knowledge social practices

Knowledge social practices are the shared ways people communicate, behave, and organize themselves around what they collectively know. They include norms, routines, and interactions that shape how knowledge is created, validated, and used within a community or society. For example, how scientists share findings or how students collaborate in a classroom are social practices that influence knowledge. These practices help ensure that knowledge is transmitted accurately and efficiently and are essential for maintaining trust and coherence in social groups. Essentially, they are the social "rules" and customs that guide how knowledge is exchanged and applied.
