The document outlines key concepts in the theory of knowledge, including:
1. It defines knowledge as a familiarity or understanding gained through experience or education that involves perceiving, discovering, and learning.
2. It discusses different types of knowledge such as a priori vs. a posteriori knowledge and explicit vs. tacit knowledge.
3. It examines various theories of knowledge such as empirical knowledge, idealism, and rationalism and different ways of gaining knowledge like sense perception, reasoning, and language.
this group presentation is about to explain Types of knowledge, so we have found 6 TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE, these are:
1. Priori Knowledge
2. Posteriori Knowledge
3. Propositional Knowledge
4. Non-Propositional Knowledge
5. Explicit Knowledge
6. Tacit Knowledge
This PPT will help the learner to learn what is metaphysics. The question around the metaphysic? what are Cosmology, Theology, and ontology?
Education and metaphysics and so on.
This presentation will be helpful in knowing the concepts of disciplinary knowledge, interdisciplinary knowledge, nature and scope of disciplines, knowledge as construction of Experience, various kinds of thinking and how knowledge is different from information

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Objectives
The student,
• gives the meaning of knowledge
• defines knowledge
• lists the types of knowledge
• states the theories of knowledge
• explains the facets of knowledge
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 2
3. Meaning of Knowledge
• Knowledge is a familiarity , awareness or
understanding of some one or something ,
such as facts, information, descriptions of
skills, which is acquired through experience or
education, by perceiving, discovering and
learning.
3III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
4. Definition of Knowledge
Plato defined knowledge as
“Justified true belief” though
“Well-adjusted true belief”
is a more complete definition
4III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
5. Meaning of Epistemology
• Branch of philosophy which studies the
relationship between acquisition of
knowledge and the knowledge thus acquired.
• Involves in investigating
1. The development of human knowledge , its
nature and limitations
2. The ways of knowing as well as discriminating
the truth from the false and speculations.
5III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
7. Knowledge for Practice
• Among those we have learnt, what we apply
in our life constitute our knowledge.
• Example
Knowledge of Teaching acquired by a Teacher.
7III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
8. Knowledge in Practice
• Actions are more important than thoughts.
• When man reacts with the environment , he
gets experiences.
• Action is the pre-runner for knowledge.
• Learning by doing is the appropriate method.
8III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
9. Knowledge of Practice
• Importance to applications
of Knowledge.
• Knowledge is growing and
expanding
• Existing knowledge to be
applied to new situations.
• Knowledge is that which
leads to further knowledge.
9III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
10. Types of knowledge (depending on
nature)
Knowledge
Apriori Aposteriori Explicit Tacit Propositional
Non-
Propositional
10III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
11. 1.Apriori Knowledge
• Apriori means “from the earlier”.
• It implies that a person can derive knowledge
from the world without needing to experience
it.
• Deductive reasoning forms the basis for
arriving conclusions
• Idealism gives prominance
11III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
12. 2.Aposteriori knowledge
• Aposteriori means “from the latter”.
• Gain experience through senses and subject
them to logical reasoning(inductive
reasoning)and reflection to derive
understanding(Conclusion).
• Naturalists and Pragmatists accept this.
12III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
13. 3.Explicit Knowledge
• More formal and reliable.
• Knowledge that is recorded and
communicated through media like libraries
and databases
13III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
14. 4. Tacit Knowledge
• Facial expressions, body movements and
gestures, body language etc. may
communicate information.
• Knowledge thus communicated non-verbally is
TK.
• Opposite to Explicit knowledge (EK)
• EK is easily transferable and TK is almost
impossible to be communicated.
14III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
15. 5.Propositional knowledge
• Known as “Descriptive “ or “Declarative
Knowledge”.
• EK is propositional knowledge
• PK is one which can be literally expressed in
propositions.
• It is knowledge of something and not about
how to do something.
• For example, you can learn to use a computer
, but not know how to program a computer.
15III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
16. 6.Non-Propositional Knowledge
• Also known as Procedural Knowledge.
• Opposite to Propositional Knowledge.
• Used or applied in specific problems and
situations.
• Gives the rules and guidelines for initiating
legal action, conducting functions and dealing
with administrative problems.
16III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC
18. 1. Empirical knowledge
• Developed through observation or
experiment.
• Uses inductive approach in reasoning.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 18
19. 2. Idealism
• Knowledge is primarily acquired by apriori
process
• For example in the form of concepts not
derived from experiments
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 19
20. 3. Rationalism
• Primary importance to thinking and reasoning
• Oppose all forms of superstitious and baseless
stories.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 20
21. Ways of Gaining Knowledge
Sense Perception
Logical reasoning
Understanding emotions
Use of Language
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 21
22. With passage of time....
• Intuition
• Imagination
• Memory
• faith
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 22
24. Facets of knowledge
1. Knowledge as Participation
• Cleaning the neighbourhood
• Home visits to educate young mothers
• Visiting hospitals
• Joining in adult literacy campaigns.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 24
25. Facets of knowledge
2. Knowledge as content
• What is taught in educational institutions as
outlined by curriculum, syllabus,
textbooks/reference books
• Progress in learning periodically assessed by
oral, written or practical tests.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 25
26. Facets of knowledge
3. Knowledge as Relation
• Knowledge and learning are related. By
relating what one learns now, what he has
already learnt, his knowledge gets
restructured and refined.
• Knowledge and experience are related. What,
when and how to learn and the interaction
between knowledge and experience goes on.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 26
27. Facets of Knowledge- Sources
1. Local and Universal
Expertise in local history
Problems of people living in the locality
Resources available for development
Socio economic data are necessary.
Feel of ground realities.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 27
28. Facets of Knowledge- Sources
2. Concrete and Abstract
Knowledge about things that actually exist
now or existed earlier and are factually found
to be correct are concrete knowledge.
Things which derive meaning , not through
our sensory experiences but from thinking and
reasoning are called abstract things.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 28
29. Facets of Knowledge- Sources
3.Practical and Theoretical Knowledge
Taking the shortest route from place A to
Place B is concerned with practical matters.
Theoretical propositions like ‘Total
Prohibition', 'removing Social imbalances’ can
be discussed but not demonstrated before any
audience.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 29
30. Facets of Knowledge- Sources
4. Contextual and Textual
Context means circumstances in which something
happens or in which something has to be
considered.
Texts provide lot of information. Text books
provide graded information in a language style
for a particular group taking into consideration,
the physical and mental abilities and
psychological needs.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 30
32. Sensory Knowledge
• Knowledge acquired through sense perceptions
• It need not be always true.
For example,
To our senses it may appear that sun rises in the
morning and sets in the evening daily which is
not true. According to science, sun rise and
sunset are caused by the rotation of earth around
the sun and not by the movement of sun.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 32
33. Experiential knowledge
• When sense perceptions are stored in mind as
images and applied in thinking whenever need
arises, such kind of knowledge acquired is
called ‘ Experiential knowledge’.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 33
34. Demonstrative knowledge
• When we perceive the agreement or
disagreement between two ideas or events
indirectly through a series of intermediate ideas.
• For example, when we are unable to find a
relationship between A and c, we may find it
indirectly trough the use of B, which may have
relations to both A and C. If A is greater than B,
and B is greater than C, then we know
demonstratively A is greater than C
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 34
35. Logical knowledge
When knowledge is acquired through the use
of inductive and deductive reasoning, that
knowledge is known as logical knowledge.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 35
36. Intuitive knowledge
• When the mind transcends the sensory
perceptions and intellectual reasoning and
gets deeply absorbed in the highest level of
consciousness enabling us to understand
situations, people’s feelings or
agreement/disagreement of two ideas etc.
Immediately without the need for conscious
reasoning or study, it is called intuition
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 36
37. Revealed knowledge
• Knowledge that is beyond human experiences
and revealed by God or the Almighty to sages
and saints or messiahs constitute Revealed
knowledge.
• Example, Vedas, Bible, kuran
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 37
38. Digital knowledge
• Texts and documents stored in the digital form
and is accessible to computers represent
digital Knowledge.
• Developing the skills required to access such
information constitutes digital knowledge.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 38
40. Data
• Sense perceptions regarding objects, persons
or events are recorded in the mind in the form
of data.
• Each small bit of information about a thing
recorded in the mind is called datum.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 40
41. Information
• Information refers to data that has been given
some meaning by way of reflection/
connection. In computing terms, it is the data
that has been processed.
• When data arranged sequentially with a
purpose it reveals some meaningful
information.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 41
42. Knowledge
• If we examine the relations among data it
yields information. If the information are
processed with some purpose, we get
knowledge.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 42
43. wisdom
• Wisdom is the fitting application of
knowledge.
• For example, knowledge understands that
light has turned red in the traffic signal post.
wisdom applies the brake of the car
• Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but not
the other way around.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 43
44. • Knowledge is knowing how to use the gun.
• Wisdom is knowing when to use it and when
to keep it hoisted.
III. Theory of Knowledge FPEEC 44
45. Review
