New knowledge, Digital transformation, The way new knowledge is obtainedAbstract
Knowledge can be understood in multiple ways and similarly, knowledge types and what it means to know something can be described in different ways. The Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science in the Ministerial Order on Academy Profession and Professional Bachelor Study Programmes describes the type of knowledge which, according to the Ministry, students must have obtained at graduation. Overall, these types of knowledge must represent new knowledge. It is unknown if new knowledge and the way knowledge is obtained are affected by the digital transformation. The purpose of this study was to investigate how students and educators understand the concept of new knowledge as well as how and through which channels they search for new knowledge.The results of the study showed that understanding of the concept of new knowledge was similar among both students and educators. Moreover, students and educators did not believe the definition of the concept of new knowledge was affected by the digital transformation. There were no major differences in the way students and educators searched for and gathered new knowledge. It seems that searchstrategies among students and educators have changed during the past 10 years; this may be partly explained by the digital transformation.
