Download Integrating knowledge discovery with knowledge building

Ana Melina Vallenilla
Knowledge Discovery from Data-Mining (KDD): an
interdisciplinary area focusing upon methodologies for
extracting useful knowledge from data
But!
“The facts, events, things, concepts, models, ideas
registered and stored in databases cannot be considered
knowledge, since knowledge can reside only in human
minds continuously growing in connection with the inner
and outer worlds”
“The interpretation of the data mining results does not
lead immediately to knowledge. The developed
understanding needs to be tried out in organizational
situations such as decision-making processes”
“Organizational actors create new ideas and mental
models, reshape previous ones, redefine conceptual
linkages and develop emotional responses towards ideas
and models”
“Organizational actors create new experiences and
relationships with the surrounding reality”
KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION: THE ROLE OF DATA MINING TOOLS
Maribel Yasmina Santos & Isabel Ramos
Knowledge as collective intelligence is socially constructed
from the common understandings of people and ideas

Knowledge building
Transdisciplinarity
To reach higher and more complex levels of knowledge
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the
same level of thinking with which we created them”
Albert Eistein
Input from various other scientific disciplines and
contribution of scientists with different sets of skills are
required to come up with an optimal solution.”
(TRANSDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE METHODOLOGY, Orhan Güvenen)
Transdisciplinarity: collaboration between
disciplines
Collaboration is more than cooperation. The
action of working together with a common
objective, to produce a piece of work.
Some of the BigSkyEarth objectives
Building bridges between disciplines
Developing of a new ground for long-term collaboration
between disciplines on the topic of Big Data Science.
Incubation of new knowledge.
International networking.
Creativity in sciences!!
Creativity is the human mental phenomenon based on
the effective use of skills and mental abilities as well as
conceptual tools that originate and develop innovation,
inspiration or intuition
Imagination plays a vital role in the development of new
theories.
Karl Popper, one of the most influential philosophers of the
twentieth century
Let’s build an efficient approach!
Social constructivism
Lev Vygotsky
Social constructivism is a variety of cognitive
constructivism that emphasizes the collaborative nature
of learning.
Social constructivism also refers to an individual's
learning that takes place because of their interactions in
a group
Collaborative learning
Collaborative learning refers to methodologies and environments
in which learners engage in a common task where each
individual depends on and is accountable to each other
Learning takes place from experience and knowledge exchange
and common reworking of observed events, in facilitation
contexts
The three stages of innovation/creativity
Hermann von Helmholtz
Saturation
Incubation
Illumination
Verification, the step of the creative process when
the idea manifests itself into a reality.

How we do it!?
Group of artists use to co-create. A good example of this
are the artistic residences.
An artistic residence is a place where artists/experts,
cohabit and work together for a lapse of time, with a
common objective;
and where the following elements are present:
A facilitating context (environment, structures, tools and resources),
multidisciplinary collaboration, cohabitation of participants that
facilitates interactions and contributes to “saturation” providing enough
time to immerse deeply in the work, allow “incubation” during working
pauses. Illumination is possible!! The participants work together with a
common objective for co-creation, the “verification” stage.
Scientific residences!!!!
To do a joint work within the
BigSkyEarth project
feasibility, level of interest,
to look for ways to implement it and to design the
process, together
How?
Through a participatory process
Thank you for you attention
