Term2.png KNOWLEDGE
Expertise and skills acquired by a person through experience or education that can be represented both from the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, facts and information that connotes the possession of know-how knowledge (tacit knowledge) as well as possession of factual information (explicit knowledge). It also provides an environment and framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the mind and consists of concepts that are available to process information and guide action. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes, such as perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning and the development of own-self awareness. It is pragmatic as it enables people to act correctly, providing potential for action. [1]
