چکیده

شواهد پژوهشی بر اهمیت عقاید زبان آموزان در فرآیند و بازده فراگیری دلالت دارد. با این حال، پژوهش پیرامون عقاید معرفت شناختی تکاملی مختص فراگیری زبان دوم، که دربرگیرنده عقاید مرتبط با ثبات، سادگی، منبع و توجیه دانش زبان دوم است، بسیار محدود است. مطالعه حاضربا دو هدف ساخت و رواسازی پرسشنامه معرفت شناسی تکاملی مختص فراگیری زبان دوم و بررسی ارتباط عقاید معرفت شناختی عمومی و مختص فراگیری زبان دوم طراحی گردید. 68 عقیده-گویه پیرامون 17 مضمون مستخرج از مصاحبه با زبان آموزان با ویژگی های متفاوت در یک مطالعه ی کیفی اولیه (4 عقیده-گویه تکاملی شامل 4 نقطه دانایی مطلق، موقت، مستقل، و بافتارمند، در ارتباط با هر یک از مضامین) طرح و مورد مطالعه آزمایشی قرار گرفت. تحلیل عاملی دوسطحی و راه حل اشمید-لیمن روی داده های بدست آمده از 571 زبان آموز روایی سازه ای پرسشنامه را نشان داد. تحلیل به استخراج 8 عامل اولیه شامل عقیده-گویه های مرتبط با دانش و دانستن زبان دوم درهر یک از 4 نقطه تکاملی مذکور، و 4 عامل ثانویه شامل عقیده گویه های مرتبط با 4 نقطه تکاملی منجر شد. در نهایت، تحلیل آماری، ارتباط معنادار، اما نه قوی، میان عقاید معرفت شناختی عمومی و معرفت شناسی مختص فراگیری زبان دوم (مبتنی بر پرسشنامه رواسازی شده در این مطالعه) بر اساس داده های بدست آمده از 127 زبان آموز را نشان داد. یافته ها در ارتباط با الگوهای موجود معرفت شناسی  و نظریه های فراگیری زبان دوم مورد مباحثه قرار می گیرد.
