Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? In computer science, a 'hard' discipline, students' absolute beliefs (knowledge as objective 'truths') increased over the three-semester study period. → Rosman 2017
Evidence¶
Rosman 2017¶
Rosman, T., Mayer, A.-K., Kerwer, M., & Krampen, G. (2017). The differential development of epistemic beliefs in psychology and computer science students: A four-wave longitudinal study. Learning and Instruction, 49, 166–177. doi:10.1016/j.learninstruc.2017.01.006
q3 · i? · associational · r?
A four-wave longitudinal study of 226 undergraduates in which "Hypotheses were tested in a three-semester long four-wave study with 226 undergraduates." The reported finding is that "In computer science, absolute beliefs indeed increased over the study period," with no effect size printed.
"In computer science, absolute beliefs indeed increased over the study period."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Epistemic Beliefs — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Epistemic beliefs develop differently across disciplines: absolute beliefs rise in computer science while multiplistic beliefs rise then fall in psychology — a broader claim this one bears on
- Multiplistic epistemic beliefs among psychology undergraduates follow an inversely U-shaped trajectory — related
- Cognitive Maturity disposition scores significantly declined during the WISE Agent intervention, interpreted as de-centering of naive optimism — related
