A R&I&i process for a knowledge management system development is presented. It transforms different institutions experiences into organisational knowledge applicable to an entire sector, the higher education one specifically. The knowledge management system allows classifying, organising, distributing and facilitating the application of the knowledge generated by the faculty. A study, with more than 1000 system users, reflects that the system helps to the faculty in the way they perform educational innovation activities. The supported model integrates both Nonaka's epistemological and ontological spirals. This allows defining ontologies and used them in order to transform the individual knowledge into organisational one. The knowledge management system encapsulates complex logic expressions and ontologies management, making easy for the users obtaining successful results that may organise in their own way, becoming a powerful knowledge management process that combines epistemological and ontological knowledge spirals to convert individual experiences in educational innovation into organisational knowledge in the higher education sector.

Rapid Application Development

This study aims to design a system of teaching materials to improve teacher competence, especially pedagogical competence and professional competence through knowledge management system (KMS). The method used is research and development. System development method using rapid application development (RAD). The study was conducted on MTS teachers in South Tangerang city. KMS can be used as a means of sharing teaching materials between teachers. Where each teacher has a personal account and the teacher can upload and upload learning materials to the website, upload test questions, exam questions, vary the exam questions that will be issued during the exam, and discuss in forums with other teachers. The result of this research is to design and build web teaching material system as learning resource to improve pedagogic competence and professional competence of Mts. SeTangerang Selatan teachers. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang suatu sistem bahan ajar dan meningkatkan kompetensi guru, khususnya kompetensi pedagogik dan kompetensi profesional melalui sistem manajemen pengetahuan (KMS). Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian dan pengembangan. Metode pengembangan sistem menggunakan rapid application development (RAD). Penelitian dilakukan pada guru MTS di Kota Tangerang Selatan.

Knowledge Management Processes

With digital transformation and progress in science, developing process capabilities with limited resources has gained immense importance for higher education institutions. To provide the highest quality education services and manage the information and knowledge management processes, appropriate strategies, and related key performance management factors must be defined efficiently. In the literature, numerous models and tools have been proposed to measure knowledge management capabilities (Mohapatra et al., 2016; Imran et al., 2017; Dayan et al., 2017; Trivella et al., 2015). This chapter aims to develop a better understanding of the relationship between knowledge management processes and propose an assessment model of knowledge management system for higher education institutions to measure knowledge resources and their capabilities. To do so, the knowledge management system is identified by four main attributes (People, Processes, Technology and Culture) and each attribute is comprehensively analysed in a dedicated section.

Field Notes

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the complexities emerging in the attempts to develop a sophisticated IT-based knowledge management system (KMS) for sharing knowledge. Using actor-network theory, the authors conceptualise this as continuous processes of translation, whereby heterogeneous human and non-human (e.g. technologies, methods and plans) elements are drawn together and mobilised to produce stable networks through associations between them. Design/methodology/approach – The case study method was adopted using a narrative approach that studies the ways of organising work in organisations. Shadowing, field notes, diary studies and participant observation were the main data collection methods used. Findings – The development and introduction of a KMS is a contingent and local process shaped by messy translations whereby the original idea, human and other non-human elements are reconfigured. By considering humans and non-humans symmetrically, the intended and unintended actions, and the role of unexpected events, this approach overcomes the deterministic view of human nature of the conventional KMS approaches. Research limitations/implications – A conceptual framework is presented as a means to improve the understanding of the complex associations emerging within networks of people, objects and machines during the development and introduction of KMS. Practical implications – The translation approach helps practitioners to consider their taken-for-granted assumptions about people, machines and the associations among them. This assists practitioners to uncover emerging conflicting issues between human and machines, among machines and among humans. Furthermore, this allows practitioners to recognise the different identities humans and non-humans take, overtime, as a result of emerging associations. Originality/value – The originality of this paper lies in the use of alternative conceptual lenses to understand KMS development and introduction as processes of translation. Additionally, rather than exploring the success stories, it focuses on a failed attempt to introduce a KMS.

Smart Learning

The purposeof the study is to develop an approach to improve information support for the development of the contents of higher education programs and teaching methodological materials. The system of higher education faces the challenges of supporting the development of the digital economy through training and research. Creating the appropriate content of education becomes a difficult task with the high rate of development of digital technologies and methods to use them. Now, in smart learning, the technical aspects of the organization of the educational process often overshadow aspects, related to the methodology or content of smart learning. However, the issues of the content of education become most relevant. Research in the field of knowledge management remain relevant because, the more perfect the technologies become, that notice the algorithmized work of specialists, the higher the value of creativity for society and the economy.Materials and methodsof research include discourse analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources devoted to the issues of smart education and knowledge management, the systematization of the material. Methodological basis for developing an approach to improve information support is the methods and technologies of the theory of knowledge management.The resultsof the research show that the need for the development of the digital economy places high demands not only for technologies, but also primarily on the competencies for their use. The logic of IT development in education indicates that there is a gradual change in the stages of informatization: from distance education technologies to e-learning and then to smart learning. Each stage of the informatization of education allows solving the problems that are important for the economy and society. There are the factors, influencing the formation of requirements for the content of educational programs: technological, economic, social and geopolitical. The following requirements of smart training for the content of educational programs are revealed: actual information and tasks in the training course; opportunities for independent cognitive, research and project activities of students; distributed information system of smart learning; integration of the educational environment with professional communities; individualization of the content of training.The conclusion.Technologies and methods of knowledge management can provide the necessary level of speed and quality of development of educational materials. The article describes the knowledge management system, which through the knowledge base, communities and co-creation tools, ensures the relevance of the developed content and fills the smart learning with the necessary content.
