The document discusses different frameworks for categorizing types of knowledge, including Carper's patterns of knowing in nursing which include ethics, personal knowing, aesthetics, empirics and emancipatory knowing. It also mentions Chinn and Kramer's theoretical, experiential and empirical ways of knowing as well as Schon's technical rational model. The document then references Eraut's categorization of professional knowledge as propositional, personal and process knowledge and asks how research fits into hierarchies of knowledge.
