Evaluation of Epistemic Beliefs Self-Report Questionnaires in the Czech Middle School History Classroom
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Epistemic beliefs are gaining increasing importance in social science education in Czechia. Recent literature has demonstrated fi ndings linking epistemic beliefs with various academic skills, including achievement and reading comprehension. Th e present study aims to explore the epistemic beliefs of adolescents specifi c to the domain of history. Th e study reviews research literature on ontological changes in students epistemic beliefs and their reasoning within the domain of history since the 1950s, with a particular focus on various models and measurement. Th e empirical part of the study investigates adapted self-report questionnaires on the epistemic beliefs of adolescents in Czech history classes in the upper grades of middle school. In the fi rst step, the selected questionnaireswere back-translated and refi ned by iterative sets of cognitive interviews. Th e fi nalised sets of items were administered in seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade classes (N = 303) in May and June 2021. Th e confi rmatory factor analysis and follow-up correlational analysis demonstrated various degreesof support for the dimensions of the Epistemic and Ontological Cognition Questionnaire, for thedimension of Value of Integration Information, and for the dimension of Historical Methodology inGenerating Historical Knowledge. Reading comprehension correlated positively with epistemic beliefdimensions related to epistemic criteria of justifi cation by multiple sources, the value of integrationinformation, and historical methodology. Academic achievement in the form of the end-of-grademarks obtained in the subjects of history and Czech language did not show a consistent relationshipwith the epistemic beliefs. Th e potential practical and research uses of the self-report questionnairesthat were investigated in regular classroom instructions are discussed.
