Types of Knowledge and Connective Knowledge

Highlighted by bnleez

two types of knowledge

Highlighted by joostrobben

'qualitative' knowledge.

Highlighted by joostrobben

The things we see, the things we feel, the things we hear: these are the qualities of the object.

Highlighted by robdmillusa

'quantitative' knowledge.

Highlighted by joostrobben

Quantitative knowledge is derived from the practices of counting and measuring

Highlighted by robdmillusa

These two types of knowledge account for most of what we know about things that there are out there in the world.

Highlighted by robdmillusa

our ability to perceive, to sense the world, and our ability to calculate, to think about the world

Highlighted by robdmillusa

orm the foundation for language, the foundation for logic, and the foundation for all of the sciences we have had up to today

Empiricism and rationalism:

Highlighted by joostrobben

Empiricism, the philosophy that all knowledge is derived from the senses

Highlighted by robdmillusa

Rationalism, the philosophy that all knowledge is derived from calculation and realism

Summary: Three types of knowledge
- of the senses (empirical)
- of quantity (rationalist)
- of connections (connective)

Highlighted by bnleez

So, connective knowledge is knowledge OF the connections that exist in the world. It is knowledge about how such connections are created, and what impact, or effect, such a system of connections has.

Connectivism is a theory that described this third type of knowledge. It is a theory that tells us what this third type of knowledge is, where it is, what produces it, how we learn it, and how it can be used.

Highlighted by ldurff

So we have two types of connective knowledge, the knowledge that we have OF networks, that we obtain by looking at networks, and knowledge that is created and stored BY networks in the world.

Summary: Connective knowledge is both:
- knowledge OF networks in the world
- knowledge obtained BY networks

Summary: Connective knowledge is both:
- knowledge OF networks in the world
- knowledge obtained BY networks

Summary:

Active participation in the network:
- as a node in the network, by participating in society
- as a whole network, by perceiving with the brain (the neiural network)
Reflective participation in the network:
- by observing society as a whole
- by reflecting on our mental states and processes

the actual interactions that take place, the actual interactions that happen between this person and other people, the actual perceptions that reshape the person's neural network.

If we have a lump of coal - and *only* a lump of coal, then there are three types of things to be known about it:
- its colour and shape and other qualities
- its mass and size and other quantities
- the way its parts are connected

And as a result, we have three types of knowledge about this particular lump of coal:
- qualitative
- quantitative
- connective
