Applying learning to life: a theoretical framework in context.(psychologist Rachel Lauer's 'Roots of Knowing')

Psychologist Rachel Lauer's method of teaching and learning, called 'Roots of Knowing' (ROK), discusses what people do to develop or grow in consciousness. She identifies four major processes that people go through everyday which form the basis of knowing: perceiving, evaluating, deciding, and acting. Lauer's educational framework integrates well-established concepts from the fields of psychology, philosophy and education into a practical method which can be used by any person to apply theoretical knowledge to everyday living.
