8-2 The Challenging of Underachievers’ Epistemological Beliefs: the Approach of Bibliotherapy
The purpose of this study was to design a 9-week intervention program by using the bibliotherapy to change students' epistemological beliefs in order to improve their intrinsic motivation. The close relationship between students' epistemological beliefs and their learning was known from the literature review. However, most studies in this field were conducted using the correlational methods. Therefore, the present study used a quasi experimental design to change students' beliefs. The 10th grade senior high underachieved students were challenged through bibliotherapy. It is hoped that through this study, we have better understanding about adolescence and thus we can provide more constructive advice for teachers to achieve quality education. In this
study, a Chinese version of SEQ was developed, and the coefficients of reliability and validity were also reported.
