Different knowledge

The knowledge societies will know to take advantage of the diversity of knowledge that can be rich, as not only the scientific knowledge can bring social improvements, but also traditional knowledge.  It is interesting that these societies have instruments for the recognition of these latter types of knowledge with the object that can be applied to human and social progress.  To this end, it is necessary to implement relevant educational processes, that traditional knowledge could be used in the practices and networks of innovation.


In this sense, it is essential to have instruments of evaluation for different types of knowledge, which is would be a source of information to determine what problems could be solved thanks to them. It is also interesting to have tools that will help us to identify the non-scientific knowledge that could be applied in education and innovation.
