SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Map the epistemic structure of a subject to determine knowledge types and inform curriculum sequencing. Use when designing courses, restructuring programmes, or analysing knowledge architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnoses epistemic architecture using hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional lenses to determine how knowledge is organized.
  • Produces knowledge-architecture maps for each type, including prerequisite chains, hubs and lenses, and generative dispositional progression descriptors.
  • Aligns with GreenComp, EntreComp, and LifeComp to articulate dispositional development and provides actionable implications for teaching, assessment, and AI tutoring.

Quick Start

Provide the curriculum input (type, domain, learner stage, and goals) to generate a complete knowledge-architecture analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze the epistemic architecture of a curriculum?

To analyze curriculum epistemic architecture, you diagnose knowledge organization using hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional knowledge types. This process maps prerequisite chains and generative progression to determine optimal curriculum sequencing and structure.

What is the best way to map knowledge types for curriculum design?

Mapping knowledge types for curriculum design involves classifying subject content into hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional structures. This reveals prerequisite chains and knowledge hubs, directly informing course sequencing and restructuring decisions.

How do I structure curriculum assessment using Bernstein's knowledge types?

Structuring curriculum assessment using Bernstein's knowledge types requires aligning evaluation methods with hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional structures. This generates actionable assessment implications tailored to the specific epistemic architecture of the subject.

Can I use curriculum architecture analysis for dispositional learning frameworks?

Yes, curriculum architecture analysis supports dispositional learning by mapping generative progression descriptors. It aligns with frameworks like GreenComp, EntreComp, and LifeComp to articulate and structure dispositional development across learning stages.

Does this curriculum mapping approach work for mixed-architecture subjects?

Yes, this curriculum mapping approach explicitly handles mixed-architecture subjects. It produces mixed-architecture notes that identify how hierarchical, horizontal, and dispositional knowledge types interact within a single curriculum domain.

How do I generate teaching implications from a curriculum knowledge map?

Generating teaching implications from a curriculum knowledge map involves applying the diagnosed epistemic architecture to specific learning goals and learner stages. This yields actionable strategies for teaching, assessment, and AI tutoring integration.
