Transmission might be it. I know knowledge translation and knowledge transfer from different, positive, contexts (i.e. in the funding world, where it is seen as being part of the public interaction of science).
Knowledge transmission is close enough to those that I'm getting the same feeling of deja vu all over again.
Thanks a lot!

Dan, Øyvind,
thanks for the interesting discussion! "Knowledge transmission" seems also to be used, and to be recognized as somewhat problematic:

One common approach is to promote the ‘transfer’ or ‘transmission’ of knowledge from one group or sector to others. This is what I call a knowledge- transmission approach. The language of ‘knowledge transmission’ can, however, sometimes imply that some people (experts) have access to important truths that need to be learned, accepted, adopted and implemented by others.
Best,

Problem is, of course, that what I am really talking about is "kunnskapsoverføring," a Norwegian term which translates quite well to "knowledge transfer" in some domains -- but maybe not in all.
This is not anything I have studies scholarly, though; it is based on experiences from my own work and what I have learned from colleagues.
Best,
Øyvind

Hmm. I hadn't thought that's it, since that's a term I know from scholarly communication research. But you'd said it was a recognised issue in development work so maybe it is. I can't find references to it except in the scholarly communication sense.
Oh well.

Dear Dan,
If I do not misremember completely is was indeed "knowledge transfer". However, often I do not know what I say, not to speak of remembering it afterwards.
Best,

Hi all,
I'm trying to remember a term that I heard Oyvind use recently to describe the situation when "experts from rich countries teach people in poor countries how to do things" (i.e. the "experts" set the agenda based on their own experience and assume that the knowledge direction is from rich to poor). This is a bad practice, even if it is done with good will.
The term he used was something like knowledge transfer or translation (though neither of those are right). I'd never heard it before but it is apparently as well-known term in international work as something that people in the area need to be aware of and attempt to avoid.
Does anybody know the term for this?
