Exploring a Process View of Students' Knowledge about the Nature of Science.
Hogan, Kathleen
Science Education, v84 n1 p51-70 Jan 2000
Introduces the ideas of "distal" knowledge of the nature of science and "proximal" knowledge of the nature of science. Suggests that viewing these two kinds of knowledge structures within modern information processing frameworks that delineate roles of epistemological and metacognitive knowledge in learning should guide future research. (Contains 115 references.) (Author/WRM)
