      abstract = {Epistemological beliefsi.e. beliefs on the nature of  knowledge, its limits, sources, and justificationplay an  important role both in everyday life and in learning  processes. This book comprises several studies dealing with  such beliefs in the domain of mathematics; amongst others a  qualitative interview study, and quantitative studies for  which a new questionnaire has been developed. In this new  instrument, belief position (e.g. "mathematical knowledge  is certain" vs. "uncertain" and belief argumentation (the  way those positions are justified) are differentiated.  Additionally, a test for mathematical critical thinking has  been designed. The results show significant correlations  between sophisticated belief argumentations and high scores  in the critical thinking test, but no correlations  regarding belief positions. Der Autor Dr. Benjamin Rott is  Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of  Cologne. His research focuses on mathematical problem  solving, beliefs, and giftedness. The present work was  written as a postdoctoral thesis (Habilitation) at the  University of Education Freiburg.},
