Difference Between knowledge

And Wisdom
orezrestam

Knowledge is defined as the acquisition of data and information that

provides the ability to answer (How?) questions, while wisdom is
defined as the practical application and use of the knowledge to
create value.

Wisdom is gained through learning and practical experience, not just

memorisation, however, to practically apply knowledge learnt, a deep
understanding of the knowledge is required. “Understanding” is what
allows knowledge to be converted into wisdom through cognitive,
:
 experiential and analytical processes. Wisdom gives people the
ability to make the right judgements and correct decisions, but can
also synthesize new knowledge.

For example, memorising data and information allows you to acquire

knowledge which can be used to answer questions (such as in an
exam), however, when posed with a problem to solve, then a deep
understanding of the knowledge is required to successfully solve the
problem. One of the challenges in our educational system is that
deep understanding of knowledge through cognitive and analytical
processes is not taught in-depth. Curricula require the inclusion of
education programs on how to analyse knowledge and synthesise
new knowledge. To achieve a deep understanding of knowledge,
additional “thinking about thinking” or cognitive techniques are
required to be added to the curriculum. For example, in 1998 the
University of the Sunshine Coast introduced a core compulsory first
year interdisciplinary course called “Thought and Communication”
intended to encourage students to think deeply, in addition to learn
the importance of communication.

Beyond wisdom is enlightenment. Enlightenment can be defined as a

higher form of understanding and wisdom that enables clarity of
perception and awareness. It is a state of being that provides insight
through reasoning and self-awareness.
