Abstract | Research about epistemological beliefs and learning strategies is a steadily growing area in educational psychology and in the field of education. Subjects in most of the published studies are adults or teenagers, only a few studies deal with children or even elementary school children. Some experts doubt if children have epistemological beliefs, others question if they have the competence to talk about abstract concepts like beliefs about knowledge and knowing or learning strategies. In addition measurement issues are far from being resolved. In our interview study we look at the understanding of questionnaire items concerning epistemological beliefs and learning strategies. Do elementary school children get the meaning of standardized items used in well-known questionnaires? One important result of our study is that children are able to verbalize their thoughts about epistemological beliefs and learning strategies. Merits and shortcomings of measurements are discussed in the light of our findings. We address developmental prerequisites and methodological problems concerning research in this age group. Finally we discuss the relevance of different measurements for future research with young children. |
