EasyChair Preprint 12976

4 pagesDate: April 9, 2024

Abstract

A sample of freshmen undergraduates (n = 127) received an intervention to promote the critical evaluation of Internet sources in one of two versions: asymmetric (expert instructor) or symmetric (peer mentor). Both groups outperformed a control group (no intervention). Additionally, the symmetric modality showed greater gains and more intense epistemic emotions than its asymmetric counterpart.

Keyphrases: Peer mentor, epistemic emotions, intervention, source evaluation, teaching modality
