The Handbook of Epistemic Cognition brings together leading work
from across disciplines, to provide a comprehensive overview of an
increasingly important topic: how people acquire, understand,
justify, change, and use knowledge in formal and informal contexts.
Research into inquiry, understanding, and discovery within academic
disciplines has progressed from general models of conceptual change
to a focus upon the learning trajectories that lead to expert-like
conceptualizations, skills, and performance. Outside of academic
domains, issues of who and what to believe, and how to integrate
multiple sources of information into coherent and useful knowledge,
have arisen as primary challenges of the 21st century. In six
sections, scholars write within and across fields to focus and
advance the role of epistemic cognition in education. With special
attention to how researchers across disciplines can communicate and
collaborate more effectively, this book will be an invaluable
resource for anyone interested in the future of knowledge and
knowing. Dr. Jeffrey A. Greene is an associate professor of
Learning Sciences and Psychological Studies in the School of
Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr.
William A. Sandoval is a professor in the division of Urban
Schooling at the UCLA Graduate School of Education &
Information Studies. Dr. Ivar Braten is a professor of Educational
Psychology at the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University
of Oslo, Norway.
