A Systematic Knowledge Pattern (SKP) for teaching Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management (KM) is a new, evolving computing paradigm based on a collection of processes that govern the creation, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge. We present and discuss a novel method, Systematic Knowledge Pattern (SKP), based on utilizing innovative computing tools for teaching KM. The SKP builds on powerful computing tools employing generic logic-based problem-solving methods that provide an insight into and an understanding of common problems and knowledge processes in any area of KM. The method combines disciplinary principles, a pedagogical approach based on utilizing pedagogical patterns, and intelligent use of technology. We discuss pedagogical aspects of utilizing the method and how it can be specifically adapted to teach KM to high-school students.
