Paper Abstract:
|
The paper focuses on the cognitive contribution of visual experiences to learning in a higher education setting. Specifically, it examines whether the use of students imagination and their visual expression contributes to the genesis of the students epistemological beliefs. The paper reports on a qualitative study in an educational psychology course within a pre-service teacher education program. By reflecting on the student-created mixed- and multi-media projects, it offers a discussion of the role of the students imagination in the construction of meanings associated with beliefs about knowledge and learning. |
