TYPES OF
KNOWLEDGE
 DEFINITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND ITS
NATURE
Knowledge is the understanding, awareness,

or information that a person possesses about
facts, concept, ideas, or experience. It is
gained through learning, observation, study or
experience and can be both practical and
theoretical in nature.
Different theorists and philosophers have proposed
various theories and perspectives on knowledge:
1. Empiricism ( John Locke, George Berkeley,

David Hume). Empiricists argue that knowledge
is primarily derived from sensory experience.
2. Rationalism (Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza,
Gottfried Leibniz) Rationalists believe that reason
and innate ideas are the main sources of knowledge.
3. Constructivism ( Jean Piaget, Lev
Vygotsky )Constructivist theorist posit that
individuals actively build their knowledge
through mental processes such as assimilation
and accommodation.
4. Pragmatism (William James, John Dewey)

Pragmatists emphasize the practicality and
usefulness of knowledge.
5. Social Constructivism ( Lev Vygotsky, Jerome
Bruner) Social Constructivists emphasize the role of
social interactions and cultural contexts in the
construction of knowledge.
6. Epistemological Relativism ( Thomas Kuhn,

Paul Feyerabend) These theorists suggest that
knowledge is influenced by cultural, historical, and
social factors.
7. Empirical Positivism (Auguste Comte)
Positivists emphasize empirical observation and
the scientific method as the primary means of
acquiring knowledge.
8. Postmodernism ( Michel Foucault, Jean

Francois Lyotard) Postmodernists question the
idea of absolute, objective knowledge.

1. Explicit knowledge : This is formal , codified

knowledge that can be easily communicated and written
down, such as textbooks or documents .
2. Tacit knowledge : Tacit knowledge is more personal

and experiencial . It’s the kind of knowledge that’s
difficult to express in words and is often gained through
practical experience.
3. Procedural knowledge : This is knowledge
of how to do something, like riding a bike or
cooking a meal . Its often tied to skills and
actions .
4.Declarative knowledge : This type of

knowledge involves facts, information, and data
that can be stated and often tested, like
historical dates or scientific theories
5.Implicit knowledge: Implicit knowledge is
unconscious knowledge that people have
without being aware of it. It can influence our
behavior and decisions.

EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
OF KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
What is knowledge acquisition in education?
 Knowledge acquisition typically refers to the process of

acquiring, processing, understanding and recalling information
through one of a number of methods.
 One of the primary components of knowledge acquisition is
the supposition that people are born without knowledge and
that is gained during a person’s lifetime.
 The goals of knowledge acquisition are to reduced the amount
of time and effort required to solved problems and to
improved the quality of the solutions.
What are the barriers to knowledge
acquisition?
The main barriers knowledge use were;

Misunderstanding or misuse of theory.
Limitations and training and learning.
Organizational issues.
APPLYING APPROPRIATE
STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING
KNOWLEDGE
 Activating prior knowledge is like preparing the soil
before sowing the seeds of knowledge says Jim
Cummins. By tapping into what students already know,
teachers help with the learning process. This is because
learning is relating the new information, or concept, to
what we already know. Some commonly used strategies
to activate prior knowledge are: Graphic organizers;
Concept maps; KWL Chart; Anticipatory guides;
Finding out tables; Learning grids; and
Brainstorming.
 Student learn a second language best when they are
able to draw on their prior knowledge of their first
language. Therefore students should be encouraged to
used their first language within the classroom. Applied
knowledge is learning that is used in various situation
and contexts. Student use various procedure and
analytical tools to formulate and generalized concept to
solve diverse problems and situations. Expand the
