Traditional knowledge

first is that he does not know anything and the second is that he is wiser than every man in Athens. While these two claims may seem contradicting to one another because of our traditional conviction of relating wisdom to knowledge, Socrates refutes this correlation with his Socratic Paradox; which instead correlates knowledge with virtue and ignorance with evil. We learn about Socrates’ notion of wisdom through his use of moral virtue when he defends himself in court against the wrongdoings he…

approach. Partly, because of the nature and structure of the academic classes and subjects are taught through different departments, I had only approached these issues from very different, often singular perspectives. Furthermore, the approach through traditional academic means is portrayed as being objective and separate so I never felt the need direct need to address what can be done about these issues being talked about directly…

Greek Philosopher, Plato wrote a symbolic depiction of people’s perception of reality in The Allegory of the Cave. Plato believed that true knowledge can only be found though education. He also believed that the role of teachers were to guide the scholar on the road to enlightenment, not direct their paths. The role of the government was also to be questioned to ensure that it was serving the greater good of the people. Plato wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and provided a powerful…

organization in several ways. Adult learners do not accept the traditional way of learning (Chen, 2014). By incorporating the adult learning theory into the curriculum, higher education organizations will provide a more effective education for adult learners. Adult learners will understand why the information is important and how it pertains to their future endeavors (Fidishun, n.d.). Adult learners will also be able to use their past knowledge and experiences in the classroom (Fidishun, n.d.).…

The problem based approach emphasises that new knowledge and understandings are created while working collaboratively in small groups. Students get involved in mathematical conversations. Sharing and explaining their ideas with each other is important for effective collaboration and it also helps to enhance learning (Webb and Palincsar, 1996). An action research involving middle school students (Hirschfeld-Cotton, 2008) found that encouraging students to communicate their mathematical thinking…

well as the many areas that I will need to make improvements. For example, prior to this class I had no knowledge of the X and Y theories. Now I realize that I operated with the mindset of a theory X manager and had the same thought process about all employees collectively, which in return made me less effective and resulted in not reaching maximum production. I currently will apply this knowledge to communicate more effectively with my current managers and to better recognize what theory they…

The more information and knowledge adult educator’s gain regarding how best to reach, teach, and enrich the lives of adult learners, the better equipped, effective, and successful they can become as adult educators. Merriam (2008), echoes this view in her claim that; “Whether we are assisting adults in preparing for the GED, coaching executives in a Fortune 500 company, or demonstrating a new agricultural technique in a developing country, the more we know about how adults learn the better we…

My post-formalist period: Learning about history through literature and philosophy As I posited in my theory critique, post-formalism describes a process of drawing upon one’s personal experience, and combining it with knowledge acquisition in order to make sense of the world and one’s place in it. In this scenario, the teacher takes on the role of facilitator – one who is responsible for providing the opportunity to arrive at that crossroads. This is how I came to gain a more nuanced…

To measure what the learner have learned and knowledge abilities Look at the behaviour based on training received and what are change implications within the organisation. Analyse the results of training including outcomes that have determined to the organisation as best. 1.3.1 The implication of training…

Knowledge are the “Facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.” Knowledge can be divided into two parts, which are personal knowledge and shared knowledge. Shared knowledge is acquired through media such as the internet, books or television or through another person such as a teacher or professor, hence shared knowledge is the knowledge a group of people share. Whereas personal knowledge is obtained through…
