Analysis of the construction of knowledge in connection with industry

Abstract

The term dual training is understood as a type of professional education, where the teaching-learning process takes place in two different places, school and industry (Zamora-Torres et al., 2020). The knowledge management model is approached through the conversion between tacit and explicit knowledge (I. Nonaka & Teece, 2001). The SECI model refers to a process of knowledge creation and transfer through four modes of knowledge conversion. When exploring current practices through a Likert-type scale that analyzed students' perception of knowledge management in a dual educational model, the results show significant differences in the perception of knowledge management between school-based and dual mode students, being more favorable for dual mode students in the factors of knowledge generation, application and tutoring. The factor analysis identified four key factors that explain 57.764% of the total variance with four factors: knowledge generation and application, knowledge sharing, knowledge acquisition and application, and content tutoring. When performing Student's t-test for independent samples of the factors with modality, even more significant differences were found, with a p-value=-2.822, sig=0.005.
