Epistemological Beliefs and Mathematical Text Comprehension: Believing It Is Simple Does Not Make It So.
Schommer, Marlene; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n4 p435-43 Dec 1992
Epistemological beliefs and relationships between belief in simple knowledge and mathematical text comprehension were examined in 2 experiments involving 412 college students. Regression analyses indicate that the less students believe in simple knowledge the better their performance on a mastery test and the more accurate their assessment of comprehension. (SLD)
