Epistemological Development in Graduate and Professional Education.
Magolda, Marcia B. Baxter
Review of Higher Education, v19 n3 p283-304 Spr 1996
A study investigated graduate and professional educational experiences that promote contextual knowing. Seventy students described these experiences as opportunities to struggle with ideas and formulate their own opinions, connect their beliefs to their own lives, use experiences in the learning process, engage in learning as equal partners with teachers, and exchange perspectives with diverse peers to develop belief systems.
