The Framework

Oliver Ding
I use the following framework as an epistemological framework for curating my learning outcome and reflecting my work experiences. As a lifelong thinker, I was satisfied with this practical framework as an outcome in the middle of 2017. ​

The above diagram displays four thematic spaces which refer to four ways of connecting THEORY and PRACTICE.
The “Architecture” thematic space connects my work experiences in Information Architecture and my learning of cognitive science.
The “Relevance” thematic space connects my work experiences in advertising/media/marketing and my learning of semiotics/communication study/culture study.
The “Opportunity” thematic space connects my life experience in my kids’ childhood and my learning of ecological psychology’s Affordance theory and my own work the Ecological Practice approach which was born in 2018.
The “Activity” thematic space connects my work experience with various domains and my learning of Activity Theory.

The “Life” Thematic Space

A thematic space is a large cognitive container, if we apply a thematic space to understand something, we can have many choices. We can generate a Practical Perspective for a particular thing.
By adopting the above framework, I used it to generate four Practical Perspectives of the “Life” thematic space.
Architecture > Life Patterns
Relevance > Life Themes
Activity > Life Performance
Opportunity > Life Discovery

The “Strategy” Thematic Space

Following the same approach, I developed four Practical Perspectives for understanding the “Strategy” Thematic Space.
Architecture > Strategic Thinking
Relevance > Strategic Discourse
Activity > Strategic Acting
Opportunity > Strategic Awareness
Once we have these Practical Perspectives, we can start the “Approach — Application” curating activity.
