The study of individual beliefs about knowledge and knowing has engaged researchers from a variety of fields, with differing terminology, research paradigms, and areas of interest.
Few other topics that lie at the intersection of education and psychology are likely to span so wide a range of intellectual territory, or to excite the interest of individuals with such varied professional training.
In addition, both theory building and empirical research in this field have grown dramatically in the past decade.
