Declarative knowledge refers to factual information or knowledge that can be stated or declared. It includes things that we know about objects, events, rules, or concepts. This kind of knowledge is usually easy to explain or describe, like knowing the capital of a country or understanding the steps to solve a math problem.
Full definition

on declarative knowledge (i.e., elementary knowledge or comprehension of the external world).
This might not mean I am ready to perform the action of stitching someone's wound but it is one of many cases where
strong declarative knowledge can really support expert performance (and is arguably necessary before I try stitching anything).
In the case of Cityville needing to quickly get a large team up - to - speed on the rules of cyber security and safe computing practices, the good news was that all of their training content was
declarative knowledge which is perfectly suited material for rapid mobile learning.
Similarly, the team at Cityville recognized that their Cyber Security course was
entirely declarative knowledge: Definitions of safe and unsafe actions, lists of do's and don'ts, legal policy and procedures, roles and responsibilities.
Activities such as identifying similarities and differences and error analysis are more appropriate
for declarative knowledge.
Online programs may use standardized tests that measure out - of - date skills — focusing
on declarative knowledge (facts) versus procedural, conceptual, and epistemological knowledge (application of skills, deep understanding, and methods of knowledge acquisition, respectively).
Used more often
with declarative knowledge, this strategy involves helping students to use comparison classification, analogy, and metaphor to deepen their knowledge.
But because skilled performance, like playing music or flying airplanes, requires much more than mere muscle memory, and because this patient retained it despite losing most other aspects of her declarative memory, researchers conclude this type of skill - related

Mobile learning systems like Practi, which are designed for the delivery and measurement of deliberate practice, can significantly speed up the acquisition and retention of
declarative knowledge.
The easiest description of
declarative knowledge is simply «knowledge that can be declared in spoken or written form».
Rapid mobile learning is an excellent training delivery method for the deliberate practice of
declarative knowledge (the rules of stitching), as opposed to the deliberate practice of performative skills (the actual stitching).
It was important to Cityville that their team had deep expertise in
the declarative knowledge about cyber security before they began the action of moving sensitive operations to digital.
Using learning analytics available with mobile learning, the leadership team at Cityville was able to confidently determine that a high level of competency had been achieved regarding
the declarative knowledge surrounding safe computing practices.
This is
all declarative knowledge and, with repetition, reflection, feedback and practice, I could become an expert in the declarative knowledge related to stitching people's wounds.

declarative knowledge, or knowledge which Robert Marzano defines as «informational in nature.»

This strategy promotes a canonical learning cycle where students use the scientific method continually to refine their mental models through the development of procedural knowledge,
declarative knowledge, and assumptions about the focus concept (Oliver & Hannafin, 2001).
After the initial interaction with new knowledge, research indicates that we need to determine whether it is
declarative knowledge or procedural knowledge.
