Discuss as a group the assigned category and ask yourselves how this way of knowing
affects your way of being in and interacting with the world.
- Procedural knowledge is essential for navigating various aspects of daily life,
such as managing finances, maintaining relationships, performing work-related
tasks, and many more. This type of knowledge is often gained through trial and
error, as well as through observing and learning from others. It is an important
and undervalued type of knowledge that all individuals can benefit from. By
recognizing and valuing women's experiences and ways of knowing it aims to
create a more inclusive and equitable society where all individuals can contribute
their unique perspectives and knowledge. Procedural knowledge gives a vast
advantage to a women’s character. Many women continue to be responsible for
practices such as practical and caregiving tasks, but they also face a variety of
other challenges, such as balancing work and family responsibilities, navigating
complex social systems, and advocating for their own needs and rights. In order
to be successful in these endeavors, women need a range of skills and
knowledge, including procedural knowledge. For example, they may need to
know how to navigate complex bureaucracies, how to negotiate for better pay or
benefits, or how to advocate for themselves in social or political settings in order
for them to succeed in a variety of occasions or events.
