"On in-struction-ability of tacit knowledge as ordinary, practical member’s method

초록

"This study begins with problematic how tacit knowledge could be ‘view-able’, ‘share-able’ ‘reproduce-able’ among competent members who share similar experience. Tacit knowledge is private but public. This idea relies on Ethnomethodology. EM is a descriptive study of ordinary members’ methods, situated practice and ordinary actions, which constitute social order, rationality, and work, etc. Here, the idea of member implies an agent who has a competence to appropriate tools. Members always play between the situated reasoning, actions and the horizon of understanding. Our experiences are always situated and intended into something. So, interest goes to examine how learning takes place as byproducts of participation rather than understanding. We already know that studies of situated learning and embodied cognition have been developed in educational studies: descriptive studies and instructional design research over the last decade. If development and learning are routinely ubiquitous productive experiences, then micro-level and detailed analysis of the actual situation is required. On the other hand, detailed analysis of how situational practice is involved in learning experiences is still rare in (Korean) studies. In this study, I examined how the tools and resources are dispersed into situations and become invisible in our ‘participatory appropriation’, and how the situation leads to our practice by structuring the next situation with the passage of time. I examine how experience, tacit knowledge is interactively structured in situational practice, through case studies such as interaction with others, personal practice, and use of visual materials. In addition to the transfer of experience, the learning of knowledge was also intended to show how experience, or know-how, develops in the embodied context. Finally, it suggests that the instructional design can be presented as logic and a model for the design of the minimalist learning environment. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
