 DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE
The information acquired that one can
speak about
All about the things we know or can
declare
Facts and events that can be stored and
easily be recalled
 PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE

Refers to what one can do and what is

able to do
Knowledge that person knows to do
which can better be expressed by
doing it than explaining
 FUNCTIONAL KNOWLEDGE
Any piece of stored information that can
be adapted and applied to different
circumstances, or are transferable to
different settings
How people acquire and categorize data
Knowledge that is concrete and usable
rather than abstract and theoretical
OTHER WAYS OF CLASSIFYING KNOWLEDGE

A)Episodic Knowledge
- biological memories reflecting not only what
happened but also where and when it happened

B)Semantic Knowledge
- deals with memories and information but not tied to
personal biographies. It organize the knowledge about facts,
concepts, generalizations and their associations.
 DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE

Conceptual Knowledge
-is the knowledge of understanding of concepts,
principles, theories, models, classification, etc.
-it helps to organize facts in meaningful ways
and to understand the difference and the
competitive advantage of one over another
-also known as declarative knowledge.
  METACOGNITIVE KNOWLEDGE

-knowledge about the subject, knowledge of

the task, and knowledge of the strategy.
- metacognition can take many forms, such
as reflecting on one`s ways of thinking and
knowing when and how to use particular
strategies for problem-solving.
  FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE

-simply define as the terminologies, specific

details, and basic elements within any domain.
- captures discrete, isolated content
elements (terminology and knowledge of specific
details and elements)
WHAT DO EXPERTS DO TO ACQUIRE
KNOWLEDGE?
a)Detecting features and meaningful patterns of
information
b)Accumulating more content knowledge and
organizing it in a manner that indicates
understanding of the topic
c)Retrieving important aspects of knowledge with
little effort
d)Adapting an approach to new situations
e)Using effective strategies
 STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING
KNOWLEDGE
1. Detecting features and meaningful patterns of organization
2. Organization and depth of information
3. Fluent retrieval
4. Adaptive expertise
5. Strategies
6. Spreading out and consolidating learning
7. Asking themselves questions
8. Taking good notes
9. Using a study system
Certains types of methods are appropriate to best develop
particular types of knowledge and it outcomes .
 For developing declarative knowledge, the appropriate methods
would be to provide activities on organizing, listing and
elaborating to facilitate learning.
 For developing concept learning, application of learning is the
most appropriate. This does not involve memory as
in declarative learning but the use of inquiry approach is the
more appropriate to use.
 For learning procedures, the application of procedural methods
to reach the final product is a good approach.
Simple procedures should be demonstrated and practiced one at a
time.
 For learning principles, cause and effect strategies and
effective to teach principles.
