Applying the SECI Model and Bloom’s Taxonomy to the Preparation of Knowledge Management Specialists

Learning (in its broad meaning of “knowledge gaining”) represents one of the Knowledge Management pillars. It can be studied from different angles. The SECI learning model by Nonaka and Takeuchi presented knowledge as an eternal process running in human communities. It shows how learning is born and growing in individuals and society. Bloom’s taxonomy is a key learning model in pedagogy. It serves as a benchmark for measuring a level of knowledge gained by a learner. In our paper we analyze both models from the point of view of the preparation of future managers working in in-class and online environments. We indicate how student group projects can serve as a tool forming collaboration skills and enhance tacit knowledge necessary for becoming valuable members of Learning Organizations.
