Haj, R., Tsybulsky, D. Epistemic emotions as markers and mechanisms in the integration of scientific knowledge through the SSI-DC learning pathway. Annual International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Education 2026. Western Galilee College, Israel, May 2026. Oral presentation.
Her presentation focused on the role of epistemic emotions in students’ learning processes within a Socio-Scientific Issues through Digital Curation (SSI-DC) learning pathway.
The study conceptualizes epistemic emotions as both markers of uncertainty, cognitive conflict, and knowledge gaps, and mechanisms that support exploration, evaluation of information, argumentation, and knowledge construction. By examining students’ experiences across different phases of SSI learning, the research highlights the dynamic ways in which emotions accompany and support the integration of scientific knowledge.
This work contributes to the growing body of research on emotions in science education and provides new insights into the role of epistemic emotions in technology-enhanced learning environments.
