“…The dissemination of knowledge is greatly accelerated by globalization and rapid technological advances, and is changing the dynamics of its distribution and the processes of its acquisition (Stromquist & Monkman, 2014). As knowledge and information are the most powerful tools in today's knowledge societies, lifelong learning and being able to consistently create, adapt, or acquire new knowledge become key elements for personal success (Van Weert, 2005).…”

Current challenges in the educational sector along with age-related changes during early adolescence contribute to an increased sense of school alienation among students. Across a wide array of student behaviors, the failure to participate in classroom as well as socially deviant behaviors can be viewed as some of the central concerns associated with school alienation. This study examined the change in and cross-lagged relationships among alienation from learning, teachers, and classmates, and different self-reported learning and social behaviors across 508 secondary school students spanning a 1-year interval from Grade 7 to Grade 8. The results revealed a slight increase in school alienation and a decline in classroom participation. Earlier school alienation predicted students' later in-class participation and delinquent behavior, but not vice versa. The three alienation domains were shown to have different relationships with targeted learning and social behaviors: Alienation from learning and from teachers negatively predicted student classroom participation. Alienation from teachers and from classmates contributed to subsequent delinquent behavior. The study results emphasized the importance of school alienation for students' participation in classroom activities as well as in disruptive behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings for educational research and practice are discussed.

“…In the ICT-integrated knowledge society of today (van Weert, 2005), knowledge is considered as an invaluable strategic asset (Narasimha, 2000) and a critical resource in the determination of competitive advantage (Grant, 1996;Dunford, Steane & Guthrie, 2001). Organisations are paying considerable attention towards proper "coordination and exploitation of organizational knowledge resources, in order to create benefit and competitive advantage" (Drucker, 1999, p. 157).…”

Developments in ICTs and knowledge societies have revolutionized the traditional paradigms of education. There is a lot of emphasis on a culture of sharing and collaboration in the education scenario of today though educators have certain inhibitions about sharing of knowledge, ideas and resources. The present study was undertaken to explore the sharing behaviour of the faculty of the National Open University in India. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire on knowledge sharing behaviour and barriers to sharing from 62 faculty members belonging to various disciplines. The findings suggested that sharing was less preferred voluntarily and in networks; publishing was most preferred knowledge sharing mechanism; sharing of learning materials was more encouraged in the institution; and borrowing from Internet was more preferred. The important perceived barriers included lack of recognition and absence of organizational knowledge sharing culture. The findings have been discussed in relation to related research and the existing institutional context.

“…A systems perspective (Espejo, Bowling, & Hoverstadt, 1999;van Weert, 2005) on the teaching organisations still needs to be elaborated. Our task in this paper is to examine the state of the art in the teaching environment, to examine the efforts in advancing the teaching environment on the case of the University of Maribor, and to use the systems perspective in suggesting modifications that support viable feedback mechanisms, helping us reach the next meta level.…”
