In the TOK class we have been exploring the knowledge frameworks. In the group I worked with we were looking into the Human Sciences aspect.
The ‘knowledge framework’ is designed to help students explore, discuss, and form an understanding of each of the eight areas of knowledge. It is designed to present various consideration points that that can then be used to compare and contrast the different areas of knowledge, as well as tying them to the ways of knowing.

When comparing the various areas of knowledge, we discovered that the natural sciences and history were generally similar to the methodology of the Human Sciences. Where extensive research and questionnaires are used as methods of gaining knowledge, with reference to many experiments which are also repeated for more accuracy.
Some experiments were used to prove theories was the main similarity we identified in the Natural Sciences group. The dissimilarity was the fact that the focus on the Natural Science was different in comparison to Human Sciences. The names of the area of knowledge was a big giveaway. Furthermore, I thought that human sciences often required a (possibly emotional) interaction with an audiences to gain knowledge.
We identified Math as an area of knowledge that fits into most of the areas of knowledge. For example, in my chemistry class or chemistry as an area of knowledge - we use numbers to gain information about moles and other aspects of stoichiometry.
Overall, the knowledge framework was an optimum way to compare and contrast the various areas of knowledge. The questions in each respective section enabled us to really study the A.O.K designated to us. Furthermore it gave a different perspective when comparing A.O.Ks.
