Knowledge management and information and communication technologies: some lessons learned for education

Abstract

Knowledge Management (KM) is an almost nonexistent topic in the pedagogical framework, which is paradoxical, given education�s affinity with the construction, conservation, assimilation, and dissemination of knowledge, especially regarding the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). A literature review of 103 studies about KM was undertaken in order to identify relationships with ICT and possible applications in higher education teaching practices. Results show that the current way of understanding KM facilitate its application to the design of teaching strategies.

La Gesti�n del Conocimiento (GC) es un tema casi inexistente en el �mbito pedag�gico, lo cual es parad�jico, dada su afinidad con la construcci�n, conservaci�n y difusi�n del conocimiento, especialmente relacionadas con el uso de las Tecnolog�as de la Informaci�n y la Comunicaci�n (TIC). Al respecto, se realiz� una revisi�n de 103 estudios sobre GC para identificar sus posibles aplicaciones en las pr�cticas de ense�anza en educaci�n superior. Los resultados muestran que la forma actual de entender la GC facilita su aplicaci�n al dise�o de estrategias de ense�anza.
