knowledgeintended

Knowledgeintended is a term used to describe the knowledge a communicator aims to transmit to an audience. It encompasses the goals, scope, level of detail, and framing the author intends the audience to acquire.

The concept distinguishes between what is conveyed and what the audience actually understands.

In pedagogy and information design, knowledgeintended informs curriculum design, learning objectives, and content alignment. Designers articulate the knowledgeintended to ensure activities, assessments, and explanations target the same goals.

Challenges include misinterpretation, representation gaps, and cognitive load. Assessing knowledgeintended requires evaluation of outcomes against stated objectives.

It relates to related ideas such as intended audience, instruction alignment, and fidelity in communication. In practice, knowledgeintended is a lens to examine whether knowledge transfer succeeds.
