Types of Knowledge

This document discusses different types of knowledge including episodic knowledge, semantic knowledge, declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, conditional knowledge, and strategic knowledge. It describes semantic knowledge as generalizations, concepts, facts, and associations. Declarative knowledge is knowing what, procedural knowledge is knowing how, and conditional knowledge is knowing when. The document also discusses organizing semantic knowledge through facts, concepts, categories, generalizations, and different techniques for knowledge acquisition.

CHAPTER 6

TYPES AND QUALITIES OF


KNOWLEDGE
Learning Outcomes
After discussing al the lessons, students should
be challenged to:
1.describe the nature,qualities and properties of
knowledge;
2.illustrate the importance of epistemological
domain for learning and instruction;
3.evaluate the quality of knowledge they gain in
school; and
4.use various types of knowledge in solving real
life problems.
KNOWLEDGE

- Various types of knowledge are received and


processed through senses.

- Knowledge should be integrated between old


and new facts to manintain equilibrium.
TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE

• EPISODIC KNOWLEDGE refers to our


biographical memory reflecting not only what
happened but also where and when it happened .
• SEMANTIC KNOWLEDGE refers to
generalizations, concepts, facts and their
asociations.
TYPES OF SEMANTIC KNOWLEDGE

• DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE deals with the


statement of truth; it also refers to what we know
about the world. This type of knowledge accounts
for knowing what.
• PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE is the
knowledge about how things are done. It contains
actions and manipulations that are valid within
specific knowledge domains. It is concerned with
knowing how
• CONDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE. If declarative
knowledge accounts for knowing ''what'' and
procedural knowledge accounts for knowing ''how'',
then conditional knowledge accounts for knowing
''when''. We should know the appriate time and
condition in which certain information is to be used.
• STRTEGIC KNOWLEDGE helps us organize our
problem-solving processe by specifying the stages
followed in order to arrive at solutions.
DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE IS ORGANIZED
ACCORDING TO VARIOUS LEVEL

• Generalizations
• Descriptors
• Time elements • Principles
• Process • Concepts
• Casual relationship
• Episodes
THE LEGITIMATE POWER OF
KNOWLEDGE

 Knowledge that is true and legitimate can be used


meaningfully and can work for our most honest human
endeavors. Dealing with its legitimate power equates with
understanding its process. Not all forms of knowledge are
legitimate, to be such they must be:
- rational
- empirical
- pragmatic
ORGANIZATIONAL OF SEMANTIC
KNOWLEDGE

Learning task in classrom should be arranged


according too how these can be facilitated.
Semantic knowledge deals with generalizations,
categories, facts, and associations.
FACTS - specific bits of information that relate to
specific event, person, object or situation.
Facts should be differentiate from the following:
Data - are things gathered through the process of
research.
Information - is a definite knowledge
Ideas - may be suggestions, impressions, or opinions
Wisdom - gained through experience
CONCEPTS are basic units of thinking.

Three differents structures of concepts


- Properties
- Signs
- Referents
Properties
(common qualities that all examples of concepts
share in common)

Signs Referents
(words or symbols name concepts) (examples of
concept)
Categories - do not only provide basic knowledge
about certain objects but also give an idea about
some properties of things belong to other categories.
Types of Categories
- Natural
- Artifact
- Nominal

Generalizations - are statements that contains the if-


then or predictive characterisrics.
KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
TECHNIQUES

• Protocol-generation involves different mens of getting


information through interviews and observations.
• Protocol analysis involves the scrutiny of interview result
or other documents to identify different kind of
information.
• Hierarchy-production includes types of laddering in order
to build taxonomies such as grading or ranking structures.
KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
TECHNIQUES

• Grid-construction deals with the formulation of reference


lines on map or repertory frames used in krder to provide,
classify, analyze, and itemize various conceptual properties.
• Sorting out includes putting together things that have the
same attributes so that we can organize and disentangle
something.
• Diagram-based involves provision, application and
processing of concepts to indicate statistical trends or
mathematical information.
