摘要

學校教育效果未如理想，很多時是因為學校組織內的知識發展停滯不前，教師未能使用新教學方法或改進學校運作模式。近年的學校專業發展研究、網絡理論、組織理論等均指出，通過建立專業發展網絡，以及一些夥伴計劃和具創意的安排，有助學校推行變革和提升質素。本文嘗試從知識管理作為出發點，解釋專業知識的本質和知識轉移的策略，並說明建立知識推廣平台如何有助學校推行變革。文章亦以香港曾經出現的知識推廣平台為例，解釋它們的實踐方法。

Abstract

The lack of success in school education is mainly attributed to the lack of progress in knowledge creation in school organizations, and to the fact that teachers are unable to apply new teaching methods or improve the management models. Recently, researches in school professional development, network theories, and organizational theories have all pointed out that schools can be empowered to change and improve their quality through establishing professional development networks, partnership arrangements, and so on. Based on knowledge management theories, the present article attempts to explain the nature of professional knowledge and the strategies of knowledge transfer, and to delineate how the establishment of a knowledge transfer platform can enable schools to change. This article will also use the recent knowledge transfer platforms as examples to explain their applications.
