Roblyer Question #2

#2 What is the difference between acquiring knowledge and the employment of knowledge as described by Tennyson (1990) in the article?

Well from what I read in the Roblyer article the answer to this question is quite simple. The way Tennyson defines Acquiring Knowledge is the actual verbal transmission of facts and knowledge. Employment of Knowledge is in fact the skills, strategies and processes in which you learn from the knowledge or practice while learning. So in fact employment of knowledge is what you do with the acquired knowledge.

I'd have to agree. That is exactly what Tennyson was saying. Very succinct way of putting it...my answer wanders a lot more to say the same thing!
