ACMS Speaker Series
Relevance of Meaningful Learning and Knowledge Building among Mongol Pastoral Communities
Speaker: Dr. Batkhishig Baival

5:30 PM, Tuesday - March 10th, 2015, American Corner, Ulaanbaatar public library

Mongolia’s political structure, climate, livelihood and environment are changing. Yet nomadic herding is still a central way of life. This pastoral system has resisted change or adapted as herders learn and combine different sources and types of knowledge. Research has found there are five knowledge sources used by herders for informed pasture management. Understanding how knowledge is communicated by different knowledge sources ensures easy access to the information they can provide, maximizing what can be learnt and ensuring successful communication.
