Many learners are at this stage during the middle of their collegiate career. • Independent Knowing – Individuals view most knowledge as being uncertain. They begin to think for themselves and make decisions based on their own understandings and beliefs. Some students reach this level toward the end of college. • Contextual Knowing – Individuals generate knowledge based on the context on which evidence supporting the knowledge is used. Very few students obtain this level before they graduate. [24]C. Scheme of Intellectual and Ethical Development A team of Harvard
