Knowlenge Sharing in School

Sharing knowledge is a concept that is developed within different fields: computer science, sociology, psychology, management, etc. It is however a new phenomenon in pedagogy: in educational research in educational theory and practice. Knowledge is shared in various school environments. It is the teachers who share knowledge as well as the pupils. Teachers may share knowledge with other teachers; pupils may share knowledge with each other. In schools, sharing is the mean of developing teacher competences and therefore a prerequisite to innovation. Sharing is also reflected in the quality of school. Prospective teachers learn to share knowledge from teacher educators. An important role in sharing knowledge between teacher students and teacher educators is played by the intertwining of educational theory and practice. Shared aims and cooperation form the basis of sharing. Subjects enter sharing with knowledge that is common as well as with knowledge that is specific to the particular subject, and thus common and individual aims are formulated and cooperation takes place.
