Process Of Knowledge Transmission Research Articles

Sand Talk: Process Philosophy and Indigenous Knowledges

Abstract Through a close study of T. Yunkaporta's 2019’s Sand Talk, this article explores fractal thinking and the pattern of creation in Indigenous cosmology; the role of custodianship in respectful interaction between living systems; alternative Indigenous understandings of nonlinearity, time, and transience; the process-panpsychism and animism present in Indigenous perceptions of cosmos as living Country, illustrated in the Dreaming and Turnaround creation event; the role of embodied cognition and haptic and situated knowledge in Indigenous science; Indigenous holistic reasoning and the mind-body connection; the process-relational metaphysic embedded in ritual and yarning practice; the knowledge encoded in place-based totemic mythology, lore, and ritual; and Indigenous understandings of complex systems as adaptive, self-organizing, and patterned. This article does not offer a process reading of Indigenous thought but rather demonstrates the significant contribution to process metaphysics that may be provided by an Aboriginal Australian perspective. Yunkaporta's text carves out a language of resistance to the McDonaldization of Indigenous research. While historic scholarly engagement with Aboriginal culture has overemphasized content, Yunkaporta demonstrates how this has occurred to the exclusion of the processes of Indigenous knowledge transmission and creation. Yet a process view requires engagement with the how, not only with the what. Such knowledge transmission is discerned in daily lived relationships among land, spirit, and people—binding epistemology to participation in a specific landscape embedded within a living culture. Place-making for Indigenous knowledges requires exploring how Indigenous ways of valuing, knowing, and being, shaped by cultural activities on Country, offer new understandings for Western metaphysics.

Improving the Synergy between Informal and Formal Education in Education Management in Nigeria

The interplay between informal and formal education in our society cannot be undermined as both play prominent roles in producing a complete person that is generally accepted in the society that can adequately contribute meaningful to the society and nations economic development. At the early life stage of a child, he starts to learn the ideals, customs, norms and values of his community and society through the support of his parents and other elders around him, that is why some academic scholars have agreed that education is the of transmission of values, cultures, norms and associated societal knowledge of certain group of people from generation to generation. Naturally, societies present to its people some inherent cultures, norms, values that need to be sustained through individual involvement in adherence and obedience to these societal demands, by doing so they internalize it and become well accepted as loyal citizens of the society. This process continues from childhood till adulthood when the child begins to take charge of certain aspects of his life. All these knowledge transmission, acquisition and transfer processes are done anywhere within the child’s environment and also not planned or structured, rather through daily life activities and involvement. This approach to education was applied when the communities and its societies where yet not developed but primitive. However, as society became sophisticated and complex, the need to institutionalize knowledge transmission process was eminent as to meet with the contemporary societal demands and life generally. To this extent, schools began to be built, knowledge transmission became planned and curriculums development became obvious, learning became structured, teachers are trained in different field of endeavors to prepare the individuals in their various localities to meet with challenges of both developing and developed world and also contribute meaningfully to the society and nation at large. Hence the managers of this knowledge process are required to be conscious of the needs of the society and nation as to foster effective and efficient teaching and learning processes that take cognizance of all these societal needs, putting them in perspectives for effective knowledge transmission and delivery in schools. Hence this paper was necessitated to focus on the synergy between informal and formal education in education management. In pursuance of this, the importance of formal, informal education and educational management will be considered, ways of improving the synergy between formal and informal education will also be discussed herein.

Application of Multiple Intelligence Instructional Strategy in Teaching Business Education

Over the years, Nigerians are faced economic hardship which requires structural reforms and adjustment in education. However, Entrepreneurship is encouraged because it could lead to self-employment and ensure that business ventures continue to be in operation. If Nigerians wants to encourage entrepreneurship, they should be encouraged to study business education. The challenges educators face in the 21st century are so diverse in such a way that using better teaching methods is more crucial now than ever before to facilitate the process of knowledge transmission. Owing to the inappropriateness of the traditional methods of teaching in the present day teaching, this study reviews the application of multiple intelligence instructional strategy as an alternative method of teaching Business Education which guides curriculum structure and lesson planning to include the importance of teaching the subject matter through a variety of activities and projects. Multiple intelligence teaching strategy was found to affect the success and permanence of the business education students in class. Thus, the study recommends that the teaching method should be incorporated into teaching students in the class.

The conclusion emphasizes the intrinsic connection of these issues to quality of life, highlighting the importance of investing in education to empower individuals to interpret information and promote their health.

Transmisi Pengetahuan Pembuatan Bedog Cikeruh pada Lembaga Informal Dangiang Pusaka Domas di Tanjung Sari Sumedang

Bedog Cikeruh is a cultural heritage originating from Jatinangor District, Sumedang Regency (formerly Jatinangor named Cikeruh). At this time the knowledge of making Bedog Cikeruh is in a critical state. The author found that in the area around Jatinangor, there is only one blacksmith who is still actively producing Bedog Cikeruh. The organization is called Dangiang Pusaka Domas. Dangiang Pusaka Domas is an informal family-based organization. Dangiang Pusaka Domas blacksmith is located in Maruyung Hamlet, Kutamandiri Village, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency. Through this article, the author intends to present data from the point of view of Knowledge Management, how knowledge is shared through knowledge transmission in the Dangiang Pusaka Domas Blacksmith based on the following research questions: (1) What is knowledge transmission? (2) How does the knowledge transmission process take place in the Dangiang Pusaka Domas blacksmith? To obtain the necessary data, the author collected data by conducting an in-depth interview of the source of information obtained based on purposive sampling techniques. The author's findings show that: knowledge transmission is part of the knowledge sharing process. This concept refers to social interaction in which there is a transfer of knowledge, experience, and skills from one individual to another. Furthermore, some conclusions about the transmission of knowledge in the context of Dangiang Pusaka Domas, as an informal organization are: (1) The process of knowledge transmission, in this case, blacksmith knowledge, is carried out for generations in families vertically. (2) The process of knowledge transmission is carried out through structured participation and guidance. (3) The selection of individuals to pass on knowledge is generally in the family lineage, but the decline in knowledge focuses more on internal motivations and personal empirical experience. (4) The process of transmitting knowledge does not involve documenting or converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. Knowledge is passed down through direct experience and practice, without written record-keeping. (5) The family is open to receiving individuals from outside the family who wish to learn blacksmithing knowledge.

Multidimensional Nature of Substance Use Disorder: Explorations in Gangtok

ABSTRACT The study investigates the prevalence of substance use disorder and role of institutions in preventing it in Gangtok, a capital city of the northern Indian state of Sikkim. A survey of 816 respondents was undertaken using a short and easy-to-understand questionnaire. Results reveal that 64% of respondents identified persons with harmful drug use in their immediate families or in their neighborhoods and nearly same percentage of people conceal the actual cause of death in cases where death occurred due to drug overuse. The paper uncovers that cases of substance use disorder have increased and a considerable number of people are reported dying due to it, but families often hide the actual cause of death. The role of institutions is found to be limited in preventing it, as the process of knowledge transmission among families and patients with heavy drug use is abysmally slow. The study argues to empowering society with a potential tool, that is, knowledge transmission, and enabling them to devise meaningful tools to tackle rising cases of substance use disorder.

Empowering women across gender and caste in a women’s dairy cooperative in India

Mulukanoor Women’s Dairy Cooperative (Mulukanoor Dairy) in India has been run by women for women since 2002. From the beginning it created strategies to empower women members, including mixing milk provided by the marginalized caste with milk from other castes; paying women exclusively for milk; providing technical training to women; and seating women together in training and governance events. Caste norms are not observed in these interactions. This article examines the effectiveness of Mulukanoor Dairy’s strategies for overcoming gender and caste disadvantage through empirical research. We hypothesized that if women members of Mulukanoor Dairy had become empowered over the past 20 years we should be able to see evidence for this in the form of women’s empowerment in relation to dairy decision-making at intra-household level. And if caste divisions had been largely overcome we should observe collegial relationships among women of different castes, and similar levels of women’s empowerment at intra-household level regardless of caste. Research was carried out in four villages provisioning Mulukanoor Dairy through focus group discussions with women members of Mulukanoor Dairy, and men spouses of different women members. In total 21 women and 23 men participated. FGDs were sex-and caste disaggregated. The introduction of a new sorghum forage, CoFS-29, provided the entry point to start talking about gender and caste norms. The findings show a remarkable transition of the dairy industry from elite non-marginalized caste men to marginalized and non-marginalized women. Caste norms have changed within the safe space of Mulukanoor Dairy and to a limited extent in the community. A new norm has been instituted that marginalized caste women are dairy farmers. Women across caste experience considerable decision-making power over milk and dairy income. However, men remain primary decision-makers over whether forage is grown. Men engage with key dairy chain actors. Knowledge on new technologies is passed only within castes, and mostly between persons of the same gender. Over the process of knowledge transmission, knowledge networks become increasingly masculinized. Knowledge networks are stronger among non-marginalized men who are best able to make use of new technologies.

Boundary spanning strategy and tacit knowledge recombination: Analysis of joint‐patent networks of patent‐intensive firms

AbstractThis paper collects 103 sample firms' 2015 to 2019 data through data envelopment analysis to measure their technical innovation performance and social network analysis to build joint‐patent networks and explore knowledge‐creating alliance relationships. The article highlights how tacit knowledge recombination works as a mechanism of boundary spanning. It emphasizes the significance of strategic balancing networks' position to improve technical innovation performance and competitiveness of patent‐intensive (PI) firms. This research contributes to shedding additional light on the nature of the boundary‐spanning mechanism and PI firms' knowledge exchanges. Specifically, it examines how balancing boundaries spanning through joint‐patent networks can influence the processes of tacit knowledge transmission and recombination between knowledge‐based actors.

External business knowledge transmission: a conceptual framework

PurposeThis study aims to develop an original conceptual framework to guide research into knowledge transmission between professional external knowledge providers and their business clientele. As such, the framework aims to bridge a gap between theory and practice by explicating the processes which affect knowledge transmission and the conversion of knowledge for business application (i.e. knowledge transference).Design/methodology/approachKey concepts from disciplines of knowledge management, information management, communications, services marketing and business advice are reviewed and integrated into the development of this framework. Underpinned by a critical realist philosophical lens, it provides a robust research guide for examining business advisor knowledge actions in a changing open environment.FindingsThis study identifies that the process of knowledge transmission from a source external to a business is more complex than internal knowledge sharing. It addresses this complexity through a knowledge transmission framework, in a research design that is applicable to any methodological paradigm. Real-world application is identified in its applicability for evaluating mechanisms to facilitate knowledge transmission practices of external advisors to small business in regionally isolated communities.Research limitations/implicationsThe critical realist research methodology allows for causality in knowledge transmission to emerge; however, no assertion is made that the conceptual framework developed needs any particular philosophical paradigm for its application. Instead, what is asserted is that the research framework developed in this paper is specifically suited to the characteristics of external knowledge providers, their tacit knowledge and the businesses they service.Originality/valueThis study reconceptualises various theoretical perspectives and develops a sequential process for addressing a research lacuna by specifically examining the processes (or connections) between external business advisor’s knowledge and their advisory actions. With these processes clearly established, the role of external knowledge providers, as knowledge transmitters, deepens the understanding of knowledge transference that up until now has focused typically on internal organisation aspects.

A Study on the Tattoo Symbols used to Adorn Body by Korku Tribe of Madhya Pradesh

Tattooing is more than just ink and design: it is essentially a process of knowledge transmission via visual language, in which culture is imprinted and kept in a unique way. A tattoo can be regarded as a work of art, but its maintenance is challenging because even the most indestructible tattoos fade away with the mortal body to which they are linked. Korku is one of the main tribe of Madhya Pradesh. Primary as well as secondary data was collected to study the tattoo symbols used by Korku Tribe. The importance of tattoos, the symbols used, as well as and their meanings in the lives of the Korku tribe has been highlighted in this study.

Does a Mamluk Sultan Hold Religious Authority? Quranic Exegesis and ḥadīṯ Scholarship in Late Mamluk Courtly maǧālis

Abstract The article critically reexamines the notion of Mamluk rulers being uninterested in religious affairs and the authority a supreme religious status could bestow. It shows that, with the late Mamluk ruler Qāniṣawh al-Ġawrī (r. 906/1501–922/1516), at least one Mamluk sultan laid claim to religious authority through his participation in courtly processes of knowledge production and transmission in his learned maǧālis. These efforts culminated in the attempt to portray al-Ġawrī as “the sultan of scholars and verifiers (sulṭān al-ʿulamāʾ wa-l-muḥaqqiqīn)” and “the sultan of the truly insightful (sulṭān al-ʿārifīn).” Al-Ġawrī used the scholarly status conveyed through these titles to re-affirm a decidedly Sunni interpretation of prophetic traditions and the Quran, thus setting himself apart from many of the so-called “millennial sovereigns” of his time whose claims for spiritual leadership often marked a break with traditional Sunni concepts of political rule and religious authority.

Exploring Engaged Spirituality through Martial Arts

In this article, through a carnal and participant approach to ethnography, we consider the pedagogical repertoires of Boxe Popolare (a style of boxing codified by Italian leftist grassroots groups) and Odaka Yoga (an innovative type of postural yoga blended with martial arts elements). We provide a close reading of what we call the pedagogies of engagement cultivated by these two practices, appreciating how their underlying spiritual philosophies are internalized in self-reflective projects oriented towards societal transformation. Our analysis draws from Pierrre Bourdieu’s dispositional sociology and the concept of “body pedagogics”. With regards to this framework, we explore the physical-spiritual apprenticeship to Boxe Popolare and Odaka Yoga in relation to the rise of a series of engaged dispositions, which bring practitioners to conceive of their own transformation as a way to encourage social change and support social justice programmes. More specifically, we emphasize the ritual dimensions of these practices, their forms of commitment, and finally their ambivalences regarding contemporary neoliberal governmentality and societal transformation. We conclude by reflecting on how the neoliberal character of contemporary martial activities, too often simply assumed, is socially reproduced—in practice— via specific processes of knowledge transmission; and calling for more attention to the overlaps between different social fields.

Il contributo del paradigma tecnologico-digitale alla formazione degli insegnanti specializzati per il sostegno. Esiti di un’indagine esplorativa

Although, as the today huge literature available reports, the technological paradigm has always been inherent to the processes of knowledge transmission’s construction and despite the fact that distance learning experiences have been present for over fifty years (from the first models of Distance Learning Training to the current advanced typology of e-learning experiences), only following the use of the so-called Distance Learning due to the restrictions caused by the Covid Pandemic, the question seems to have emerged from the maze of the experts, opening a public debate. Far from falling into the mesh of sterile contrasts that have unfortunately pervaded this discussion, the authors of this paper, like many colleagues, have treasured what was and is happening to experiment innovative solutions also in the context of paths intended teachers’ training (specifically involved into specialization for educational support activities for students with disabilities) and verify, through an exploratory survey, the impact that the organization and implementation of these courses, through the distance and according to the principles of the technological-digital paradigm, it also had on the teaching practice carried out in the classroom by the teacher-trainees and on the learning-performance of the students involved.

Usage one of Reverse Engineering Application (Node.js Web) to Construct Software Engineering Documents

In software engineering, documentation is considered the best way to distinguish the main functions of the software. The lack of software documentation may lead to consuming time and effort during the software design phase, which finally affects the quality of software. For instance, without proper documentation, the software maintainability index would never get a reasonable mark. The research has been progressive originally as a resilient concept, once the concept is proved to be developable in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the finishing product will be started to improve with satisfactory documentation. Also, software responsibility has caused complications, such as high costs of software repairs and inefficient process of knowledge transmission between developers. As a Software Reverse Engineering (SRE) method, this work uses a combination of an automatic class diagram creation tool with some manual tweaks, as well as source code analysis and comfortable interviews, to recover the product's design principles and requirement use cases. As a result, two documents will be produced: a Software Requirements Specification document and a Software Design Document

Business Student Perspectives Regarding Ways to Enhance the Online Learning Process

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to understand the key components of a relevant, successful online pedagogy. Using these insights, instructors in the virtual classroom can facilitate and accentuate the knowledge gained by responding to student emotional needs and perceptions. This research evaluates students' attitudes regarding multiple facets of online instruction. In addition to revealing student opinions regarding online course characteristics, using the framework of Schmitt’s Sensory Impact Model, this report shares suggestions for improvement obtained by surveying 160 marketing and management students at a leading Central Asian university. It is the opinion of 58 percent of the students that active participation in discussions improve their academic performance. Our study further shows that astute revision of the online environment can impact student attitudes regarding online learning. Our investigation reveals that improving student motivation is a crucial step to optimizing the value added of the online knowledge transmission process. Insights to student perception regarding the importance of pedagogic factors will improve the online course as well as student perceptions of the online experience.

Unveiling al-Isfār ʽan ḥukm al-asfār: Structural Analysis of a Fifteenth-Century Medical Manual for Travellers

ABSTRACT Around the middle of the ninth/fifteenth century, the Egyptian court physician Maḥmūd ibn Aḥmad Muẓaffar al-Dīn al-‘Ayntābī, also known as Ibn al-Amshāṭī (812/1409–902/1496), compiled a short health-guide for travellers dedicated to a prominent member of the Mamlūk administration, Muḥammad al-Juhanī al-Bārizī (796/1394–856/1452). As mentioned in its incipit, the scope of the booklet, entitled al-Isfār ʽan ḥukm al-asfār, was to accompany al-Bārizī in the pilgrimage to Mecca and provide him with the medical information necessary to keep healthy and cure sickness during the journey. By analysing the structure and contents of the unedited manuscript of this “provision for travellers”, this article discusses how Ibn al-Amshāṭī, mostly engaged with scholarly works, collected, organized and adapted scientific knowledge in a booklet for a non-professional readership. By looking into this process of knowledge transmission and adaptation, this article seeks to contribute to the re-evaluation of Mamlūk literary heritage.

Fishy childhoods in space and time: intergenerational continuities and changes

ABSTRACT This article is based on research conducted in a small fishing community in Cyprus. It seeks to explore through an intergenerational and biographical approach how three generations of Greek Cypriot males belonging to fishing families create a meaningful sense of identity through their attachment to place and the fishing profession. The article analyses these three generations’ childhood experiences, their social relationships and the processes of learning and knowledge transmission at work, to trace inter- and intra-generational changes and continuities and to offer a more nuanced understanding of the younger generation’s sense of identity and belonging in light of ongoing structural changes. Findings pinpoint the centrality of place – land and sea – in all generations’ sense of belonging and a strong sense of attachment to fishing which is, however, impacting the younger generation’s professional orientations at an emotional level, given that fishing is no longer viable as a profession.
