In the West, educational thinkers often criticize the view that knowledge exists ready-made "outside" the mind. This paper presents a phenomenographic study comparing differences in conceptions of the mode of existence of knowledge between Swedish and Nepalese university students. Students were interviewed by means of a riddle intended to elicit their conceptions of the mode of existence of knowledge. Comparing the notions of students from two different cultures gives a picture of the aspects that influence their conceptions. In Nepal, knowledge was often seen as having a social mode of existence; in Sweden it was seen as mainly personal. This difference agrees with the collectivist character of Eastern societies, and the individualistic features of Western ones. The study also indicated that the reifying view of knowledge is perhaps not as common as its critics seem to assume, in either the East or the West. |
