title: Adolescents' conception of knowledge.
abstract: Since few investigations have addressed adolescents' conception of knowledge, a rationale is provided as to why it may be useful to more adequately explore how adolescents view knowledge. The few investigations which have explored these conceptions are reviewed, and three general approaches to the study of the subject are developed and briefly discussed.
