PoS epistemology

PoS epistemology roots itself in three basic activities to produce knowledge and develop capacities, capabilities and abilities.

1) discussion

2) trust

3) collage

Inside them four factors are influencing and designing knowing and competence development behaviors.

a) cyborgic attunement

b) social affordances

c) intention

d) serendipity

Discussion

Learning takes place in authentic interactive places. Control is fluctuating, i.e. not equal but not authoritative either.

Trust

Learning has taken place, is executing and will happen in time. Control is equally shared, i.e. not experienced externally controlled.

Collage

Learning is embedded in products/activities of people. Control is personal, i.e. ones´own.

Cyborgic attunement

- physical-virtual-social-technological human entity (not any science fictional hype)

- simultaneous confluencing times, coexisting spaces and pervasive presences driven event

- metaphorically speaking ... pixelizing of time, space and social presence

- ongoing resonance of condencing and contracting adaptation (not memorizing, not constructing)

- continuous (speed and intensity varies) updating of cognitive (relevance of knowing in situ), emotional (recognition of feelings in situ) and intentional (focus of attending in situ)

- state of orientation (~resonance state, ~pixelization state)

- like a cloud of mist shaping itself according to the environment

- like a radio receiver tuning itself into right frequency

- like a digital image/movie pixelizing itself in accordance with the authentic situation

Social affordances

Trust as a social affordance for learning affords/generates attunement and social encountering of

- mutual acceptance

- reciprocal heterachical relationships

- mutual keeping of promised

- includes as a sort of premise an atmosphere of I/you/we can, know and do not need any control

- has a durative event character and is mainly time driven pedagogical constituent

Discussion as a social affordance for learning affords/generates attunement and social encountering of

- personal and shared owneship of contents at hand - experiences, insights, orientations (cognitive attunement and activity)

- space for approaching-joining-withdrawing -loops (emotional attunement and activity)

- giving-receiving -reciprocity (intentional attunement and activity)

- has a learning space character and is mainly space driven pedagogical constituent

Collage as a social affordance for learning (Collage = a situated re-inventing of the wheel) affords/generates attunement and social encountering of

- unique collections of knowings, feelings and overtakings (cognitive attunement and activity)

- artistic appearance being in a process of becoming and leaving behind (emotional attunement and activity)

- produsing and perceiving/understanding of produsages of all kinds of collections

- has a temporary object character and is mainly social presence driven pedagogical constituent

Serendipity and intention

Trusts, discussions and collages are embedded in serendipitous and intentional processes of being and doing.

Serendipity means that encounterings are fulfilled with possibilities, which become every now and then conscious, but still most of them stay unconscious to be realised some day or never. The trust, discussion and collage understood PoS -wise generate serendipities.

Intentionality means that we try to proceed within and execute purposeful encounterings to learn, benefit and enjoy from activities and people they include. They can be teaching/learning settings, business meetings and all kinds of mutual and multilateral entertainment gatherings. In Pos contexts intentional activity colored by trust, discussion and collage targets itself to known endeavors to understand and produce (produse) something new (for PoS authentificants).

Serendipity and intentionality are all the time in manifold interplay.
