Types of Information
According to J.H. Shera, information may be categorized into six types:-
CONCEPTUAL INFORMATION: - The ideas, theories, hypothesis about the relationship which exists among the variables in the area of a problem.
EMPERIAL INFORMATION: - Experience the data of research may be drawn from one’s self or through communication from others. It may be cab oratory generated or it may be a product of the ‘Literature search’.
PROCULTURAL ONFORMATION: - the methodology which enable the investigator to operate more effectively. Procedural information relates the means by which the data of investigation is obtained, manipulated and tested, it is certainly methodological and from it has been derived the scientific attitude. The communication of procedural information from one discipline or field of investigation to another may illuminate vast shadows of human ignorance.
STIMULATORY INFORMATION- Man must be motivated and there are but two source of such motivation, himself and his environment. Stimulatory information that is transmitted by directcommunication, the contagious enthusiasm of another individual but whether direct or indirect communication it is fortuitous by nature, it submits unwillingly to direct or
compulsion.
POLICY INFORMATION: - this is the focus of the decision making process. Collective activity necessitates the definition and objective and purpose, the fixing of responsibility, the definition of rights and privileges and the delineation of functions.
DIRECTIVE INFORMATION: - Group activity cannot proceed effectively without coordination, and it is through directive information that this co-ordination is achieved.
