How does data become knowledge and finally wisdom?
Data is raw, have no definitive meaning, it can exist in any form usable or unusable in its original
state. Therefore, for any data to become information it must be processed and analyzed in a
format that people can understand which is information that we can understand and use. That
understanding of the information becomes knowledge. Knowledge is defined as a “collection of
information that is using facts and skills acquired by a person through experience or education;
the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject” Merriam Dictionary (2018). Knowledge
was gain from information is transition to wisdom the ability to reach intelligent conclusions on
topic, concept or information.
Knowledge acquisition is the ability to obtain knowledge for example; as a student in the
classroom, I am thought of how to take a manual blood pressure, preform patient assessment. So
during my clinical rotation, I am required to perform manual blood pressures and assess patient,
therefore, my ability to perform manual blood pressures and conduct patient assessment shows
that I have acquired that knowledge.
