Project Title: There is considerable written about the personal epistemology and that there is a link between our belief systems and teaching and learning is widely accepted. However, to date there has been little investigation into the relationship between commencing students' beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning, their choice of learning strategy, intention to persist and academic performance. This research aims to explore the epistemological beliefs of first year students studying within the discipline of Science at a regional Australian university. It will investigate the connections between personal epistemology and achievement by identifying and describing the relationship between commencing Science students' epistemological beliefs and their motivation to learn, learning strategies, self regulation, intention to persist and academic performance. The implications of these findings for the way in which commencing Science students' are introduced to academic culture and disciplinary epistemology will be considered.
