Abstract
Eduquer les futurs citoyens a la science requiert de former les enseignants a la didactique et a l’epistemologie des sciences, de maniere a faire evoluer leurs conceptions sur la science, l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des sciences (conceptions epistemiques en lien avec les sciences). Ces conceptions sont objet du champ de recherche de l’epistemologie personnelle, d’origine nord-americaine, ou les publications sont majoritairement en langue anglaise. En France, le besoin d’outils d’evaluation des conceptions epistemiques en lien avec les sciences est croissant, et pourtant il n’existe pas d’instrument psychometrique proprement valide en francais. Ici nous rapportons la mise au point d’un tel outil, le Questionnaire mesurant les Conceptions Epistemique en lien avec les Sciences (QCES). Une analyse factorielle nous a permis d’identifier des sous-echelles de Likert, de consistance interne satisfaisante. Nous evaluons leur capacite a discriminer les conceptions epistemiques de differentes populations d’etudiants, et a mesurer leur evolution apres une formation a l’epistemologie et/ou la didactique des sciences. Nos resultats, conformes a nos hypotheses de depart, montrent une efficacite psychometrique du QCES.

Dimensionality and Disciplinary Differences in Personal Epistemology.

TL;DR: Investigating the dimensionality of personal epistemology as hypothesized in a recent review of the literature and the nature of disciplinary differences suggests that there is an underlying dimensionality to epistemological theories that cuts across disciplinary domains, but that students, at least by the 1st year of college, discriminate as to how these theories differ by discipline.
