Barbara Carper discusses the the 4 ways of knowing (aesthetics, personal, emperical, and ethics). Furthermore, she outlines 6 steps in the process to generate knowledge:

1. Critical question #1
2. Creative processes
3. Formal Expression
4. Critical question #2
5. Authentication processes
6. Integrated expression
