Download or read book Collaborative Knowledge Creation written by Anne Moen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents perspectives on the knowledge creation metaphor of learning, and elaborates the trialogical approach to learning. The knowledge creation metaphor differs from both the acquisition and the participation metaphors. In a nutshell trialogical approaches seek to engage learners in joint work with shared objects and artefacts mediated by collaboration technology. The theoretical underpinnings stem from different origins, including Bereiter and Scardamalia’s theory on knowledge building and Engeström’s activity theory. The authors in this collection introduce key concepts and techniques, explain tools designed and developed to support knowledge creation, and report results from case studies in specific contexts. The book chapters integrate theoretical, methodological, empirical and technological research, to elaborate the empirical findings and to explain the design of the knowledge creation tools. The target audiences for this book are researchers, teachers and Human Resource developers interested in new perspectives on collaborative learning, technology-mediated knowledge creation, and applications of this in their own settings, for higher education, teacher training and workplace learning. The book is the result of joint efforts from many contributors who took part in the Knowledge-practices Laboratory (KP-Lab) project (2006-2011) supported by EU FP6.

Download or read book Team Learning Systems as a Collaborative Technology for Rapid Knowledge Creation Whitepaper written by Robert Fitzgerald and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This whitepaper outlines the development and use of the Zing team learning system (TLS) and suggests this tool represents a new breed of collaborative tool for the development of useable knowledge arising from group learning and problem solving. A key feature of this tool is that it scaffolds the learner's use of the thinking and decision making processes and encourages them to develop facilitation skills. With these skills they are able to self-facilitate workshops to create their own new knowledge. In this process they are given the opportunity to experience and re-invent the world of mathematicians, writers, artists and scientists through real-time public experimentation, dialogue, critique and debate. Groups that work and learn this way quickly develop a sense of community, engagement and self-worth they deem preferable to the boredom, anxiety and alienation they often experience in the conventional classroom. Most importantly these new forms of tools provide users with new contexts for thinking: contexts that have the potential to increase individual and community capacity.

Download or read book Developing Third Generation Learning Organizations written by Kazimierz Gozdz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future belongs to organizations with active knowledge-creating, agile individuals and cultures. Research has shown that such cultures emerge when people are developing their skills and capabilities, and that the greatest catalyst for human development is the maturity level of the institutions of which they are part. At the same time, history has demonstrated that, to become such an organization, leaders need to first undergo their own personal transformation and embrace the ambiguity and uncertainty of the current and foreseeable business environment. They then need to support similar transformation across other levels of the organization. This book offers both the theory and methodology needed to implement such development, along with case studies that highlight key steps in the process. Drawing on the theoretical and methodological work of Peter Senge, Michael Ray, Willis Harman, Michael Polanyi, Scott Peck, and others, it outlines a process for developing and maintaining an organization in which the development of people leads to enhanced profitability.

Download or read book Enabling Success Through Learning and Knowledge Sharing written by Adam Krob and Emily Dunn and published by Association for Talent Development. This book was released on 2014-07-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for knowledge is increasing every day, as is the sheer volume of knowledge that is available to an organization and its team members. At the same time, organizations are facing the retirement of significant numbers of their knowledge workers. These realities are making it critical to reduce time to competency. To bring team members up to speed quickly and help them work independently, the learning and knowledge teams must work together effectively. This issue of TD at Work will: • Provide an overview of the current situation of how learning and knowledge management teams work together. • Identify key forces driving both teams to change. • Present a strategy for building a partnership focused on delivering faster time to competency.
Download or read book Work team Knowledge Conversion an Interdisciplinary Approach written by Ross Leadbetter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work-team is understood to have the potential to develop and sustain high-performing, modern organizations through the knowledge conversion process. This process includes an effective work-team that learns and creates knowledge, and then converts knowledge for use by the team and the larger organization in a process of continuous improvement. There is literature that questions the work-team and its potential to be highly effective, however, and which informs the problem, purpose, and central research question. Other literature related to work-teams is given coherence through a conceptual synthesis, and is critically analyzed. This dissertation asks how and why work-teams in four organizations are enabled or constrained to use the knowledge conversion process for continuous improvement. A conceptual framework constructed of the four orientations of effective teams and knowledge creation theory was used to guide the research process. Research was conducted in each of for-profit, non-profit, education, and government settings. Several aspects of work-team functioning were reported by participants, and supported through document analysis and field notes, as being enabling and / or constraining to the knowledge conversion process. Enabling elements include: the four orientations of effective teams (relational, ends, process, learning) and elements of knowledge creation theory. Constraints include: conditions or actions that oppose a relational, ends, process, or learning orientation, and conditions that oppose the tenets of knowledge creation theory. The discussion presents representative responses, documentation, and field notes which give context to the enabling and constraining functions of each work-team. Critical realism is utilized as the methodology of this research, and illuminates the stratified reality of the work-team context, including four modes of reality: materially, ideally, artifactually, and socially real. The four orientations of effective work-teams, knowledge creation theory, and critical realism are found to be useful tools for the establishment and development of an effective work-team knowledge conversion process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and updated edition of Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge recognizes that the future of economic well being in today's knowledge and information society rests upon the effectiveness of schools and corporations to empower their people to be more effective learners and knowledge creators. Novak’s pioneering theory of education presented in the first edition remains viable and useful. This new edition updates his theory for meaningful learning and autonomous knowledge building along with tools to make it operational ─ that is, concept maps, created with the use of CMapTools and the V diagram. The theory is easy to put into practice, since it includes resources to facilitate the process, especially concept maps, now optimised by CMapTools software. CMapTools software is highly intuitive and easy to use. People who have until now been reluctant to use the new technologies in their professional lives are will find this book particularly helpful. Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge is essential reading for educators at all levels and corporate managers who seek to enhance worker productivity.
