Procedural knowledge

Although conceptual and procedural knowledge cannot always be separated, it is useful to distinguish between the two types of knowledge to better understand knowledge development. First consider conceptual knowledge. A concept is ‘an abstract or generic idea generalized from particular instances’ (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 2012). Knowledge of concepts is often referred to as conceptual knowledge (e.g. Byrnes & Wasik, 1991; Canobi, 2009; Rittle-Johnson, Siegler, & Alibali, 2001). This knowledge is usually not tied to particular problem types. It can be implicit or explicit, and thus does not have to be verbalizable (e.g. Goldin Meadow, Alibali, & Church, 1993). The National Research Council adopted a similar definition in its…

Students can demonstrate a deep understanding by solving short conceptual problems, applying mathematics to new situations,…

Knowledge may take three possible forms, propositional knowledge (knowledge of true facts), procedural knowledge (knowledge of how to do), and finally knowledge by acquaintance (knowledge acquired by experience).

Such a stipulation does not cohere with two of the aforementioned forms of knowledge, which require a physical being in which to experience knowledge relating to such things.…

When one has power over another, one has the ability to make them feel isolated from a variety of experiences. The struggle between power and alienation is present in a wide range of human experiences. It takes a different form depending on the experience. The struggle can occur between a teacher and a student, and two different cultures. An example of this struggle, between a teacher and student, is displayed in the essay, “The Banking Method,” by Paulo Friere. The teacher is given the power…

The conflict I chose to discuss and critically analyze is a common conflict in many businesses. I have recently experienced managers overloading employees with too much work. I chose to utilize the starbursting tool because it goes through who, what, when, where, why and how, and I truly want to analyze this and come up some helpful solutions. Starbursting is focused on brainstorming several questions for each ‘w’ and how. For this detailed analysis I will also include my overall answer or…

meaning of their experiences. Their study focused on 135 women of various ages and backgrounds who were interviewed about their upbringing, relationships, decision-making skills, and personal goals – knowledge acquired throughout their lives. Through their analysis of these interviews, Belenky et al. challenged traditional androcentric knowledge theories (e.g. Perry, 1970). From their life experiences women develop ways they view the world, or epistemologies. These “women’s ways of knowing” have…
