The document categorizes knowledge and skills to help with designing learning events. It defines knowledge as information stored like facts, ideas, and procedures. Skill is defined as organized patterns of activity, either mental or physical. There are four categories of knowledge: facts, procedures, concepts, and principles. Facts can be remembered, procedures describe how to do something, concepts are classes of items, and principles explain or predict events. Skills are divided into thinking, acting, reacting, and interacting. Productive skills are innovative while reproductive skills are repetitive. Understanding these categories allows for different training strategies like memorization for facts or explanation and examples for principles.

1. Categories of Knowledge & Skill

2. Composition of Team A
 Smt. Lubna Nikath
 Kumar Rakesh Chandra
 G Jagadeesh

3. Introduction
 Knowledge - Collection of information stored -
facts, ideas, principles, procedures etc.
• Skill -Organised pattern of activity -
Mental or Physical
• Attitude – Approach to a task/job
Distinction is necessary for designing a learning event

4. Knowledge Exemplified
 Facts- One can remember- names, events, dates
 Ideas- One can understand- define, state
 Procedures- One knows how to do
 Principles- One can predict or explain certain events

5. Categories of Knowledge
 Facts
- Concrete- people, places
- Verbal information- numbers, codes, systems
-Fact systems- Morse code, words of songs
 Procedures- what needs to done in a situation
 Concepts-
-Concrete- classes of items-e.g. transport vehicle
-Verbal labels- accounting, administration
 Principles- Rules that guide action/ explain change

6. Categories of Skills
 Thinking
- Mental / cognitive skills
 Acting
- Motor or psycho-motor skills
 Reacting
- ability to control behaviour to achieve a desired objective
 Interacting
- Skills that enable to work with others

7. Further Categories of Skills
 Reproductive skills- repetitive
- Examples- Typewriting, addition of numbers
 Productive skills
- innovative, planned
- Examples- Solving mathematical problems

8. Productive & Reproductive skills

9. Significance of categories
 Different training strategies for different categories
 Knowledge of facts by repetition/ memorizing
 Knowledge of procedures by repetition/
performance aid/ guided discovery
 Concepts by example/ guided discovery (G.D.)
 Principles by explanation & example/ G.D.
 Reproductive Skills require practice after initial trg.
 Productive skills acquired through ability to modify
and refine application of underlying principles
