I percieve the word knowledge with a paramount value, it is like a series of ingredient's where one feeds in information. The perception of information is generated through experience or learning that is captured, accumulated and memorised in the way someone understands something. One may obtain knowledge through trial and error. Within the word knowledge I also see the: who? what? why? and when? embedded.
In this example, it came to mind that I will associate knowledge to a flight of escalators - I could visualize this. An aspect from wikipedia says "a power-driven", I could say that knowledge stored in human minds can also be power-driven but only if one utilise's this to motion guide.
Thoughts ~ There are many ways to define: knowledge. If this is the case, what is the true meaning?...

ReplyDeleteMine is just to give definition of knowledge as viewed two authors.
ReplyDeleteIn Fred Nickols view (Nickols, 2000), we seem to mean three things when we use the word "knowledge" :
1. Refers to a state of knowing i.e. to be familiar or acquainted with, comprehend facts, methods, principles, techniques etc.
2. Refers to capacity to act i.e. grasping of facts, methods, techniques etc. sufficient to apply in the course of doing things
3. Refer to codified, captured, accumulated facts, principles, techniques and so on.In other words a body of knowledge that has been articulated and presented in the form of books, papers, formulae, manuals, computer programs etc.
On their part (Davenport and Prusak, 2000), knowledge is:
"a fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual information, and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the minds of knowers. In organizations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories, but also in organizational routines, processes, practices, and norms"
I therefore support your point that knowledge can be defined from angles going even by these two by the preceding outlooks.
