DESCRIPTION:This presentation will suggest that an underaddressed factor i
 n education is a philosophical (as opposed to sociological) conceptualisat
 ion of 'knowledge' - something that moves beyond a Justified [True?] Belie
 f. This has implications for individuals with regard to the impact of thei
 r epistemic beliefs on actions such as information retrieval - and it is t
 hat which my empirical work focuses on. It also matters for curriculum and
  assessment policy - how we understand when a student is 'creditworthy' fo
 r a knowledge token\, has implications for how we teach and assess them\, 
 and how we account for situated contexts. I will present one model of mind
  and knowledge\, and its implications for assessment. I will also discuss 
 implications for research in the area\, using my own work as an example.\n
