- Abstract
A case study is presented in which the epistemic aspects of three students' productions during problem solving are analyzed. These students address a non-instructional Mechanics problem. The theoretical framework adopted is that of Cognitive Resources, which assumes that students' cognitive activities are epistemicaly framed via the activation of epistemic resources. The analysis shows that students' epistemic frames can account for certain characteristics of their reasonings. Furthermore, the epistemic analysis offered gives insight into how they are able to carry out a metacognitive analysis on their own reasoning. Regarding the characteristics in these students personal epistemologies, these high-school students exhibit an epistemic sophistication compared to that of more advanced university students reported in the literature.
