“…Generally speaking, the knowledge of lighting designers is considered to be of the tacit type of knowledge [12]. Tacit knowledge is a set of 'know-how' skills that are hard to articulate in formal language, as they contain subjective insights, intuitions and hunches, and are transferred usually by observation, imitation and practice without verbalization [13,14]. Due to its implicit nature, tacit knowledge in the field of lighting is typically shared only among colleagues who work in the same film/program through faceto-face interactions [15].…”

This study investigated the knowledge resources informing television and film lighting design practice in Egypt and the value of suggesting scientific recommendations to be followed. A questionnaire was circulated among a considerable number of professional lighting designers, lighting directors, directors of photography and cameramen working in the Egyptian media industry. Most of those addressed by the survey indicated that their main knowledge resource during their work is likely to be their own past experience. Very few of them depend on the recommendations of scientific research. Moreover, critical analysis of the collected data showed that there is limited academic research in the discipline of lighting design available for Egyptian television and film practitioners to benefit from. It was concluded that the discipline of lighting design needs more scientific research to establish a database of findings, theories and paradigms just as any other design discipline.

“…Chomsky, ). Some commentators think that tacit knowledge can be captured in propositions and applied to computer‐based expert systems, while others deny this but hold that some form of contextual but discursive articulation should be possible (Gascoigne and Thornton, ). Our view is that tacit knowledge is an aspect of know‐how which is beyond articulation, although some transfer might be possible through exemplification, imitation and practice (see also Hutchinson and Read, ).…”

Knowing ‘Wh’ and Knowing How: Constructing Professional Curricula and Integrating Epistemic Fields

Much of the debate on the nature of knowing how has been concerned with whether it is to be conceived of as an ability (know‐how or KH) or as the possession of propositional knowledge (KT), perhaps in a practical form. Comparatively little has been written about knowing wh (KWh) constructions and the ways in which they do or do not fit into this debate. Do such debates have any bearing on the practical concerns of the educators of professionals? This paper considers the case of Knowing Wh constructions and their epistemic status with reference to their use in professional contexts. The argument to be developed is that KT and KH are distinct but closely related epistemic abilities and that in assessing professional capacity we often find them together as part of an overall professional competence. The use of KWh constructions in professional settings supports this contention, as they can occur as cases of both KT and KH, depending on context. The claim is illustrated by examining and interpreting KWh constructions in professional qualifications and interpreting them in the context of what is required to make sense of them as elements of qualifications.
