Epistemology: The study of knowledge and knowledge creation
Most of the 19th and 20th Centuries:Dominated by Positivism and Logical Positivism:
Truth, once established, is eternal.
Developed in later half of 20th Century:Constructivism: Knowledge evolves over time.

Knowledge is built up from organized concepts and propositions
A Theory of Knowledge
![Page 4: The Nature of Knowledge and Knowledge Creation Joseph D. Novak Cornell University, Professor Emeritus Senior Research Scientist Institute for Human and](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649f0d5503460f94c209dd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Concept:
A perceived regularity or pattern in events or objects, or records of events or objects, designated by a label
A Theory of Knowledge

D. Bib Gowin, 1979
The Vee Heuristic was invented by D. Bob Gowin in
1977

Gowin’s Knowledge Vee showing the
12 elementsinvolved in
creatingnew knowledge

A Parade of Vees shows how knowledge evolves over time
![Page 11: The Nature of Knowledge and Knowledge Creation Joseph D. Novak Cornell University, Professor Emeritus Senior Research Scientist Institute for Human and](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649f0d5503460f94c209dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Vee heuristic can also be used as atool to represent interviewee’s knowledge
![Page 12: The Nature of Knowledge and Knowledge Creation Joseph D. Novak Cornell University, Professor Emeritus Senior Research Scientist Institute for Human and](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649f0d5503460f94c209dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The ideas represented in the left side and right side of the Vee
can be represented as concept maps.

Draw a Vee diagram to address the focus question:
How can we measure temperature using a thermometer?
