Course Description:

'' The Gateway Workshop focused a good deal on the importance of Knowledge Claim Evaluation (KCE), sometimes called Error Elimination, or Killing our Worst Ideas. KCE was characterized as the sub-process leading to the differentiation of knowledge and information, knowledge processing and information processing, and ultimately Knowledge Management and Information Management.

This Workshop goes much more deeply into this critical step within creative learning (or knowledge production, or knowledge making, or knowledge discovery, etc.) of killing your worst ideas. Creative learning begins with problems, and then proceeds deliberately with attempts to acquire or create solutions to them. The alternative decision models produced during creative learning are not immediately used in practical action and exposed to experience. Instead, they’re evaluated in the step called KCE, error elimination, or killing your worst ideas. While the step of creating alternative decision models is positive in character, killing your worst ideas is ’negative’ in its orientation. Its purpose is to test alternative decision models as severely as possible and to try our best to refute each of them. Our objective in doing this is to ensure that the alternative that survives comparison is the best decision model we’ve been able to create, and the one it makes sense to rely on when we have to decide.

So, how do you go about killing your worst ideas? You do it through fair critical comparison. Fair critical comparison is a distinctly neo-Darwinian process that focuses on comparing and selecting among competing ideas, and self-organization of distributed critical activities, around the problems being addressed by creative learning. It is the way you should apply criticism and testing in both killing your worst ideas and severely testing the strength of your best ones. This workshop teaches the method of fair critical comparison for killing your worst ideas and leaving your best ones standing. It covers:

The Idea of Fair Critical Comparison;

Fair Critical Comparison (FCC) Requirements

Direct Comparative KCE Criteria for FCC

Combining Comparative Evaluation Criteria in KCE

Two Formal Approaches to Measuring “Truthlikeness�

An AHP-based ratio scaling approach

A Fuzzy Measurement Model Approach to "Truthlikeness"

Other Approaches to Combining Criterion Attributes of "truthlikeness" and KM Knowledge Production
