Today we completed group presentations on six
Areas of Knowledge. We examined the AoKs through a
knowledge framework: a way of unpacking the AoKs that provides a vocabulary for their examination. We explored two of five components in the knowledge framework:
1) Scope, Motivation, and Applications:
- the range of the specific AoK within the totality of human knowledge and how that knowledge is used.
2) Methodology:
- the specific methods or procedures used in an AoK, and the assumptions that underlie those methods
Later this week we will complete a lab assignment building on what we have learned. In preparation, click on the AoK you presented below, look over the knowledge questions outlined for each of the five knowledge framework components. Are you still satisfied with the summary you provided to the group? Click on the link for a second AoK: in the lab, you will complete a chart for two AoKs in an effort to draw comparisons.
