Method of producing and using new knowledge

Abstract This paper explores the philosophical and practical dimensions of producing and using new knowledge through the concept of techné, understood as both a method and a creative act of bringing knowledge into being. Drawing from Heidegger’s interpretation of techné and Aristotle’s notion of knowledge as the foundation of human existence, the study investigates how these ideas manifest in the context of modern education and digital transformation. Using a qualitative case study of the Association of Online Educators (UONEDU), the research identifies concrete methods for producing and applying new knowledge within online conferences, training programs, and social innovations. The analysis demonstrates that even small-scale organizations can act as models of techné by generating applicable knowledge and evidence that can influence educational policy. The results highlight the role of educators as active producers of knowledge and contributors to social innovation, reaffirming the importance of methodical production as both a theoretical and practical pathway to sustainable educational development.
