Epistemic insight
This sandbox is in the article namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the {{User sandbox}} template. Epistemic Insight Epistemic insight means 'knowledge about knowledge' and in particular, knowledge about disciplines and how they interact [1] [2]
The term was introduced into the education context to help teachers, tutors and others to encourage students to reflect on the nature of knowledge across subject boundaries as well as within them. There is a particular focus on understanding the nature of science within a multidisciplinary arena - or in other words - within the range of disciplines that students study [3]
Tools for teaching epistemic insight include the 'Discipline Wheel' An example of a Discipline Wheel - where a question can be put into the middle of the wheel and students can then consider how the question is interpreted and investigated through the lenses of different disciplines [4]
For the most part, articles discussing epistemic insight have focused on surveys, interviews and pedagogies in schools [5][6][7] and teacher education [8]
Pedagogies for nurturing epistemic insight have also been developed for use in higher education [9]
