Bloom's Taxonomy describes the stages of the #learning process of a concept. How do these stages correspond to changes in a #PKM (Personal Knowledge Management)?
🧵

The 1st stage is recall or root learning.
Eg the law of conservation of energy.
PKM: a single note, contents perhaps copy pasted from class or the internet
🧵

In the 2nd stage, there is some understanding: ability to paraphrase and relate to other concepts.
Eg. In mechanics the total of potential and kinetic energies remains constant. Energy conversion. Relations to mass, gravity, velocity etc.
PKM: more notes and links between them.🧵

The 3rd stage is the ability to apply the concept.
Eg. Student can calculate velocity from the initial height or vice versa in different contexts.
PKM: quick lookup of notes regarding formulas
🧵

In the 4th stage, there are more relations and concepts
Eg. Different forms of energy (friction, steam, electric, chemical, etc), units of measurement, and many examples of energy conversions.
PKM More notes and organized by folders, links and tags. May have several MOCs
🧵

In the 5th stage, Evaluation, the student is able to see the boundaries where the concept is valid.
Eg. Conservation law is valid for closed systems, systems where mass is constant.
PKM: By now the PKM is pretty complete. Concepts built from atomic concepts
🧵

MOCs include different pathways offering different views of the system. E.g. MOC for one with/without using Calculus, MOC for Feynman-style teaching. MOC for engineering POV. An MOC allows making different use cases for the same PKM organization.
🧵

The 6th stage is called Create, produce new and original work
Eg. New ways of energy conversion, like ocean waves to electricity, forms of energy without the assumption of mass preservation (nuclear), generalizations to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations,
🧵

mathematical abstractions of the conservation law as invariants of group symmetries, using the energy model as mental model and applying it using analogical reasoning to macroeconomics, sociology or everyday life, allowing rich metaphors
🧵

PKM: The PKM now have more domains in addition to physics. This is the real meat in @the_LYT_way. Current PKMs still have shortcomings at this stage. Ideally, AI could assist in idea generation, link suggestions, hypothetical questions, counterfactuals and incubation of ideas. 🧵

Personally, I think this stage is the most fun in PKM. It is man-machine cooperation, the digital brain as an augmentation for #creativity of the natural brain. The capturing, organizing, and retrieving notes are boring by comparison to "connecting the dots" 🔚

After writing the above thread, I realize, that, deep understanding of a concept involved understanding it's relations to other concepts. The idea of an atomic concept is illusionary
