The Experiential Knowledge Project: investigating non-traditional forms of knowledge and knowledge communication in art and design research.

英国是最早开展创意和文化产业（CCI）研究的国家之一，特别是在实践主导或基于实践的研究领域。因此，它发挥了主导作用，瑞典等其他国家一直在努力学习。然而，关于研究经费申请、成果和教育的可变质量和一致性的持续辩论表明，该领域缺乏基础研究，需要克服这些问题，以保持其领导地位。我们提出的研究计划将调查非传统知识和知识传播的特点，但有问题的领域，从而为CCI研究提供坚实的基础，并作出贡献，提高质量和一致性，并确保英国的领导地位，CCI research.This project addresses the problems that occurs for production of academic research within CCI.主要问题是创造性实践与学术要求和标准之间的关系;以及包含实践要素的研究的知识和交流的性质。将使用基于标准的方法，以便为CCI开发一个强大的学术研究本体，其中包括非传统形式的知识和通信。本体论将使CCI的学术研究的识别，区分和评价，并促进政策和战略的发展，以进一步研究，有别于专业实践，因此，该项目的目标有三个方面：分析传统的学术研究模式，并确定其基本特点;分析新兴的非传统研究模式的特点;并确定是否应在CCI的内容或如何沟通方面对CCI的主导学术研究范式进行修改。

The UK has been one of the first countries to campaign research in the creative and cultural industries (CCI), especially in the area known as practice-led or practice-based research. Thus it has taken a leading role from which other countries such as Sweden have been seeking to learn. However, ongoing debates about the variable quality and consistency of research funding applications, outcomes, and education indicate a lack of fundamental research that the field needs to overcome in order to maintain its leadership. Our proposed program of research will investigate the characteristic but problematic area of non-traditional knowledge and knowledge communication, thereby providing robust foundations for CCI research and making a contribution to improving quality and consistency of, and ensuring UK leadership in, CCI research.This project addresses the problems that arise for the production of academic research within CCI. The principal problems are the relationship between creative practice and the requirements and standards of the academy; and the nature of knowledge and communication of research that contains elements of practice. A criterion-based approach will be used so that a robust academic research ontology can be developed for CCI which includes non-traditional forms of knowledge and communication. The ontology will enable the identification, differentiation and evaluation of academic research in CCI and facilitate the development of policy and strategy for furthering research as distinct from professional practice.The aims of the project are therefore three-fold: to analyse the traditional models of research in academia and identify their fundamental characteristics; to analyse the characteristics of emerging non-traditional models of research; and to determine whether the dominant academic research paradigm should be modified for CCI either in terms of its content or in terms of how it is communicated.
