+<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Separate and Connected Ways of Knowing</B></P>\r
+\r
+<p>This page explains a theory that may help you to look at human interactions \r
+ in a new way. It describes two different ways that we can evaluate and learn \r
+ about the things we see and hear - called separate and connected ways \r
+ of knowing.</p>\r
+<p>Although each of us may use these two methods in different amounts at different \r
+ times, it may be useful to imagine two people as examples, one who is a mostly \r
+ separate knower (Jim) and the other a mostly connected knower (Mary).</p>\r
+<ul>\r
+ <li>Jim likes to remain as 'objective' as possible without including his feelings \r
+ and emotions. When in a discussion with other people who may have different \r
+ ideas, he likes to defend his own ideas, using logic to find holes in his \r
+ opponent's ideas. He is critical of new ideas unless they are proven facts \r
+ from reputable sources such as textbooks, respected teachers or his own direct \r
+ experience. Jim is a very <strong>separate knower</strong>.<br>\r
+ </li>\r
+ <li>Mary is more sensitive to other people. She is skilled at empathy and tends \r
+ to listen and ask questions until she feels she can connect and "understand \r
+ things from their point of view". She learns by trying to share the experiences \r
+ that led to the knowledge she finds in other people. When talking to others, \r
+ she avoids confrontation and will often try to help the other person if she \r
+ can see a way to do so, using logical suggestions. Mary is a very <strong>connected \r
+ knower</strong>.</li>\r
+</ul>\r
+<p>Did you notice in these examples that the separate knower is male and the connected \r
+ knower is female? Some studies have shown that statistically this tends to be \r
+ the case, however individual people can be anywhere in the spectrum between \r
+ these two extremes. </p>\r
+<p>For a collaborative and effective group of learners it may be best if everyone \r
+ were able to use BOTH ways of knowing.</p>\r
+<p>In a particular situation like an online forum, a single post by a person may \r
+ exhibit either of these characteristics, or even both. Someone who is generally \r
+ very connected may post a very separate-sounding message, and vice versa. The \r
+ purpose of rating each post using this scale is to:</p>\r
+<blockquote>\r
+ <p>a) help you think about these issues when reading other people's posts<br>\r
+ b) provide feedback to each author on how they are being seen by others</p>\r
+</blockquote>\r
+<p>The results are not used towards student assessment in any way, they are just \r
+ to help improve communication and learning.</p>\r
+<hr>\r
+<p><br>\r
+ In case you're interested, here are some references to papers by the authors \r
+ who originally developed these ideas:</p>\r
