Abstract
Epistemic cognition in diversity education
In this video, which is Part 2 of a series of 3 videos about epistemic reflexivity for diversity education in teacher education, the focus is on how epistemic cognition informs the interdisciplinary framework. The concept of epistemic cognition is used in this video to explore how teacher educators think about knowledge, and about ways people gain knowledge. “Epistemic” means that individuals seek to make sure knowledge is accurate and justified. It is not just about learning information but interrogating and deep understanding of knowledge which is important in diversity education. When preservice teachers see knowledge and knowing as both personally constructed and evidenced based through critical reflection, they are more likely to be able to bring together different knowledge claims, experiences, biases, stereotypes etc in a way that supports teaching for diversity. This is epistemic cognition at work in diversity education. In this video the benefits of thinking deliberately about epistemic cognition are identified and form the focus for the final video in this series.
