Paper Abstract:
|
Herein, we qualitatively examine the relationship between epistemological beliefs and quality of thinking when teachers first thought about an ill-defined problem alone, and then with another person in a dyad. The results showed that there was not a systematic connection between epistemological beliefs and ill-defined problem solving in either solo or duo contexts. It is speculated that the emotional and cultural nature of the problem affected teachers problem-solving approach. It is recommended that future experimental studies examine the relationship between epistemic beliefs and thinking in a contextualized way by assuming an integrative approach so that emotions, culture, epistemological beliefs, and cognition are considered systemically. |
