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.
