I need to know whether there is any technical term to refer to the specific knowledge and ability which is used to transfer the knowledge itself; i.e. I am looking for a (perhaps) technical term that is used as a reference to a successful teacher assuming the fact that they are quite knowledgeable to teach a particular subject matter, however they have the knowledge of knowledge transfer too. Is there any technical or non-technical term to refer to this ability? I mean knowledge of knowledge transfer in English?

Added:
The former 'knowledge' in "knowledge of knowledge transfer", is a sort of art. In other words, the art of knowledge transfer, which in turn, can be called a knowledge itself.
I needed to discover whether there is any particular term as a reference to this art or not! I think there should be something in language teaching terminology, since I heard something once; I cannot remember what that was though!

    "Knowledge of knowledge" is epistemology. "Knowledge of knowledge transfer" sounds like teaching to me. Or pedagogy if you're looking for a 50-cent word.

  • Is there a reason you didn't consider the word teach? It seems odd that that well written question such as yours belongs to someone unfamiliar with the word teach. You even use teach in the question. Can you add any details to your question on why teach hasn't been considered as the answer? Has teach lost its zing?

  • Thank you @Lambie. You seem to be close to the term in my question; however, how can we intensify such a phrase? Perhaps, "S/he knows well how to effectively transfer knowledge" or something. That being said, it sounds a little wordy and even stilted somehow! I am wondering how we can moderate it, or rather, how would you phrase it in a more elegant way?

    The term knowledge transfer has been around for ages, and comes from the field of developmental economics. In any case, what I said does not sound stilted.
