Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the needs of educational practitioners as well as potential problems regarding educational knowledge management, through which learning and pedagogical resources are shared on the World Wide Web (WWW). We administered a questionnaire survey to all fulltime teachers of three elementary schools and a high school. The results revealed the need for sharing of educational knowledge as well as some potential problems such as unfamiliarity with personal computers, negative attitudes toward making lesson plans, anxiety regarding privacy protection, resistance to mutual evaluations of knowledge, and undeveloped give-and-take relationships.
