tacit knowledge  

Definición

  • Tacit knowledge is a term concerned with the nature of human knowing and was first introduced by the Hungarian scientist and philosopher Michael Polanyi (1891–1976). His radical idea is summed up in the bold claim that ‘all knowledge is either tacit or rooted in tacit knowledge’. The relevance to action research is that Polanyi is offering a basis for theorizing human action that involves implicit knowledge, skill, know-how and so on.
