| dc.description.abstract | The smart school project was mooted as one of the flagship applications for Malaysia’s bold Vision 2020 national development objectives aimed at achieving a developed nation status by 2020. Due to the rapid changes faced by the education sector, the smart school teachers need to constantly enhance and update their knowledge function effectively in the smart schools. However, it has been found that the level of knowledge sharing among smart school teachers is low and this leads to problems in realising the objectives of the smart school project. Therefore, there is a need to examine the lack of knowledge sharing of these teachers. Hence, the key aim of this study is to identify the reasons why teachers do not share knowledge among themselves from the perspective of the knowledge being transmitted, the knowledge creation processes used and the factors influencing knowledge sharing. The study utilised an exploratory multiple case study design method to collect the data from a total of seven smart schools involving eighty three interview respondents. Based on the analysis of the data gathered from the case studies, it is revealed that the characteristics of the knowledge being shared and received during the knowledge sharing process influences the decision of both the sharer and receiver on whether to share or receive the knowledge. In addition, the knowledge creation process that is most common is the combination while the least common mode is the socialisation. The factors influencing knowledge sharing were identified as leadership, kiasuism, ICT tools, social network and T-shaped skills. This therefore indicates that the smart schools need to enhance on their knowledge creation modes to further encourage knowledge sharing among its teachers. | en_US |
