What are Bourdieu's three forms of knowledge?

Bourdieu identified three sources of cultural capital: objective, embodied and institutionalised.

• Objective: cultural goods, books, works of art.
• Embodied: language, mannerisms, preferences.
• Institutionalised: qualifications, education credentials.
• Technical: marketable skills, e.g. IT.

How do you apply theoretical knowledge into practice?

High-fidelity simulation can be used to allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to practice in a safe and realistic environment. Results of this study indicate that simulation is a valuable learning experience and bridges the gap between theory and practice.

What are the theoretical facts of knowledge?

Theoretical knowledge is a knowledge of why something is true. A set of true affirmations (factual knowledge) does not necessarily explain anything. In order to explain something, it is necessary to state why these truths are true. An explanation is required.

What are theoretical practices?

As we stated above theoretical practice is the transformation of raw materials (raw information) into a final product (knowledge) through the application in a difficult process of production with specific tools (methodology, a conceptual system).
