I think that epistemology is a method that we get knowledges and learn some things

It can indicate the ways and methods of academic research.

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology might be the source from which we acquire knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe it’s some deep aspects behind the phenomenon’s itself,like the history of it ,the original meaning of it

Learn it can help us to research how it born,how it developed into today’s meaning,so that we can make a deeper understanding and analyze on it

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology is to expand knowledge and to research if knowledge is justified.

1.the study how we learn sth

2.give us the inspiration to teaching and learning

how people know/understand the knowledge

the way people access the main information and build relationship between old and new information

help people get the framework of the knowledge

build the bridge between brain and knowledge

It explores fundamental questions about what knowledge is, how we acquire it

1.epistemology is the branch of philosophy about nature ,origins, limits of knowledge.

2.Why it is important:because it guides research methodology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that epistemology may be some scopes of professional ideas and knowledge about our subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
A philosophy item that means how we learn

# data[].attributes.body
The experence we experenced

Information that we know

The skills we can use

The books we have read

# data[].attributes.body
I think knowledge is the life skills that your parents teach you when you are born, and then the learning skills that teachers teach you when you go to school.Until we absorb these skills or experience and transform them into our own”knowledge“.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowledge can guide us in the right direction.

Knowledge is like understanding, awareness, experience or education.

Knowledge may be some infromations and professional terms about subject, and some life skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that the knowledge is some informations that people maybe had already known ,maybe didn’t know. People learn them so that it can border their horizons and use it in life

1. What is the main message of this parable? 2. How does this relate to academic research and your studies?

Two types of research approaches are Positivism and Interpretivism. They both assume a different type of perspective on 'knowledge'. What do they mean? What are there key features? Where might you use these approaches?

# data[].attributes.body
Which disciplines or areas of study may hold the following epistemological perspectives?

A.

Direct observation, lab experimentation and computer simulations give credible, measurable and objective scientific explanations, and enable the discovery of generalisable theories.

B.

Human knowledge is shaped by social and cultural contexts, by external factors but also by individuals and understanding of issues and phenomena is diverse.  Both quantitative (stats, trends) and qualitative (respondent-driven interviews) data and methods are used.

C.

In producing knowledge about the past, the focus is on the authenticity of interpretation of original documents. There cannot be one universal truth; the truth is constructed through interpretation, reasoning and use of documentary evidence.

D.

Of primary interest is seeking meaning in text by looking at patterns but also by looking at context and cultural references. The truth is an individual one, every perspective matters, all voices are legitimate

E.

Abstract entities are the focus of study in this discipline. Certain laws and truths exist independent of our ability to understand them, and they ‘never’ change. The knowledge generated in this discipline - its abstract notions, operations and laws are an integral part of many other sciences.
