Knowledge Integration

Constructivist and Situated Learning Theories

Knowledge integration is the process of synthesizing multiple knowledge models, or representations, into a single common model. It differs from information integration by focusing on synthesizing an understanding of a given subject from different perspectives, rather than simply merging different data schemas.
