PKM PROCESS AND YOUR PLN

Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is about taking a personal or individual perspective to Knowledge Management rather than an organisational or corporate one.

In short we have to say PKM is taking responsibility for what you know, who you know- and what they know.

PKM Concept

PKM is mostly focused on individuals who must negotiate and transcend the artificial barriers between their teams, communities of practice, and networks. Inside that person’s head, there are no knowledge barriers. However, discerning with whom and when to share, remains a key part of effective PKM. Social learning requires social intelligence, but organisations have to establish ways to support the multifaceted knowledge worker, or continue to face the knowledge sharing paradox. Understanding that people, not management systems, enable knowledge flow would be a good start.

Reading Alicia's blog  I found she posted some relevant information about PKM and explains it very clearly.

Reflecting on PKM, my thinking is that it connects personal philosophy very well. My personal philosophy of education is primarily based on the ideas of behaviorism. I feel that a behaviorist approach will be necessary in a special child as well as normal child. Behaviorists believe that reinforcement is crucial when it comes to mastering a skill. This is definitely true as most of the students’ need repetition for mastering their skills.

I believe that an effective learning environment begins with a positive climate. Establishing positive classroom environment and strong relationships with students is the first step in proactive behaviour management and individualization. In order to establish these relationships it is imperative to express sensitivity, provide specific positive feedback, and have consistent two-way communication with the families of my students.  The information these relationships will provide will allow me to have greater regard for my students’ perspectives and to better engage my students.
