Metaknowledge

Metaknowledge or meta-knowledge is knowledge about a preselected knowledge. For the reason of different definitions of knowledge in the subject matter literature, meta-information is or is not included in meta-knowledge. Detailed cognitive, systemic and epistemic study of human knowledge requires a distinguishing of these concepts. but in the common language knowledge includes information, and, for example, bibliographic data are considered as a meta-knowledge. Metaknowledge may be automatically harvested from electronic publication archives, to reveal patterns in research, relationships between researchers and institutions and to identify contradictory results.[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Pyramide des besoins de Maslow Pyramide des besoins Théorie de Maslow[modifier | modifier le code] Présentation générale[modifier | modifier le code] C'est en 1970, dans la deuxième édition de son ouvrage Motivation and Personality, qu'apparaît l'exposé le plus complet de sa théorie de la motivation. Les besoins s'inscriraient dans le cadre d'une hiérarchie. En conclusion, lorsqu'un groupe de besoins est satisfait un autre va progressivement prendre la place selon l'ordre hiérarchique suivant : besoins physiologiques > besoins de sécurité > besoins d'appartenance et d'amour > besoins d'estime > besoins d'accomplissement de soi. Remarque : lorsqu'un besoin précédent n'est plus satisfait, il redevient prioritaire.
