1- Concept of Perceived Knowledge:
Perception is the ability to gain awareness of the surrounding world through the senses. It has a central position in the theory of knowledge. Through our senses we receive raw information about the world around us. Then we try to get the understanding by combining the collected information. All kinds of knowledge is obtained from it. Perception is our relationship with the outside world. The correctness of the knowledge obtained from it has never been questioned, but the question must arise that do we interpret our perception correctly? So we can say that basically all our practical knowledge depends on how we see, how we hear, how we touch, how do we smell and taste?
The term Perceived Knowledge is used for a person's
personal evaluation or sensitivity to knowledge regarding the information
required for evaluation. It is a fact that we can gain knowledge about the real
world only through our senses and perception system. First of all we get the
information about the real world by through our sensory system i.e, our eyes,
ears, nose, mouth and skin. When information passes through the sensory system,
we gain perception. When information passes through our knowledge filter, three
situations are possible to happen.
i:- By deciding that the information is not meaningful,
we stop our perception, or
ii:- We do not immediately recognize the information but
we believe that the information is useful and meaningful for us so we try to
get more information, or
iii:- The information we get is meaningful to us, we pass
it through knowledge filter of perception and senses and try to check its
value.
When information is passed through the knowledge filter
of value , we apply on it one of three values,
If it is information that we have learned and satisfies
our needs, then we recognize this as a positive value but information that we
have learned but hinders our ability to satisfy those needs. we will declare
them as information with negative value. While such information that can
fulfill our needs and that which is not fulfilling our needs they are said to
be neutral.
Since we are all exposed to different types of knowledge
and experience in different situations, the information we receive also has
different values. Our perceptions of the real world are also different.
Therefore, we all do not live in the same real world, but we have our own
perceptive or the world of feelings in which we pass our lives.
For each of us, the perceptive world is the reality. Our
perceptive worlds,
* Are extremely suitable that means they are about
everyone’s culture, education, experiment, sex and age etc.
* Are unique,
* Constantly
changing, and
* Often wrong.
Often our perceptions are selected, For perception often we choose different ways
for people, places and states.
For example, if we're driving to the office, we might
start thinking about someone who pulled up in front of our car and forced us to
hit the brakes, thus ruined our morning intentionally, it gives us a sense of
the tension that exists in perception. We can also think of ourselves as having
made a mistake in haste, then we try to reassure ourselves that such a mistake
will not happen again. Regarding our perception choices, it is a good idea to
ask ourselves which one is better for us to maintain?
If a person feels informed, he will not try to get more
information and will engage in reflection on the information he has, then there
is a fear that he will come to a wrong conclusion. Some people fill their belly
with useless entertainment and art based news and think that they are well
informed even though they do not get the correct information. In such a case,
on the basis of bad information it is a matter of concern when one try to reach
a final conclusion.
2- Concept of Reflective Knowledge:
Reflective knowledge plays an important role in higher level of knowledge, for reflective knowledge sources must be reliable.
Reflective knowledge is a reliable reference and
God-given personal ability is transformed into meta-competency that is
compatible with a variety of work situations. A person with intellectual
knowledge knows its place and value, knows its beliefs and knowledge and knows
where it has come from and how can they be used?
3- Advantages of Reflective Knowledge:
Intellectually acquired knowledge is like achieving a prized goal through one's own intelligence, knowledge and intention, or after great effort one has got ones purpose. While the non-intellectual acquisition of knowledge is like getting a benefit from luck in the dark. Thus the benefits of reflective knowledge build confidence through the ability of thinking on every aspect.
