology doctoral students’ epistemological and ontological beliefs and (b) determine the effectiveness of a four-part activity in supporting students’ learning about epistemology and ontology. This study represents scholarship of teaching and …
