In the traditional sense (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

Skill - the ability to do something that comes from training, experience, or practice

Knowledge - awareness of something : the state of being aware of something

In connection with teaching knowledge transfer means a simple transfer of information like reading a book, delivering lectures, etc.

In the case of skill, need to make sure that the student practices with proper mental and physical attitudes.

Both require specific skill on the part of the skill, while for knowledge information delivery becomes important where as for skill it is the individual person skills become far more important.

"A skill is being able to do something whereas knowledge is knowing about or understanding something." Look at the pottery example in the following page! 

http://www.creativityandlanguages.com/2011/06/the-difference-between-skills-and-knowledge-and-why-this-matters-in-language-learning/

 Humans' knowledge can be defined as a complex product of learning process which is partly theoretical and practical. Theoretical knowledge means to own concepts, definitions, rules, principles and theories while practical (operative) knowledge includes abilities, skills as well as rutines and habits. 

Regarding to learning success we usually use repetition as method to pick up theoretical knowledge but to teach operative knowledge, there are lot of activities (exercises) applied.

Some of the skills needed today are critical thinking, communication,technology,literacy and collaboration are required for success in everyday life and job! More about  Learning and Innovation Skills can be found in the following reading!

There is an old distinction  in Philosophy between "knowing how" and "knowing that" which roughly equates with "knowledge" and "skill" as used here.

"Knowing how" amounts to *doing* something in a practical sense. One can know how to ride a bicycle for example. "knowing that" is knowing theoretical information: for example, the knowledge that steady downward pressure on pedals with the feet whilst in an vertical position produces motion along axial plane. One can *know* one without knowing the other: one can clearly *know* how to ride a bike without  any *knowing that* about how bike-riding works. (More clearly: one can know how to drive a car, without *knowing that* about the processes of combusion in an engine.)

It is a peculiar thing that skills (*knowing how*) require dispositions  to be implemented but  theoretical knowing (*knowing that*) does not. One can have the skill of being able to play the piano for example, but one might not be disposed to do so. This renders the skill fairly useless and unrealised. However, one can still know some theoretical fact even if one is not disposed to do so. *Knowledge that* is a kind of knowledge that does not necessarily require an outward display of proficiency. (A person might not want to display their knowledge of a fact, but they still *know* it, whereas if a person is not disposed to display a skill it is not really clear that they are , in fact, skillful.)

The latter has implications for teaching. To teach skills you need to foster a disposition to want to use the skill. Students need encouragement to be the possessors of a skill. However, to teach facts you don't necessarily need to teach the associated disposition to be appraised of those facts.

Knowledge refers to learning concepts, principles and information regarding a particular subject(s) and gaining theoretical acquaintance through sources whereas skill refers to the ability of using that information and applying it in a context. In other words, knowledge refers to theory and skill refers to successfully applying that theory in practice and getting expected results. As far as teaching methodology is concerned it is a flow of information between teachers and students and a teacher having thorough knowledge of the subject and excellent imparting skills makes the process seamless and effective to the students.

Knowledge is embedded in skills in that every skill has a metadata of knowledge in nature. Skills can be applied upon an act without necessarily an accumulated knowledge. PISA or TIMMS related exams apply such skill-based assessments for  some time. They provide all the information and the related relationships (aka knowledge) within the question and ask the learners to apply certain cognitive skills (such as inferences, etc.). Skills and knowledge have many types and performance skills, such as Martin Davies portrays in riding a bike, are easier to recognize than cognitive and affective skills. If you like to have a look and discuss the cognitive skills more in detail, I would like to share the following pub. Thanks

A skill is being able to do something whereas knowledge is knowing about or understanding something.

Knowledge is information processed by humans and put together contextually.

Knowledge is the mental ability to get the job done, skill is the talent to pull it off.

I may have the knowledge how to extract DNA, but I may not possess enough skill to do it fast and efficiently.

I feel knowledge is understood information. Understanding related to information for an individual on the other hand may be regarded as establishing correlations with the previous knowledge. Teaching related to knowledge will therefore mean to help the students to establish such correlations. Please correct me if I am wrong. Can we have similar idea about skill – something related to previous skill(s)?

all is a concept overall. When performances are concerned, new classifications emerge. Depending on the type of activity, it is better to conceptualize it as knowledge or even deeper: procedural or declarative knowledge, or cognitive or motor skill. I believe if we start with the notion of concept, and extend it depending on its contextual applications, learners will be better grasp the difference.

I believe the difference is found in "craft" -- skill being the actual interaction between the material and the knowledge; knowledge being latent in the interaction, skill being the expression of knowledge.

Relating concept with knowledge is OK but can we always relate skill with a concept.

In Short Skill is the kind of Knowledge used to convert in to money.

According to Peter Drucker, unused knowledge evaporates while unused skill rusts. 

I agree with colleagues: skill is the ability to use knowledge in practice (not to gain money only).

Shortly, Knowledge: "I know what the term weight mean, and i iknow the weight of my hammer"

Skill: "I can hammer a nail| :)

The difficulty is  advancing technologies of automation are making everyone, including pilots glorified computer operators. Traditional hunters  start using  GPS, forgetting their skills! So the duty of the teacher is to keep himself updated with advances in knowledge and in turn upgrading the knowledge of the students; and helping the students to constantly polish their skills  in tune with advances in technologies. Essence is in domesticating the technology, not domesticated by the technology! 

Knowledge is the ability to think about objects, events, symbols. Knowledge gained through education, training, and experience, acquired intentionally and unintentionally, consciously or unconsciously. Skill is the ability to use that knowledge to solve problems. The skill form can look like the ability to play the piano, and can not look like an accountant is thinking of solving a problem.

My dear friend @Eraldo has very related thread which has 3764 answers and many, many resources on knowledge and skills.

I do warmly suggest this discussion room!

Knowledge refers to familiarity with information and theoretical concepts. Skill, however, refer to the ability to apply knowledge to specific situations.

The words describe the competence of a person are "knowledge and skill". At first sight, they seem to be synonymous with each other but with some thinking they realize that each is a different concept.

A). Knowledge refers to the theoretical information acquired on any subject while skills are the practical application of that knowledge.

B). Knowledge can be learned while skills require practical exercise and can also be latent in personality.

C). In the end, both knowledge and skill are required to master the field of study. Knowledge and practice are those who create a skilled person in his field.

Sir,

Knowledge refers to the individual learning concepts, principles and information on a particular subject through books, media, encyclopedias, academic institutions and other sources.

Skill refers to the ability to use that information and apply it in the field. In other words, knowledge refers to the theory and skills suggest to apply this theory successfully in practice and obtain the expected results
