research overview |
I'm interested in epistemic beliefs - beliefs about the source, structure, justification
and stability of knowledge - and their relationship to actions by individuals and
organisations.
On the latter, I wrote my MA thesis in philosophy of education on the implications
of one perspective on mind (the Extended Mind thesis) for our understanding of knowledge
and its assessment. There I focussed particularly on the use of external tools, and
an experiment in Denmark which allowed students access to the internet during their
exams (which to my knowledge is still ongoing) and the different notion of 'knowledge'
implicated in that sort of system from the UK system. There I was supervised by the
Institute of Education's/London Knowledge Lab's Jan Derry http://www.lkl.ac.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=86
My MPhil explored these beliefs in action, looking at how children talk about their
information needs when engaged in collaborative information retrieval activities in
the classroom, and finding that these 'epistemic beliefs in action' were - unsurprisingly
- related to the quality of information they retrieved. This work also found that
their use of 'exploratory talk' - talk in which reasons are explained, ideas respected,
etc. - was related to search success. This work was supervised by Neil Mercer at Cambridge
http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/people/staff/mercer/.
My PhD research will explore these beliefs in the context of mapping user epistemic
beliefs as linked to their information retrieval behaviours, and working to scaffold
the development of these beliefs through the use of learning analytics and collaborative
platforms. I will track a group of students engaged in a collaborative subject-based
task which requires sourcing and information retrieval. In contrast to more traditional
quantitative cognitivist approaches, my focus will be on behaviours in action, and
the discursive properties of epistemic acts “to do”, rather than attempting to uncover
underlying “belief” structures. I'm now being supervised by KMI's Simon Buckingham
Shum and CREET's Karen Littleton.

was particularly associated with improved results. Certainly while my current work
is focussed more on older students, my background in schools means I'm particularly
interested in pushing at the boundaries of assessment at all levels of education,&
addressing both the socio-technic,& philosophical (epistemological) issues around
possible new tasks and measures.</p> |
