- Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationships between 9th grade students' epistemological beliefs and conceptions of learning in different science domains (physics, chemistry, biology). A total of 462 students (male=247, female=215) participated in the study. Data were collected with the help of the questionnaires that measure students' epistemological beliefs and conceptions of learning. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationships between students' epistemological beliefs and conceptions of learning in different science domains. The results revealed that there were positive and moderate relationships between students' epistemological beliefs in "justification" and "development" dimensions and their higher-level conceptions of learning. However, these beliefs were weakly correlated or not correlated to the students' lower-level conceptions of learning. Similarly, students' epistemological beliefs in "source" and "certainty" dimensions were weakly associated or not associated with their conceptions of learning.
