What kind of habitat do I provide for my frog or toad? You should always try to simulate your frog or toad's natural outdoor habitat. In general, your vivarium should include: 1) enough room for the frog or toad to move/hop/crawl about, 2) pebbles or turf on the bottom of the vivarium, 3) a dish of unchlorinated water for the frog or toad to sit in, 4) a hollow log, sticks, or rocks that provide a hiding place, and 5) an ample food supply, such as crickets. **You can buy crickets and de-chlorination drops at your local petstore. Check out Frogland for more information about pet frog care.

¼Ò¦¡1. The Perry Scheme (Perry)
¡P "learners cycle through three increasingly complex encounters with diversity in the form of multiples: ¡P multiple opinions about a given subjects or issue ¡P multiple contexts/perspectives from which to understand or analyze issues or arguments ¡P multiple commitments through which one defines his or her values and identity. ¡P As learners confront these level of multiplicity, their meaning making shifts and evolves in predictable ways "(Moore, 2002, p. 22).

¼Ò¦¡3.Epistemological Reflection Model (Baxter Magolda)"Baxter Magolda's definition of epistemology is focused on the nature of learning as situated in the college classroom context and less on assumptions about knowledge"(Hofer, & Pintrich, 1997, p. 98).
¡P Assumptions Epistemic assumptions and the structures they constitute are socially constructed: "The meaning we make of our experiences depends partially on our initial epistemic assumptions, partially on the nature of dissonance we experience when we encounter other with different assumptions, and partially on the context in which the dissonance occurs" context bounded stories: "The meaning they make of their experience is grounded in the context of their epistemic assumptions and particular experiences" (Magolda, 2002, p. 91)

¼Ò¦¡4. Reflective Judgment (King and kitchener)"Reflective judgment delineates the development of the process of knowing and reasoning"(Hofer, 2001, p. 358).
this model emphasizes on the intellectual tasks involved in open ended problem solving rather than closed-ended, the attention to epistemic assumptions, and the articulation of stages of development ¡P Seven stage model (Three levels)
(King and kitchener, 2002, p. 41-42).
¡P Educational implications ¨ Show respect for students' assumptions, regardless of the developmental stage they exhibit. ¨ Discuss controversial, ill structured issues with students throughout their educational activities, and make available resources that show the factual basis and lines of reasoning for several perspectives. ¨ Crate many opportunities for students to analyze others' points of view for their evidentiary adequacy and to develop and defend their own points of view about controversial issues. ¨ Teach students strategies for systematically gathering data, assessing the relevance of the data, evaluating data sources, and making interpretive judgments based on the available data. ¨ Give students frequent feedback, and provide both cognitive and emotional support for their efforts. ¨ Help students explicitly address issues of uncertainty in judgment making and to examine their assumptions about knowledge and how it is gained. ¨ Encourage students to practice their reasoning skills in many settings to gain practice and confidence applying their thinking skills.

¡P System of beliefs and Learning: Epistemology exists in the form of beliefs, and learning is influenced by the epistemological beliefs that individuals hold
learning outcome: academic performance
¡P Resources: Epistemology is either theory-like or exists as more fine grained epistemological resources, and in the process of learning such theories and resources are activated and engaged in way s that are context dependent.
learning outcome: knowledge construction
(¤@)¡Bª¾Ãѵo®i(Epistemological development)¡P Whether higher levels of education are associated with higher stages of epistemological development and what aspects of education foster this process of development (Hofer, 2002, p. 368). ¡P Higher educational attainment is correlated with higher stages of reflective judgment, with just under a half-stage growth occurring on average during the college years (King and Kitchener, 1994). ¡P College has some small but measurable impact on epistemological development and that advanced epistemological thinking may occur infrequently in the U.S. adult population, the exception being those with graduate education.
(¤G)¡Bª¾ÃÑ«H©À(Epistemological Beliefs)¡P Relation between students' epistemological beliefs and their information processing strategies ( Ryan, 1984), cognitive processing strategies (Kardash and Howell, 2000), the interpretation of evidence on controversial issues (Kardash and Scholes, 1996). ¡P Students with more empiricist beliefs were more likely than constructivists to employ rote-like learning strategies (Tsai, 1998).
