Is the availability of more data always helpful in the production of knowledge Tok?
By reducing accuracy, it is helpful in the production of knowledge as the knowledge acquired from a wide range of data tends to be more specific and as close to the right answer as possible. On the contrary, having too much data can confuse people and they can find themselves lost in too much data.
What is the production of knowledge Tok?
While the production of scientific knowledge requires a collaborative process, it requires the input of the individuals from which data points are sourced while the evaluation and interpretation of results is typically a cooperative process.
Is it possible to create knowledge that is free from bias in the human sciences?
Although it is arguably impossible to be entirely free from bias within the human sciences, it is important to understand where a lack of objectivity may sneak in, and how we can avoid it. However, history shows that bias and a lack of awareness of our own perspective can lead to the creation of distorted knowledge.
What is knowledge acquisition Tok?
Knowledge acquisition is the process of extracting, structuring and organizing knowledge from one source, usually human experts, so it can be used in software such as an ES.
Is bias inevitable in the production of knowledge Tok?
Conclusively, bias while producing knowledge is unavoidable, unless the extremely rare moment occurs when you’re learning about something for the first time, just as a baby learns to walk.
How does the scientific method prevent bias?
The scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter. Even the best-intentioned scientists can’t escape bias. It provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments and, in doing so, improves their results.
What is a knowledge producer?
Producers always have a series of questions they are working on, wondering about, or collecting for later study. They keep a series of files on potential research topics and add to them when they find pertinent articles, potential collaborators, or possible grants to support the research.
How does knowledge affect our values?
Our knowledge anchors our aspirations in the realm of the possible—what we can appreciably do at a given time, informed by what we know. Our values shape the direction we would like to go in as a community, the issues we would like to move forward; indeed, our priorities.
Do established values change in the face of new knowledge?
11. Can new knowledge change established values or beliefs? The obvious answer to the question of this prompt is “yes”, so in your Exhibition you will demonstrate what that knowledge is and how that knowledge changed our values and/or beliefs, presumably with regard to what was considered “knowledge” prior to it.
