...T H E K N O W L E D G E E C O N O M Y A N D E D U C A T I O N Karen Jensen University of Oslo, Norway Leif Chr. Lahn University of Oslo, Norway and Monika Nerland (Eds.) University of Oslo, Norway This book presents an entirely new approach to professional learning based on perspectives of the knowledge society and, in particular, an interpretation of Knorr Cetina’s work on scientific ‘epistemic cultures’. Starting with a conceptual chapter and followed by a suite of empirical studies from accountancy, education, nursing and software engineering, the book elaborates how: a) knowledge production and circulation take distinct forms in those fields; b) how the knowledge objects of practice in those fields engross and engage professionals and, in the process, people and knowledge are transformed by this engagement. By foregrounding an explicit concern for the role of knowledge in professional learning, the book goes much farther than the current fashion for describing ‘practice-based learning’. It will therefore be of considerable interest to the research, policy, practitioner and student communities involved with professional education/learning or interested in innovation and knowledge development in the professions.

...1. In today’s culture the power of knowledge and learning has always been stressed. Sometimes this can make or break a person or even a company. A baby starts learning from birth, knowing the mothers voice and how to suck a bottle. As the child progress in life learning the child should realize a benefit from the knowledge that has been acquired. Soon the child will have a comprehension of what he or she has learned and then how to apply the concepts. He or She will eventually learn how to analysis and trouble shoot situations or problems, which leads to him or her creating and designing, and finally making a conclusion about something1. Those concepts are learned and people learn in a lot of different ways such as Experiential learning and learning from a Community. 2. Experiential learning is a something that is significant in our society today. Knowledge such as learning vocabulary or multiplication tables and the latter refers to applied knowledge such as learning about engines in order to repair a car1. Experiential learning has been known to be associated with personal traits or character trait. In simple terms it is what we learn that make us who we are. This has been very evident in the American culture today. For example the chairman of Microsoft Corporation which is one of the world’s leader in technology of computers and software2. Thru out his life he has gained his knowledge from experiential learning in one form or another. It starts in day care and soon works up...

...Background paper On Domains of Culture Learning and Knowledge Since the dawn of time human beings have been learning how to survive throughout the world and passing this knowledge gained over centuries down to their children for generations and now into the near future. America is widely known for its prestige college universities and its higher standards for learning and knowledge. As Americans how would the world be if we did not have Learning and Knowledge in our American culture? Today, we are going to discuss Learning and Knowledge and how it has vastly affected our American culture as a whole. Learning and knowledge in American culture has always been perceived as your stepping stone to a better life. First, we will examine Learning and its effect on the American culture. In a famous quote from Leonard Da Vinci “Learning never exhausts the mind”.1 This can be simply put as our minds as human beings will continue to learn and grow as much as we deem fit. Typically, we attend school all the way up to the age of eighteen and we have a choice to make on whether or not to attend college or set off into the American work force. Regardless, of what choice we make learning is going to occur in both aspects of attending college or starting a new job/career in the American workforce. Attending college will give you a better knowledge of how our society works and how to some-what navigate through everyday life. Entering into the workforce you will gain more of a hands-on, everyday...

...12 Domains of Culture BACKGROUND PAPER ON SUSTENANCE & HEALTH (HEALING AND WELLNESS) 1. You are what you eat and what you eat is a reflection of your values and beliefs. To many Americans, food is not only a source of nourishment, it is also directly related to health and wellness. This research paper is intended to establish a better understanding of American culture and to reinforce cross cultural competence, specifically health and wellness. Healing and wellness are as ancient and culturally diverse as our nation. Americans today have become disconnected from the values and beliefs we once held. This loss of culture has led to many health concerns. .Fortunately, there is a new food culture emerging in America. This new culture includes a range of treatments that is used by Americans to promote health and wellness. In many traditional cultures, the health and wellness of an individual is related to the combination of the mind, body, and spirit. 2. Traditional culture, such as Native Americans, have used diets and plants to promote health by living in unison with the earth. They equated health and wellness to wholeness. Unfortunately, this way of life has been lost with every new generation. “Less than 100 years ago, diabetes was almost unheard of among Native Americans. Today diabetes runs rampant through many tribes as they integrate into the mainstream culture and adopt the typical American lifestyle.”1 Our values and beliefs have become so different which has caused...

...PERSONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PLAN PART I: PERSONAL VALUES My top 5 values are: 1. Family is by far my most important value. Without family I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. Rather it’s my grandparents, parents or wife, when nobody else is there for me they are. Family however isn’t just about blood relatives with me but my closest friends in the world too. The same respect and love I have for my actual family I have for my closest friends too, so I consider them extended family. 2. Respect is my second value. Without having respect for someone or something then you won’t ever have progress in whatever you wish to accomplish. The cool thing about respect is, it’s earned and not given. When there is mutual respect among individuals then it can be the start of something special. 3. Loyalty is my third value. I think this is a value which a lot of the world has loss due to everyone is always trying to get over on each other. Instead of trying to get over on each other we should remain loyal and help each other out. There are enough royalties and solutions to any problem for everyone to be happy. 4. Progression is my fourth value. I have had a lot of success in my career as well as hard times. In the end I always find a way to move on and progress. The key to progression for me is not getting complacent when things are great and not getting too down when things are bad. Rather good or bad find a way to progress...

...analyze us, or taking surveys. The LSI survey is a way we can see where we fit in amongst other individuals. This survey helps assess our personality characteristics and other traits according to how we interact in society. I took the survey to see where my personality traits rate with other people. I will go over the results and how a person can learn and change from them. The LSI survey is a circle that is broken in many parts. There are 3 areas that the circle is broken into which are satisfaction needs, task orientation, and security needs. The primary part is the satisfaction needs whereas the backup tells you what causes these traits. When it comes to the scoring of the survey I had my highest in the constructive styles 1, 2, 11, and 12. These help with self-enhancing thinking and behavior that causes satisfaction. Number 1 is the humanistic encouraging The Humanistic-Encouraging scale measures our interest in people, our tendency to care about others, and our ability to encourage them to improve. Humanistic-Encouraging people are accepting of themselves, and accept others for who they are without any issues. I believe I am definitely like this because I am not a judgmental person. Number 2 is the affiliate part that measures degree of commitment to forming and sustaining satisfying relationships. This is the area where people want to establish long relationships with others. I think when it comes to seeking relationships I am like that because I want to have long term...

No one should feel like an outsider in America, according to King. So he wanted to help them out 2. They picked a time near Easter for direct action because besides Christmas time, it’s the main shopping period of the year. They wanted to bring pressure to put on the merchants that there should be changes made. 3. He insist on direct action in Birmingham because it dramatizes the issue and rings tension to the community to make a situation so that their only choice is to negotiate 4. It’s impossible for blacks to continue to “wait” because they have been waiting for more than 340 years for change, and not a lot has changed. Waiting for them means that there’s little chance for anything to ever happen. 5. Personal examples the King included was about his daughter asking questions about why things are the way they are for black people. 6. A just law is a manmade code that squares with the moral law or law of God. An unjust law is a human law that is out of harmony with moral laws. It’s important because it gives segregators false superiority 7. A law is unjust if it degrades a human’s personality 8.
