| Post subject: | A Quick Question on English Stuff |
From an academic writing point of view, what would "state of knowledge" and "knowledge deficit" be? I haven't been able to find a clear definition on google, nor have I been able to make sense of how exactly they're used so just wondering if anyone knows what these two phrases mean. |

I think state of knowledge is how intellectual you are, and knowledge deficit means someone that haves a lack of intellect. IDK, that's what I think it is, English is not even my first language, so you'd better wait for someone else who knows more. |

They're more likely to be defined in whatever text you're using than they are in a universal sense. Defecit of Knowledge is definitely "not knowing something" or "knowing less than others", but State of Knowledge could be many different things. |

Let's do a quick examination of the words used here. State: The particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time: "the state of the company's finances" Knowledge: information and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. now state of knowledge from examination I'm guessing would probably mean how much you know of a certain subject at a particular time. Knowledge Deficit would probably mean you are lacking in a subjects knowledge, because knowledge proficient would mean you are intelligent about a subject, if this does not explain your question could you please let me know what you are using it for, or who you got it from? |
