  1. Knowledge Translation Curriculum Module 1: An Introduction to KT Lesson 2 - The “knowledge” of Knowledge Translation

  2. The Knowledge of KT • depends upon personal perspective:a way of seeing is a way of not seeing. Experience builds personal capacities to create, appreciate, refine knowledge. • depends upon personal context: knowledge changes as it moves among stakeholders. Rarely one way to interpret knowledge; always multiple ways of using knowledge • knowledge always informs policy:understanding where research evidence fits into the larger puzzle of knowledge is then key.

  3. The Puzzle of Knowledge

  4. The Layers of Knowledge • data:“an ordered sequence of given items or events” - the alphabetical index of a book. • information: “context-based arrangement of items” with relationships among them shown - a book’s chapter headings and sub-headings. • knowledge:“judgement of the significance of events and items” - a student’s themed list of key sections of a book.

  5. Individual vs Organizational knowledge • knowledge begins with an “individual capacity to draw distinctions”. • at an organizational level, knowledge becomes codified, generalized, judged against the organization’s collective understandings, histories and experiences. • explicit vs tacit knowledge: structured, verifiable, replicable evidence vs intuition, know-how, insight, belief. How do they combine?

  6. Types of Evidence • context-free evidence: what works in general, or knowledge about the potential of something • context-sensitive evidence: puts evidence into a context that makes it operational or relevant to a particular setting. • colloquial evidence: any evidence that “establishes a fact or gives reason for believing in something”.

  7. Truths about Evidence • individuals and organizations define it. • depends upon context to become operational. • constantly evolves and changes.

  8. The Hierarchy of Evidence Systematic Reviews Critically-appraised topics (e.g . evidence summaries) Critically-appraised individual articles (e.g. article synopses) RCTs Cohort studies Case-controlled studies; case series/ reports Expert Information
