WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Constructivist Epistemological Beliefs Scale (CEAS) Test

beliefs

This self-report measure is designed to assess individual differences in beliefs about the nature of knowledge, with an emphasis on constructivist perspectives. The Constructivist Epistemological Beliefs Scale (CEAS) was developed by M. J. Schommer-Aikins and is intended for brief administration in research or applied psychological settings.

The instrument consists of 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents rate their agreement with statements reflecting views about knowledge as context-dependent and shaped by interpretation and social-linguistic processes; higher scores generally indicate stronger endorsement of constructivist epistemological beliefs. The Constructivist Epistemological Beliefs Scale (CEAS) may be used to support descriptive profiling of epistemic beliefs and to examine associations with learning, reasoning, or related psychological and educational constructs.
