knowledge base

Examples of knowledge base in the following topics:

• Expert Systems

  • An expert system consists of both an inference engine and a knowledge base and has decision-making abilities.
  • To run an expert system, the engine uses the knowledge base in the same way that a human reasons.
  • Knowledge based systems are artificial intelligent tools working in a narrow domain to provide intelligent decisions with justification.
  • Knowledge-based systems are systems based on the methods and techniques of artificial Intelligence.
  • Break down expert systems to the inference engine, the knowledge base, and conversational

• A Taxonomy of Knowledge

  • Joel Mokyr classifies knowledge as propositional and prescriptive knowledge.
  • Prescriptive knowledge is instructional or knowledge about techniques about how to do something (ibid).
  • Prescriptive knowledge (λ) is the knowledge about how to do something; it is technique or instructional knowledge.
  • Mokyr argues that the industrial revolution and the associated economic growth began when prescriptive knowledge came to be based on proportional knowledge.
  • This knowledge is propositional knowledge.

• Project-Based Learning: Instructional Strategies

  • The full benefits of projects cannot be achieved without considering the nature of the student's knowledge, the extent of teacher knowledge, and the complexity of the classroom setting.
  • The following strategies can be implemented in the learning environment to promote a Project-Based Learning framework.

• Political Knowledge

  • Political knowledge, in addition to political socialization and major events, impact the formation of people's political values and opinions.
  • The formation of public opinion assumes that Americans know enough about political issues to shape opinions based on political knowledge.
  • However, certain statistics demonstrate that many Americans lack this basic knowledge about politics.
  • Some people are that political values are formed as a result of political knowledge.
  • Researching two political candidates, as illustrated in this flyer, help increase political knowledge.

• Assumptions of Social Constructivism

  • Social constructivism is based on specific assumptions about reality, knowledge, and learning.
  • Knowledge: To social constructivists, knowledge is also a human product, and is socially and culturally constructed (Ernest, 1999; Gredler, 1997; Prat & Floden, 1994).

• Social Constructivism and Instructional Models

  • Instructional models based on the social constructivist perspective stress the need for collaboration among learners and with practitioners in the society (Lave & Wenger, 1991; McMahon, 1997).
  • Lave and Wenger (1991) assert that a society's practical knowledge is situated in relations among practitioners, their practice, and the social organization and political economy of communities of practice.
  • For this reason, learning should involve such knowledge and practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991; Gredler, 1997).
  • Social constructivist approaches can include reciprocal teaching, peer collaboration, cognitive apprenticeships, problem-based instruction, webquests, anchored instruction and other methods that involve learning with others (Shunk, 2000).

• Constructionism: What is it?

  • It builds on the "Constructivist" theories of Jean Piaget, asserting that knowledge is not simply transmitted from teacher to student, but actively constructed in the mind of the learner.
  • "The word with the v expresses the theory that knowledge is built by the learner, not supplied by the teacher.
  • Constructionism supports the constructivist viewpoint--that the learner is an active builder of knowledge.
  • Although learners can construct and present knowledge or meanings without producing external products, the processes of construction are more evident when learners produce through social interaction with others and share representations of their understanding and thoughts.

• Value-Based Pricing

  • This image shows the process for value based pricing .
  • Many customer-related factors are important in value-based pricing.
  • If you have, you know that most consumers have poor price knowledge.
  • Moreover, their knowledge of comparable prices within a product category (e.g., ketchup is typically worse).
  • So price knowledge is a relevant factor.

• The Essence of Project-Based Learning: Constructionism in Practice

  • In conclusion, the essence of Project-Based Learning lies in the engaging experiences that involve learners in complex and real world projects through which they develop and apply skills and knowledge.
