Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to critically review theory and research on relevant aspects of the measurement of epistemic cognition, and to highlight the changes that have occurred in this area of investigation in the last decades. To deal with measurement implies addressing theoretical issues, as measurement is strictly related to theory. The chapter first introduces the classic approaches to the study of epistemic cognition. Each approach is characterized in terms of construct definition and related measurement. It will be evident that the construct has been conceived in different ways, and consequently has also been measured through different instruments. These are critically reviewed to highlight potentials and limitations. The chapter then introduces more recent approaches that have led to articulating and expanding the construct, as well as to outlining how new approaches to measurement may overcome the limitations of the instruments most commonly used. The issues of the specific level at which to measure epistemic cognition, and the cultural aspects that need to be considered are also presented because of their implications for measurement. Finally, current trends are presented and the features of proposed measures are outlined. The chapter ends with overall implications for theory, research, and practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
