    For students, educators play a pivotal role in identifying and explaining the knowledge that can guide social work practice.

The knowledge spectrum framework is an innovative tool that was developed to explain the possibilities of what can inform social work practice. As a tool, it can be utilized to show that knowledge use in practice is a dynamic process, illustrating that knowledge can be created, modified and discarded by practitioners. The framework can also be utilized to capture the complexity of knowledge used by recognizing both the tacit (unconscious) and explicit (conscious) domains, thereby identifying different knowledge use possibilities. Strengthening students' and/or practitioners' ability to recognize and identify the basis of their professional behaviour is critical for clear, knowledge-guided practice.
