The construction of one’s knowledge
and ideas is subject to social structure and culture. According to the analysis
of principles of sociology of knowledge, the mission of Open University of
China is building a knowledge system. In light of the path to acquiring objective realism
and subject constructionism, teacher knowledge covers practical knowledge and
theoretical knowledge. Based on the analysis of sociology of knowledge, the
teachers of Open University of China should be equipped with modern educational
technology knowledge, subject knowledge, adult education knowledge, TPACK (Technological Pedagogical
Content Knowledge), project management knowledge and so on.
