The Knowledge Vee Heuristic

The Knowledge Vee (or Gowin's Vee heuristic) is a metacognitive tool and model that demonstrates 12 epistemological elements operating in the construction or analysis of knowledge. All elements interact with one another, and while the process of knowledge construction can be initiated from any element, it most commonly begins with a focus question about specific events or objects of interest.
