Knowledge sharing framework for teachers of ABC primary school

Abstract

The loss of knowledge from teachers who retire and leave the field is a waste the education sector should look to curb. The use and application of Information Communication Technology is the bridge that could help propagate the growth of an organization as well as shrink the window of deprivation experienced by primary school teachers today. Knowledge sharing is regarded as a significant portion of knowledge management. The importance of knowledge sharing is recognized as a profitable entity to any organization. For teachers in the primary sector, there is a need for them to feel connected yet there are hindrances that are holding them back. A knowledge sharing framework that caters to the needs of this community of practice as well as a teacher friendly portal is essential as a tool to help primary school teachers embrace technology and expand their horizon by connecting and sharing with one another. This paper proposes a knowledge sharing framework that would be the building block of designing a web based portal for teachers in order to cultivate a knowledge sharing environment.
