It is widely accepted that there is a need for theories describing what agents explicitly know and can act upon, as opposed to what they know only implicitly. Most approaches to modeling explicit knowledge describe rules governing closure conditions on explicit knowledge. Our approach is different; we model static knowledge at a point in time and assume that knowledge is represented syntactical...

To further explore the interaction between the implicit and explicit learning processes in skill acquisition (which have been tackled before, e.g. in [Sun, R., Merrill, E., & Peterson, T. (2001). From implicit skill to explicit knowledge: A bottom-up model of skill learning. Cognitive Science, 25(2), 203-244; Sun, R., Slusarz, P., & Terry, C. (2005). The interaction of the explicit and the impl...

Due to the importance of knowledge in today’s competitive world, an understanding of how to enhance employee knowledge sharing has become critical. This study develops an integrated model to understand key factors of employee knowledge sharing intentions through constructs prescribed by two established knowledge management research streams, namely, those concerning individual motivations and so...

This research focuses on relational and contractual mechanisms and examines their impact on foreign subsidiaries’ acquisition of tacit and explicit knowledge from local suppliers. Using survey data from 168 foreign subsidiaries operating in China, this study finds broad support for the proposed analytical framework. When the foreign subsidiary and supplier share common goals, the foreign subsid...

Knowledge is the essential source of enterprise competitive predominance. As viewed from the explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, it is demonstrated that the information technology is the effective method to promote explicit knowledge sharing and the human communication is the effective management practice to promote tacit knowledge sharing.

Following an extensive overview of the subject, this study explores the relationships between secondlanguage (L2) explicit/implicit knowledge sources, embedded in the declarative/procedural memory systems, and L2 working memory (WM) capacity. It further examines the relationships between L2 reading comprehension and L2 WM capacity as well as those between L2 reading comprehension and L2 explici...

The Problem Epistemic logics are logics for reasoning about knowledge in systems of agents. Traditional modal epistemic logics are information-theoretical, in the sense that they consider knowledge about propositions and that agents know everything that follows from the information they possess. Although proved useful in many applications, this view is unrealistic when modeling explicit knowled...

since the emergence of the process-oriented approach to second language writing instruction two main questions have been what and how error feedback should be given to the students. the question of whether teachers should provide feedback on grammar in the writing assignments of english as a foreign language students, and if so how, has been a matter of considerable debate in the field of secon...

e-Learning technology today is used primarily to handcraft training courses about carefully selected topics for delivery to employees registered for those courses. Knowledge management technology is used to rapidly capture, organize and deliver large amounts of corporate knowledge. This paper investigates the integration of e-Learning and Knowledge Management technology to improve the capture, ...
