- 摘要：Personal epistemological beliefs, one's beliefs about the nature and acquisition of knowledge, and their role in the learning process have become a focus of a growing body research in recent years. Studies show that a person's epistemological beliefs play an important role in their intellectual development as well as in learning specific subjects (Hofer, 2008).
Empirical investigation of personal epistemology has been conducted in the various branches of psychology and education. The range of labels to describe personal epistemology include epistemological beliefs, reflective judgement, ways of knowing, epistemological reflection, epistemological theories, beliefs and resources. Researchers interested in personal epistemology ask questions such as "How do we know what we know?" and "How do our beliefs about knowledge and knowing influence learning?" (Burr & Hofer, 2002).
