Theory of Knowledge: Production of Knowledge as Collaborative Task

Production of knowledge can be defined as the methods of generating idea which will be helpful for the understanding of some concept for human being. Production of knowledge is something that takes time to be realized. Sharing knowledge is an activity through which knowledge is communicated to people, organization and family. The thing which is most important there in this prescribe title is the way that knowledge is produced and how it is produced. I believe that knowledge should be produced in a group to be more concrete and true, the work did alone can also be true but it can have some uncertainties and random error. Every person wants to leave something for the next generation we can call this act that share knowledge.

Reason and language can be using as way of knowing, because shared knowledge has to be produce by a group of people to be more reliable, but in the case of personal knowledge there can be some limitation of communication due to that the comprehension will be difficult for the generation.

Every human being has their own way of reasoning about situation, but it is not all the way of reasoning that is right, because the point of view of someone is not the same for another one. A scientist can realize that some particular aspect of life that are not yet clearly explored like the existence of spirits; the existence of the invisible world and more other. The scientist will try to make some discovery on them which can be benefit to the society according to him. This will be the case of personal knowledge because he will make use of his imagination and also develop his perspectives. He will use is reasoning to well analyse and conclude his statement based on his answer. The uses of language will be more on the comprehension of his arguments. Some people will refuse to accept his resolution, because the scientist made the analogy alone the will expect the help from other scientist to make his to be more confident on his discovery. Finally, the scientist has shared knowledge by his analysis, and this will be transmitted across time, to the future generation, even he die his name, will stay in history.

For example we have the case of John Dalton a scientist who made an analogy after that he found that atoms are indivisible according to his result of that analogy, but after that through the years others scientists made the same analogy but the discovered that atoms can be divisible and it is made up of protons, neutrons, electrons, with those result we can see how the analogy of John Dalton was wrong. This example shows us how the work in a group can give good and clear results, but work did alone can have some mistake which will give wrong result. Sometime humans have dreams that they expect and want to realize. They will try to do it by themselves, but he can discover that he did not have more ideas or the force required for doing that. They will try to do it by themselves, but he can discover that he did not have more ideas or the force requires doing that. Working in group in group will be a good idea, because it will increase the work force needed and skills.

We have the case of Cluster Evolution as an example, where the author who has the idea of the experiment of the dynamical evolution of a model star. His objective was to know more about the evolution of a cluster, by initial and final conditions using the broadest type of techniques, also compare and then analyse the results. His engagement was to give a comparably analysis of others techniques in the exposition to the IAU General Assembly in Kyoto. According to him, this will be a good opportunity to introduce its work to colleagues and what he has found about the evolution of model star cluster. Finally he had result on his experiment. The author of the experiment, he used language to communicate with others, and share its ideas with his colleagues. He used reason to achieve his objectives and have good result. Personal example it was in form 4 the teacher gave us an assignment in physics, which we were supposed to do in group of 4 people, it was supposed to take and account for our class participation. The task was to find the mass of all the planets of the solar system; we decided to divide the work by given to everybody the work to find the mass of two planet as they are eight in total. Everybody in the group did it work well and we done the task easily, because many people were involve. We had a good result for our analysis, and the teacher gave us good grade. This example shows how working in group can give some good result, because of the good analysis made by the member. That is why when you work in collaboration try to find people who are interest in the same on what they are doing. With does arguments sited above, we can see how the collaborative task can be beneful at all in the area of natural sciences, also it can be a good area of production of knowledge in Some people have the habit to work alone on something, with the aims to prove to the society that they are strong and able to produce something that is why they don’t like collaborative work, because they know that the rewards honour will be shared. In art there is some artist have revolutionized their time by bringing new style. Some people have principle according to their religion or culture that they can’t disrupt, because this will go against their belief. That is why they will not agree with something that is false according to their tradition. Knowledge can be producing through the past experiment, but good argument can’t be confident at all because the work is doing alone, someone can paint a board with the aim of sharing a message, the message that he wants to share can be good but depending on how the community will perceived it, some members of community can see it as not benefit for them.

For example I went to Foumban in the Institute of Art and culture I saw many fresco, one of them captivated my attention it was a table of a nude woman who nourishing her baby with her boobs, the painter said that his message was to show the benefit of maternal nutrition but other people consider that as perverse because the woman was nude. If this work was done in collaboration, some people may have seen that the nude woman can affect the sensibility of other. They will change this aspect.

Someone can have the idea of painting something in the wall of a building; his objective can be to present the diversity of culture and touristic location of a country. To do that he will need to walk through the country by presenting his project and also asking some questions concerning his task to get more information and reasoning on them to find clearly arguments. The facts that he walks through the country doing some research, he will gain more skill, ideas and proof which will support his arguments, also increase the personal knowledge require. He will reproduce the knowledge which he has acquired but he can change some aspect and add his personal knowledge. He will produce a knowledge based in art; people will accept his messages because they will know that he has learned about many cultures before doing that, and also his argument follows by good proof will automatically convince them.

For example in my previous school one of my class mate drawn a table which show how in the north region girls does not have the right of go to school before and in state why it was not good for those girls. He gave the benefit of school and why it was condemned by woman right; his message was clear and easy to understand, by this picture he has produced knowledge which has been helpful for the community. With this example you can see how knowledge can be produce solely in art.

This essay has shown how knowledge can be produce, and in which circumstance this production of knowledge can be true. One thing that is important to know that there are ways where knowledge produced can be seen as true by the society. Production of knowledge depends only on the manner that is formed, if it is produced as a collaborative task or individually the reality is that the society will only need true knowledge, they will not care about the way that it is produced. Reading through this essay, we discovered that production of knowledge is a more reliable when it is did in collaboration and can not be always the product of the individual, but knowledge can be produced individually depending of the situation.

Production of knowledge can be done by an individual based on his experience and experiment, production of knowledge it, not only a collaborative task because we can have some challenges. Knowledge can also be considered as a collaborative task because working in collaboration can bring more ideas and argument. The limitations of this essay are the lack of more arguments and examples.
