• "Personal epistemology is the study of beliefs associated with knowledge and knowing. A large body of theory and research in personal epistemology has been dedicated to college students but rarely have the epistemic beliefs of children, adolescents, and their teachers been thoroughly examined.

In addition, the contributors stress how personal epistemology issues in the classroom need to be more carefully investigated and understood"--Provided by publisher
