CONCERN (PURPOSE)CONCEPTION (OPERATION)CONSEQUENCE (EFFECT)
Consider not-yetness as a full fledged variable in the landscape of competencesEquip scholars with philosophical knowledge to help them address not-yetnessDevelop the capacity to trace back any practice to a given paradigm and be able to identify it
Accept to address uncertainty and the future as “unapproachable” as Open ScholarsReflect about Openness, Education, Research, Community in worldwide philosophiesDevelop competences to question reality at the level of paradigm and act with responsibility and creativity
Locate scholarly activities in the non-enclosed, Medieval understanding of Open (vs legal right) and unenclosed outdoor space, that later became CommonsUnderstand worldwide networked and connected conceptions of knowledge considering specificities across knowledge systemsDevelop competences to being-with, to produce through judicious connection to foster collective agency and develop local common goods.

ACTIVITY SCHEMESOPERATIVE INVARIANTSINFERENCES AND STRATEGIESRULES OF ACTIONANTICIPATIONSARTEFACTS
WHAT THE SUBJECT HOLDS FOR TRUEWHAT THE SUBJECT HOLDS FOR RELEVANT
Schemes listed below are part of a competence that is already existing or that needs to be developed.Operative invariants indicate what the subject (rightly or wrongly, depending on his level of expertise) considers to be true and relevant, and what the key concepts are that are referred to when he is faced with a given task in a given context. It includes everything he needs to identify the elements and their relationships that are involved in the implementation of the scheme.This expresses the adaptation of the scheme to the specific characteristics of the situation and the task. What is noted are the parameters that determine the choice of rules of actions (not the calculations per se).They represent the part of the scheme that responds to the stimulus received. They allow the scheme’s implementation by producing effects on the task and situation.Considering the overall aim pursued, anticipations refer to the subject’s expectations in terms of the effects he wants to achieve through the implementation of the rules of action.Artefacts noted here are those mentioned that translate the actual implementation of the scheme.
