KNOWLEDGE
Human faculty resulting from interpreted information; understanding that germinates from combination of data, information, experience, and individual interpretation. In an organizational context, knowledge is the sum of what is known and resides in the intelligence and the competence of people. In recent years, knowledge has come to be recognized as a factor of production (see knowledge capital) in its own right, and distinct from labor.

KNOWLEDGE
"Things that are held to be true in a given context and that drive us to action if there were no impediments" Andre Boudreau
"Capacity to act" Karl Sweiby
"Justified true belief that increases an entity's capacity for effective action" Nonaka and Takeuchi

KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is what is known as opposed to what is not known to a human being. It is the product of thinking or thought, which usually employs or works with concepts, like truth, belief, and wisdom. The definition of knowledge should comply with the prerequisites of a definition and should reflect the nature (or further specifics or descriptors) of knowledge.

THE SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
These principles are the following:• The need for constant revisions to meet the needs
of changing societies• Teaching to focus on strengths rather than
weaknesses• Coherence through interdisciplinary team teaching• Absolute standards to be tempered by questions
about skills and knowledge and the best way to transmit them
• Greater diversity of teaching methods• Excellence may be universal in science yet relative
in historical and cultural areas

LEARNER AUTONOMY
• capacity to take at least some control over their learning
• the learning environment provides opportunities for the learner to take control of their learning.
• developing capacity requires a set of personal qualities: confidence, motivation, taking and accepting responsibility, and ability to take initiative. It also involves a set of skills: academic, intellectual, personal and interpersonal
19
LEARNER AUTONOMY
• Students can identify:– their learning goals (what they need to learn)– their learning processes (how they will learn it)– how they will evaluate and use their learning
• Ss have well-founded conceptions of learning• Ss have a range of learning approaches and
skills• Ss can organize their learning• Ss have good information processing skills• SS are well motivated to learnThey can take responsibilty.
