Academic text as scientific knowledg


Lets define Knowledge, but first of all we have to ask our selves some important questions.


a. How do I know that I've learnt something ?

b. How can I validate the knowledge I have acquired?

c. Where does the knowledge come from?


These questions make us think about the nature of knowledge. And if we agree with Selier and Shoamy (1989) that 4 types of knowledge exist, (e.i.)

  1. personal and social beliefs as knowledge.

  2. Authority as knowledge.

  3. A prioi or axiomatic knowledge.

  4. Sci8entific knowledge.


In this sense we have to ask our selves at first place where exactly the knowledge we have comes from, so we can validate it.


Lets define Academic texts

When writing academic texts we need to know that its main purpose is to transmit and produce knowledge, but the type of knowledge based on a scientific research as the product has to have a scientific background in which we can rely on if it comes to build science.
