The two concepts are seen as tools that transform informational society into the knowledge society, so they are analyzed as vectors of the knowledge society. The study on the tendencies evolving on the technology and education realm reveals not only how e-learning and knowledge management affect the perspective of educational practice but ultimately, by demonstrating their convergence, the crucial role in improving organizational performance. The conclusions are outlined in light of the fact that providing knowledge is the both vectors＇ common goal, characterized by the democratization of information, communication, understanding, and cooperation.展开更多

文摘The aim of this article is a research on concepts of knowledge management and e-learning motivated by the question concerning the way they improve education and training in the knowledge-based society. The two concepts are seen as tools that transform informational society into the knowledge society, so they are analyzed as vectors of the knowledge society. The study on the tendencies evolving on the technology and education realm reveals not only how e-learning and knowledge management affect the perspective of educational practice but ultimately, by demonstrating their convergence, the crucial role in improving organizational performance. The conclusions are outlined in light of the fact that providing knowledge is the both vectors＇ common goal, characterized by the democratization of information, communication, understanding, and cooperation.
基金The author is deeply grateful to all researchers who have contributed to establishing and developing the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences.In particular,I would like to thank Jian Chen of Tsinghua University,who is the current president of the Society,and Xijin Tang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,who is the secretary-general of the Society,for their support in writing this article.
文摘This paper introduces the background and purpose of the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences and considers new developments in systems science in the knowledge society.First,in connection with the reason why the name of the society includes knowledge and systems,this paper argues that it is important to support each other for the development of both systems science and knowledge science.Next,this paper introduces three approaches that have tried to combine systems thinking and knowledge management in this academic society.They are Knowledge Systems Engineering,Informed Systems Approach,and Knowledge Construction Systems Methodology.This paper suggests new developments in systems science and engineering that incorporate the concept of knowledge management through explanations of these significances.
