Epistemological Research in Educational Sciences: Critical Investigation of Past, Present and Future Perspectives

35684

This study is a critical review of epistemology related scientific research which expands on approximately fifty years. Personal epistemology involves individual’s core beliefs effective on their teaching-learning beliefs and behaviors. This centrality of epistemological beliefs in terms of teaching and learning has accelerated the scientific research on this area. However, in national literature there is not any review study presenting critics related to epistemological perspectives and models, importance of epistemological studies and future trends in this area. Such a study is valuable since presenting future researchers with the basic concepts of this arena. Therefore, this study may contribute to awareness of researchers, so may give acceleration to the number of studies conducted about personal epistemology.
