| dc.description.abstract | For this study, a questionnaire was developed to measure
epistemological beliefs on history and history education. The
purpose of this research was to test whether the designed
questionnaire is an accurate instrument for measuring
epistemic beliefs on history and history education amongst
secondary school students. Data for this study was collected at
two schools for secondary education in the district of Utrecht.
In total, 131 students from havo and vwo participated in this
study. Cognitive interviews served as an initial attempt to
validate the questionnaire and detect possible reasons for
misinterpretation of the statements. Exploratory factor analysis
suggested a three factor model underlying the questionnaire,
with a Cronbach’s alpha of .65 for the 19-item scale. | |
