But seen frorn a cognitively psychological point of view, il seerns important, as this paper clairns, to make a distinction between these two aspects of knowledge. The irnplication of this distinction for teachers or educators Iies in that it helps make clear what hurnan beings are endowed with, how differently they function, and how to adapt hurnan beings more adequatety to what are offered with, in an atternpt to help students optimize or maximize their learning results. According to the points suggested by this paper, being able to distinguish between the two types of knowledge can enhance teachers awareness of the teaching rnethods to be adopted, bring into full play more positive factors of each of the two types of knowledge, and rnay reveal some more human potentiai resources to be tapped.engjournal article
