Knowledge Mobilization (KMb): Multiple Contributions & Multi-Production Of New Knowledge

Tag Archives: knowledge questions

Knowledge You Have, Knowledge You Want & Knowledge You Need

2 Comments Posted by on April 4, 2012

I recently read a very interesting article by Stuart Firestein for Scientific American Online titled What Science Wants To Know.  Firestein’s approach is directed more at scientists and scholars – rightly pointing out that “what makes a scientisit is ignorance.”

Science isn’t just about providing answers and creating new knowledge – science is about the ongoing process of asking questions to gain more knowledge to ask more questions to gain more knowledge to ask more questions… Knowledge continues to evolve as an ongoing process.

On a more holistic level that is inclusive of everyone – this is Knowledge Mobilization (KMb), with everyone sharing the knowledge they have and continuing to ask questions with anyone they meet to constantly evolve knowledge for social beneift – and utltimately make the world a better place.

The pursuit of knowledge isn’t just about the knowledge you have – it’s also about the knowledge you want – and the knowledge you need to make the world a better place. Firestein’s reminder that science is more about the questions than the answers isn’t just something exclusive to scientists and scholars. Any followers of my Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) KMbeing blog know that I believe we can all take this approach.

It’s not only about sharing the knowledge you have, but also about being open to asking more and more questions to get the knowledge you want – and gain the knowledge we all need to make the world a better place.
