Knowledge+Cycle

=Knowledge Cycle=

Proposed definition:

**Definition2:** A model that contributes to the formation of an ontology for analytic discussion, and the implementation of knowledge management, the Learning with Knowledge Cycle, is proposed. The stages in this Cycle are: knowledge creation and construction, knowledge articulation, knowledge repository updating, knowledge access, knowledge use and knowledge revision. The Cycle represents the learning process within organisations and is applicable to both tacit and explicit knowledge. All stages in the Cycle contribute to effective organisational learning. **Source:** Journal of Information Science http://jis.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/27/4/227 **Focus:** n/a

Why we chose this definition:
Definition two is more clear on context (organizational learning), intended user (organization), and the purpose. The rest did not have as many components expressed.

 * Current Definitions (n=4)**

Some useful diagrams are included after the definitions
- acquisition, formulation, validation and integration of new knowledge with old, and - application in practices - reflection on experiences, leading to - the creation of new knowledge for consideration
 * Definition 1:** The organisational knowledge cycle (one version - adapted from McElroy) [see diagram]. There are very significant implications for professional learning, including:
 * external knowledge is filtered by individuals using their tacit knowledge
 * new knowledge needs to be (re-)formulated to be meaningful within the school
 * professional learning is required at each of the four stages, hence,
 * professional learning involves
 * professional learning needs to relate the context within the school including existing knowledge, practices and purposes
