Title: Eurythmics, and building boats -A study in tacit knowledge.The education of eurhythmics at Malmö Academy of Music, is a program where a major part of the tutoring is oral; very little written information about the method is used. This essay will examine the forms in which the current knowledge base exists, as well as the methods in which this information is transmitted from teacher to student, and in which form the knowledge about the method of eurhythmics is existing. The tools for analysis are the theories on tacit knowledge. Interviews and written surveys are used as qualitative research methods. The content of these interviews and surveys are presented in the results chapter. Thereafter follows a discussion on the consequences of using an oral tradition as a major part of the teaching method, as well as how the transmission of knowledge and experience takes place. The consequences of Western attitudes towards knowledge, especially in educational settings, will also be emphasized.
