  • Essay / The importance of memory on memory - 1462

    Knowledge triggers information. There are two ways to describe knowledge. Declarative knowledge is described as “knowing what and why, knowledge of facts and concepts that can be stated or declared” (Ambrose et al., 2010 P?). Students use declarative knowledge in subjects such as chemistry. Mixing chemicals can have dangerous effects if students do not learn which chemicals should or should not be mixed and why. A second type of knowledge is often called procedural knowledge, because it involves knowing how and when to apply various procedures, methods, theories, styles, or approaches. (Ambrose et al., 2010). A student applies their procedural knowledge in a subject such as mathematics, when they explain how they arrived at their answer by showing their work step by step.
