초.중등학교의 지식경영 수준 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the levels of knowledge management in elementary and secondary schools. This is under the assumption that knowledge management, which is composed of learning organization and knowledge management system, is needed to be introduced in school. This study intends to support the strategic approach to the introduction of knowledge management in schools with positive backup data. The main theme of this study is to analyze the levels of knowledge management in school on the basis of the knowledge management system model, which is composed of the learning system, the structure system, the human network system, the knowledge system, and the technical system.Upon reviewing literature about the characteristics of school and teacher organization, organizational learning and learning organization theory, and knowledge management theory, a knowledge management system model and questionnaire were constructed. These constructions are justified by factor analysis. 2,224 teachers in 83 schools responded to the questionnaire. After analyzing the levels of knowledge management in elementary and secondary schools, three conclusions were made, as follows. First, though teachers were able to recognize the importance of learning based upon their own abilities, there were low levels of team learning and organizational learning. Second, schools inefficiently utilize their human and material resources in regards to external networks and relations. Third, the level of knowledge management in terms of the use of information technology in school is low.
