The Process of Formation Knowledge in Humans
The Knowledge Process of a person is basically a concept. The concept the individual takes as a result interacts with the environment. By having a concept can be arranged a principle, so it can be used as a basis for thinking.
Concepts are studied as components of human cognition in the cognitive science disciplines of linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, where an ongoing debate asks whether all cognition must occur through concepts. Concepts are used as formal tools or models in mathematics, computer science, databases and artificial intelligence where they are sometimes called classes, schema or categories. In informal use, the word concept often just means any idea, but formally it involves the abstraction component. Concepts are sometimes known by other names in everyday language such as "kinds", "types" or "sorts", as in "an oak is a kind of tree", or "this object is a kind of tree"
The Concept defined as something has a characteristics, forms, signs or attributes of an object, that relatively easy to recognize for human senses. Examples of concepts such as color concept. Because of not only one, the color has a definition like red, green and so forth, then its shape and so forth.
Knowledge is a familiar, awareness, or understanding of something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
The knowledge can be own by someone from any source, the faith-based on general, experience, thinking, and individual.
The concept has a definition as something that can be understood by definition, so its figure is abstract. For example, concepts such as population, ovulation, and so on. Then the individual develops his own understanding when they receive an input from this sensor.
In the formation of knowledge involves thinking activities:
Cognitive development as The emergence of knowledge and innate abilities, this theory argues that we build our cognitive abilities through actions that are self-motivated to the environment.
For the development of this theory, Piaget obtained the Erasmus Prize. Piaget divides the scheme that the child uses to understand his world through four major periods that correlate with an increasingly sophisticated with age:
Sensory period motor (age 0-2 years)
Preoperational period (ages 2-7 years)
Concrete operational period (7-11 years of age)
Formal operational period (11 years old to adulthood)
according to above reference aspect of a child, thinking depends on the scheme. Because child understands something affects the age factor. that is the correlation with an increasingly sophisticated condition and with age, a typical pattern of child behavior that reflected of response to provides various problems or situations it faces.
The Glance to behavior seen it a reflection of intellectual activity. Because the content differs from age to age and one child to another. The content determined by a cognitive structure called a scheme. The cognitive structure is the facts, concepts, and generalizations that exist in one's mind.
If we touch the problem structure refers to the natural scheme, that explaining about certain behaviors. The scheme is the basis for thinking, to do a logical action, or to understand something. Then the function is a way that the organism uses to make its intellectual progress. where the close influence of formation process of knowledge in individuals. The cognitive structure that determines the development of knowledge. Then the concepts of the results that are in his mind. With the concept of allowing individuals to think things through adaptation, both assimilation, and accommodation, then the results are systematized by the classification process resulting in a new structure. With this structure will produce a pattern of behavior that looks and priceless.
Thus it can be understood that the form of knowledge is the physical knowledge, knowledge of calculating logic, and social knowledge. Physical knowledge includes the knowledge of things and their properties, whereas the calculating logic is abstracted from the action, the coordination of the activity rather than the source of the object itself, the source of calculating logical knowledge is the thinking process of the individual itself. While in the process of forming calculating logic is to organize behavior into behavior patterns or more logical actions through modification of cognitive structure action.
Then how about social knowledge occurs from the interaction and the relationship between humans and humans. If the Individual does not make a relationship then it is impossible to obtain social knowledge without interacting with other human beings. This knowledge is the basis of a social covenant, a covenant or custom made by humans himself.
How individual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by others. Psychologically oriented researchers emphasize the new social situation and social interaction between a person and the situation variable.
So, because individual development can form a distinctive personality of the individual also interact in the social environment. Social development in a child is also very influential on the social environment. It can be understood that the environment in which a person lives is a social development. In other words, non-formal education.
It should be underlined the physical knowledge and knowledge of calculating logic is not directly and instantly transferred from the mind of an educator to the educated person. Because this two knowledge cannot be moved spontaneously. This requires a process of interaction, and each person must build his own knowledge.
Conclusion
The formation of knowledge and evolving to one according to the habits that are taking place in daily life. The process of the formation of knowledge in a person is a period that occurs at the age level, and each period displays certain characteristics in the development of knowledge. The forms of knowledge are physical knowledge, knowledge of logic calculation, and knowledge of the social environment. Cognitive ability very influential to the ability in the development of knowledge.
