Knowledge to me is obtaining new information from a number of different sources. Not all knowledge would be facts but it would be knowledge. Learning on the other hand is more about school for me. Learning how to do something, a process, or terms. Hyland looks more at the numbers and averages and a lot of data. Information and knowledge are different to me because information makes me think of random facts. Knowledge makes me think of topics I know a lot about. I think this difference is important because it can change what you think is important and what isn’t.
Johnsons discussion opened my mind to how ideas are made and where they come from. I thought it was really interesting because I never thought about it that way. I thought that you just got an idea just because, not from other sources. I think that Johnsons discussion has made me think more about the things I read. I feel like I analyze things more than usual and this will help me more and more while I write my next paper.
