Richard -
I enjoyed your presentation yesterday and I like where you're going with developing sub-categories for explicit and tacit knowledge. I have a couple of thoughts that you might want to consider. You describe rather than define the sub categories (what it looks like rather than what it is). Description is an essential first step, but you have to define something to truly understand what distinguishes each category. This leads to a bit of ambiguity and inconsistency in the groups (all of which is solvable). Specific knowledge - suggest "domain" or "subject-matter" rather than "specific." The latter is too general and could mean almost anything. Domain would seem to include formal and explicit knowledge. Analytical knowledge - great. You may want to include synthesis along with analysis in this group (lumpers & splitters). Personal know how - This group is problematical. It switches from knowledge to know how. May I suggest "experential knowledge" which leads to guidelines, options, and pattern recognition. Skill - Even more problematic. When I look at the examples, the only thing that seems to fit is "practice-based" knowledge (not the greatest of names). But I also see it as containing two kinds of stuff - physical or tactile (playing music, riding a horse) and cognitive (thinking). I feel that these are very different and two categories are warranted here. BTW - Thanks for clarifying the difference between thinking (the process) and thought (the output of the process). Bottom line - if you can define everything as a form of knowledge you will clearly and consistently understand the underlying properties that differentiates each category. Use or not, for what it's worth. I have a short essay on description and definition if you're interested. Al Simard |
