I am specifically talking about knowledge utilisation theory, not other knowledge-to-action theories. If you know about this theory and can check my understanding below that would be great! Thanks.
* Knowledge utilisation theory has its roots at the nexus between science and philosophy and is sometimes regarded as the umbrella knowledge-to-action theory.
* Knowledge utilisation theory is interested in whether knowledge is used instrumentally, symbolically, conceptually, or any mix of these utilisation types.
* Evaluating knowledge use from a knowledge utilisation lens involves looking at individual users versus organisational use, and exploring organisational contextual influences such as timing, resources, social conditions, power, politics, support for evaluation, and communication patterns.
* Knowledge utilisation seeks to understand what type of use is occurring – for example, whether the utilisation of knowledge manifests quickly into practice demonstrating the value placed on improvement and change, or whether the utilisation of knowledge slowly constructs deeper understanding over time.
I do not know much about the topic but hopefully the attached article is of assistance.
Thank you both! Especially Michael for confirming I'm on the right track!
Yes you have done a great job, just that the proponent of the theory is not stated. Thanks
