Why would you draw a distinction between knowledge transfer and knowledge
creation/discovery? Do you think that the way the paper addresses the
problem of knowledge somehow fails to make this distinction clear? As for
my side, I am sorry that the paper was not edited by a native speaker and
it may have article or syntax problems but rather rarely a vocabulary
error (an edited version is on its way to Kinshuk:-). So if you do feel
that the paper fails to articulate the distinction between the two forms
of pedagogic approaches (as you probably mean it), I am sure that the
forum would be interested very much in a yet another perspective on
things.
