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.

q2 i? Studies by Deniz (2011) and Güven, Sülün, and Çam (2014) reported changes in student teachers' epistemic beliefs after reflection during science units. → Jo Lunn Brownlee 2017

Narrative review evidence: the article reports that Deniz (2011) and Güven, Sülün, and Çam (2014) "asked student teachers to engage in reﬂection on their epistemic beliefs" during science units and that "Both studies reported changes in student teachers' epistemic beliefs", including changes in certainty, simplicity, justification, source, quick learning, innate ability, and simple knowledge. No effect sizes are printed.

"asked student teachers to engage in reﬂection on their epistemic beliefs as they participated in science units. Both studies reported changes in student teachers' epistemic beliefs"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Epistemic Beliefs — outcome: instruction changes it

Quasi-experimental and experimental interventions can positively change epistemic cognition, but the theory-of-change remains unidentified — a broader claim this one bears on
Training facilitates belief change particularly when it encourages reflection of beliefs and teachers gain practical experience in inclusive classrooms — related
