Active Minds, Not Static Files: Why Teaching-Related Knowledge Management is More Than Storing Lesson Plans

Teaching-related knowledge management (TKM) extends beyond the storage of lesson plans and materials. It encompasses processes such as knowledge creation, sharing, application, and preservation, empowering educators to transform information into actionable insights for professional growth and improved teaching outcomes. However, TKM is often misunderstood, with prevalent myths reducing it to mere data management, technology reliance, or archival activities. This post critically examines these misconceptions and advocates for a reimagined approach to TKM. By focusing on active engagement, reflection, and adaptation, educators can leverage TKM to enhance their practices, foster continuous learning, and enrich student experiences.
