Every day in classrooms, teachers and students think about and with
text. Their beliefs about what text is, who created it, and how to
evaluate it are an influence, often a profoundly important one, on
how they use text. This book brings together research on
epistemology, belief systems, teacher beliefs, and text -- research
that is usually presented separately, and in different disciplines.
The editors illustrate what a cross-disciplinary body of work looks
like, what varied insights are possible, and when the central
concerns are beliefs and text.
Written by respected researchers in the fields of psychology and
education, the chapters are clustered thematically into three
sections:
* childrens' and adults' beliefs about text.
* beliefs about what should be taught and how particular content
should be taught and assessed in classrooms.
* commentary on knowing versus believing, on the literatures that
inform this body of work, and on belief systems.
The first to address this important topic in a single volume, this
book provides an essential synthesis of current research in an
active area of inquiry. The chapters are pieces framed in a time
and place with particular intentions -- one of those intentions is
that they separately and as a whole stimulate discussion about
beliefs and text.
