Students' Epistemologies and Academic Experiences: Implications for Pedagogy.

Magolda, Marcia B. Baxter

Review of Higher Education, v15 n3 p265-87 Spr 1992

Yearly interviews investigated 101 college students' perceptions of their experiences throughout the 4 years of college as they related to 3 different epistemologies ranging from unquestioned acceptance of knowledge to self-authored knowledge and to gender differences within these epistemologies. Results suggest teaching strategies and evaluation techniques that connect with students' varying epistemologies. (Author/MSE)
