The practices of knowledge - investigating functions and sources

Year: 2002

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The paper describes an approach for contextual knowledge analysis. This approach is used for investigating knowledge functions and sources in a workpractice. It is based on a practice-theoretic and socio-pragmatic perspective. Activities of generation, transfer and utilisation of knowledge are seen as contextually bound and determined by the workpractice. The research is based on a workpractice theory with generic categories for analysing knowledge sources. The contextual knowledge analysis has been used in an action research based case study within elder care (home care service).
