CORE DEFINITION

O (Observation): Observe what happened. A (Awareness): Become aware of your own reactions and feelings. K (Knowledge): Extract reusable knowledge or principles.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

From experience to learning. Through three steps, transform daily experiences into transferable cognitive assets.

Anchor fast decisions

Experience itself does not directly become learning. OAK uses three steps to 'process' experience into transferable assets: Observation (what objectively happened) → Awareness (how I reacted/felt at the time) → Knowledge (abstract reusable principles). From concrete to abstract, completing internalization of experience.
