Social networks have the potential to support personal and organizational knowledge management. This study investigated how social network groups promote personal knowledge management activities like knowledge sharing. A survey found that social network groups allow knowledge conversion between tacit and explicit knowledge through discussion and feedback. They also build trust between members from different organizations worldwide. However, the study was limited by not directly measuring the organizational impact of knowledge gained from social networks. Future research could examine how learning on social networks transfers to organizations.
“Social science inquiry method is based on the belief that providing a reflective and enquiry frame of reference to social issues helps to improve the personal and social life”.
Main developers: Byron Massialas, Benjamin Cox.
Massialas and Cox (1966) believed that school fosters development and inculcation of values in children and plays a crucial role in ‘creative reconstruction of culture’. Social inquiry method is helpful in identifying the social issues and dealing with them effectively.
Cox experimented with inquiry methods in teaching Junior High U.S. History, while Massialas focused on the use of inquiry instruction in teaching High School World History.
Principles and theories of Learning( Social Constructivism, Multiple Intellig...Christian Sario
This document discusses principles and theories of learning, including social constructivism, multiple intelligences, and brain-based learning. It provides details on social constructivism, outlining its key assumptions that knowledge is socially constructed through human interaction and culture, and learning is a social activity. The document also summarizes Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, and Jerome Bruner's contributions to social constructivism. It describes perspectives on facilitating social constructivist learning and instructional models based on this perspective, emphasizing collaboration. The theory of multiple intelligences identifying eight types of intelligence is overviewed.
This document discusses interdisciplinary research. It defines interdisciplinary research as integrating knowledge and methods from different disciplines to address a research question. The document outlines the need for interdisciplinary research to solve interconnected problems in an interconnected world. It also discusses the process of conceptual design, technical design, integration, and addressing scientific and ethical considerations. Some benefits of interdisciplinary research include addressing bigger questions, developing a wider audience, and gaining new perspectives. However, challenges can include differences in theoretical backgrounds, operationalizing concepts, intellectual traditions, and methodological approaches between disciplines.

Trendspotting – Models of Man (In Design Thinking)Tan Ti
The document discusses trends in models of human behavior used in design thinking methods over time. It argues that design thinking methods have evolved in parallel with philosophical assumptions about human rationality, moving from intuitive designer to bounded rationality to reflective practitioner. However, it critiques this view for lacking consideration of opposing perspectives and proposes three reasons why the current reflective practice paradigm may be outdated: 1) the evidence linking models of man to method evolution has flaws, 2) current research suggests humans are more irrational than bounded rationality assumes, and 3) the underlying problem-solution method is falling out of favor despite its reflective aspects. It hypothesizes that understanding the drivers of method evolution could help predict and influence future trends.

Jennifer’s Post
I had a difficulty finding non-reactive studies for the particular research that I have been focusing on. The first one that I found seems to be both reactive and non-reactive. People were involved in the first portion of the study, but were not aware of the second phase. The first academic journal that I found is titled “Does Counting Emotion Words on Online Social Networks Provide a Window into People’s Subjective Experience of Emotion? A Case Study on Facebook. Content analysis was used to determine if the words that people post are linked to how they really feel. Reactive measures were used first to question participants on how they felt during the week. Word counting algorithms were used to determine if people really feel the way that they portray on social media. Four samples were used for the study. Facebook data and experience surveys were used to determine if emotion words can be linked to somebody’s true emotional status. The multi-level data analysis included four phases. It was found that there is not a link between a person’s emotions and the words that they post on social media. (Kross, et al., 2019)
The second article that I found is titled “Objectifying Fitness: A Content and Thematic Analysis of #Fitspiration Images on Social Media. Non -reactive measures were used to determine if the large volume of #fitspiration posts on Instagram are linked to body dissatisfaction. Hashtags such as #fitspiration were analyzed in terms of body types and how the posts were presented. The purpose is to find the link between the images and the theory of objectification. It theorizes the dangers of women being bombarded by what is considered an ideal body type. The first question that was asked was "What are the most common types of imagery featured in #fitspiration posts on Instagram?” (Deighton, Bell, 2018). The posts were coded into categories such as body type, body proportion, pose and clothing type. It was found that the majority of the posts depict thin people with low body fat. In a second study that used content analysis the themes of #fitspiration was looked at. In both studies objectification theory was seen. In both studies, thinness is linked to beauty in unrealistic ways that can be detrimental to peoples body image. For me, finding non-reactive studies were difficult. Many of the articles that I found included surveys as the primary measure, or both reactive and non-reactive measures. This makes me think that it could be difficult to gain physical evidence regarding social media usage without violating privacy or other ethical concerns.

A Cognitive Model Of Online Collaborative WritingJennifer Holmes
This document presents a new cognitive model of online collaborative writing. The model describes collaborative writing as a cyclic socio-cognitive process involving collaborative authoring, reviewing, and revising. It combines ideas of collaborative writing, review, and revision. The model will show how different forms of scaffolds influence group decision making. A collaborative writing project will result not only in a final paper, but also knowledge transfer and changes in personal behaviors and skills that will impact future work.
This document summarizes and critiques theories of group development and knowledge sharing within communities of practice. It begins by outlining Irving Janis' theory of "groupthink" and how groups tend to exclude outsiders. It then defines communities of practice as groups that share knowledge and practices through legitimate peripheral participation. The document argues that views of community development should move beyond linear models to multi-dimensional frameworks. It applies Janis' groupthink theory to examine how communities of practice manipulate the space between insiders and outsiders. The conclusion suggests strategies to avoid groupthink and progress future work in this area.
Cognitivism is a learning theory that focuses on internal mental processes like memory, problem-solving, and thinking. It views learning as information processing in the mind, similar to a computer. Key people in cognitivism include Benjamin Bloom, who created Bloom's Taxonomy of learning objectives, and Robert Gagne, who identified different types of learning. In the classroom, cognitivism uses visual aids, demonstrations, and feedback to encourage critical thinking skills.

This document provides an overview of social approaches to learning, including situated cognition, distributed cognition, and activity theory. It was prepared by Team #4 - Douglas Connery, Brian Farrell, Sheri Johnson, and Dennis Pratt - for an ETEC 512 course on social approaches to learning. The document defines key terms, describes the three main perspectives, and discusses challenges and comparisons between the approaches.
Social computing involves processing information distributed across social groups to support gathering, representing, and disseminating that information. It links information to people who are connected to each other. An example showed how a group organized chapters for a book by physically arranging and rearranging chapter titles. People discussed the arrangements, with awareness focused on nearby discussions. This allowed the group to organize the chapters coherently within 30 minutes through distributed input, even though no single person knew everything. A framework was proposed with levels including identity, awareness, action/interaction and structure, along with mechanisms spanning levels.
This document summarizes key theories and thinkers in constructivism and connectivism. It discusses Lev Vygotsky and his sociocultural theory of learning through social interaction. It also discusses Jerome Bruner's view of learning as an active process where students construct their own understanding. Seymour Papert is discussed for his work on using computers to empower self-directed learning. The document then summarizes connectivism and its originator George Siemens, emphasizing learning as connecting within networks and the importance of knowing where to find information.

Social workers are increasingly using social media for networking, peer support, reflection, and fun. Social media presents exciting opportunities for social work practice; however, social workers and employers of social workers need to understand the challenges and conflicts that can occur. This study explored the experiences of social workers who used an online blog for reflection, describing different levels of engagement with reflection and the development of an online community of practice to support isolated social workers. This study is significant because although there are many studies that describe the experiences of students using a blog for reflection, the author has been unable to identify another study that focuses on the ways social workers engaged with a blog for reflection.

Application 2: Laying the Foundation for New Approaches to Practice
As frequently noted in the literature, there is often a gap between research evidence and practice. This is not a new phenomenon; however, with the rapid growth of knowledge, it is essential that nurses hone their ability to identify this gap, determine best practices based on the evidence, and then apply this evidence to practice through the development of new approaches. In order for that to transpire, nurses must be skilled in leading change efforts so that adoption of new practice approaches can be successful.
For your EBP Project in Week 2 (Application 1), you identified an issue in your practicum setting in which the outcome is different from what would be expected according to the research literature. This week, continue to explore current research literature looking for new evidence to address the problem. In addition, you build on the work you began in this week’s Discussion and select an evidence-based practice model and change theory or framework that will support your efforts.
To prepare for Application 2 address the following:
· How current is the science underlying the practices related to your EBP Project issue?
· Consider possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature.
· Evaluate the effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice.
· Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate current research evidence of new practices that are effective in addressing the issue.
· Use the GRADE model presented in the Guyatt et al. (2011) article to evaluate the research evidence.
The full Application 2 is due by Day 7 of this week. Instructions for how to prepare for previous sections of this Application have been provided in Week 4.
To complete:
In a 3- to 5-page paper, include the following:
· A brief summary of the currency of the science underlying the practices used to address your EBP Project issue
· Possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature
· The effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice
· Current research evidence on new practices for addressing the EBP Project issue
· A summary of the evidence-based practice model (including models from other disciplines as appropriate) and/or change theory or framework you will utilize to systematically integrate new approaches to practice to address the issue

Action Research Traditions and Knowledge Interests
As we discussed in Chapter 1, action research is a cover term for several approaches that have emerged from different traditions. Everyone who uses action research for a dissertation should be steeped in the particular tradition they are working out of and its attendant methodological, epistemological, and political dilemmas (e.g., participatory action research [PAR], teacher research, community-based participatory research, etc.). We do not pretend to provide this level of grounding in this chapter, but we do try to provide some sense of how these traditions relate to each other and where students and faculty can go for more extensive accounts. There are several historical overviews of action research, but most are told from a particular intellectual and social tradition, such as the overviews provided by Anderson et al. (2007, practitioner research); Argyris, Putnam, and Smith (1985, action science); Bullough and Pinnegar (2001, self-study); Chambers (1997, participatory rural appraisal); Cochran-Smith and Lytle (1993, teacher research); Fals Borda (2001, participatory action research); Greenwood and Levin (2006, action research); and Maguire (1987b, feminist participatory action research). In this section, we will try to be as inclusive as possible so that students consulting this book for guidance on their dissertations can find their particular tradition of action research represented. There is also a need for a participatory dialogue among these traditions, which academic departmentalization has tended to balkanize into self-contained scholarly communities and bibliographies.
Historians are in the business of creating—not discovering or interpreting—historical meaning. In this chapter, we have done our best to get our “facts” straight, but the meaning one makes of them will depend on who is telling the story. To our knowledge, no attempt at a comprehensive history of action research exists, and our intent is not to provide one here. While the previous chapter attempted to offer some common elements of action research, there may be as much variation across action research traditions as there is between action research and some mainstream approaches to research. Some action research is group oriented and some is individual oriented; some is done by those within the setting and some is done by change agents from outside the organization in collaboration with insiders; and some is highly participatory and some is much less so. Similarly, some see the goal of action research as improving practice or developing individuals, whereas others see its goal as transforming practice, participants, organizations, or, in some cases, even society. Debates rage within action research around these issues.
To the extent possible, our goal in this book is to present all of these perspectives in an evenhanded way. ...

For your EBP Project in Week 2 (Application 1), you identified an issue in your practicum setting in which the outcome is different from what would be expected according to the research literature. This week, continue to explore current research literature looking for new evidence to address the problem. In addition, you build on the work you began in this week’s Discussion and select an evidence-based practice model and change theory or framework that will support your efforts.
To prepare for Application 2 address the following:
· How current is the science underlying the practices related to your EBP Project issue?
· Consider possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature.
· Evaluate the effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice.
· Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate current research evidence of new practices that are effective in addressing the issue.
· Use the GRADE model presented in the Guyatt et al. (2011) article to evaluate the research evidence.
The full Application 2 is due by Day 7 of this week. Instructions for how to prepare for previous sections of this Application have been provided in Week 4.
To complete:
In a 3- to 5-page paper, include the following:
· A brief summary of the currency of the science underlying the practices used to address your EBP Project issue
· Possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature
· The effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice
· Current research evidence on new practices for addressing the EBP Project issue
· A summary of the evidence-based practice model (including models from other disciplines as appropriate) and/or change theory or framework you will utilize to systematically integrate new approaches to practice to address the issue

The Action Research Dissertation: A Guide for Students and Faculty text
2
Action Research Traditions and Knowledge Interests
As we discussed in Chapter 1, action research is a cover term for several approaches that have emerged from different traditions. Everyone who uses action research for a dissertation should be steeped in the particular tradition they are working out of and its attendant methodological, epistemological, and political dilemmas (e.g., participatory action research [PAR], teacher research, community-based participatory research, etc.). We do not pretend to provide this level of grounding in this chapter, but we do try to provide some sense of how these traditions relate to each other and where students and faculty can go for more extensive accounts. There are several historical overviews of action research, but most are told from a particular intellectual and social tradition, such as the overviews provided by Anderson et al. (2007, practitioner research); Argyris, Putnam, and Smith (1985, action science); Bullough and Pinnegar (2001, self-study); Chambers (1997, participatory rural appraisal); Cochran-Smith and Lytle (1993, teacher research); Fals Borda (2001, participatory action research); Greenwood and Levin (2006, action research); and Maguire (1987b, feminist participatory action research). In this section, we will try to be as inclusive as possible so that students consulting this book for guidance on their dissertations can find their particular tradition of action research represented. There is also a need for a participatory dialogue among these traditions, which academic departmentalization has tended to balkanize into self-contained scholarly communities and bibliographies.
Historians are in the business of creating—not discovering or interpreting—historical meaning. In this chapter, we have done our best to get our “facts” straight, but the meaning one makes of them will depend on who is telling the story. To our knowledge, no attempt at a comprehensive history of action research exists, and our intent is not to provide one here. While the previous chapter attempted to offer some common elements of action research, there may be as much variation across action research traditions as there is between action research and some mainstream approaches to research. Some action research is group oriented and some is individual oriented; some is done by those within the setting and some is done by change agents from outside the organization in collaboration with insiders; and some is highly participatory and some is much less so. Similarly, some see the goal of action research as improving practice or developing individuals, whereas others see its goal as transforming practice, participants, organizations, or, in some cases, even society. Debates rage within action research around these issues.
To the extent possible, our goal in this book is to present all of these perspectives in an evenhanded way. ...

2. Question
How did the reflection assignments
help you construct your
understanding of the issues
discussed in the readings?
For this presentation, I will highlight
two issues from my readings and my
understanding of these issues.
3. Issue #1 – Lack of Research to the
Constructivist Underpinnings of Schon’s
Theory of Reflective Practice
• Kinsella (2006) has highlighted Nelson Goodman as a major
constructivist influencer of Schön’s theory
• The author suggests that reflective practitioners should
consider the theory of constructivism when participating in
the reflective process
• Researchers have differed on how constructivism should be
defined but agree on the following:
Knowledge is constructed for the most part through the
process of reflection
Cognition is activated through the construction process
“Cognitive structures are under continual development”
(Kinsella, 2006, p. 279)
4. From exploring the consequences of one’s actions, one can make inferences and through
experimentation, conclude if the correct action was taken or measures implemented.
Such activity suggest that as one reflects, they construct new knowledge.
The researcher’s examination of the literature presented by Schön has revealed a link
between the constructivist learning theory and reflective practice.
I concur with the researcher that constructivism is a critical element of the reflective
process, as there is a decomposition of prior knowledge and composition of the new.
5. Issue #2 – Social Media Can Be Used To
Support Personal Reflection
• Social media networks provide opportunities
for individuals to share multiple digital
identities.
• Individuals can find it burdensome to manage
multiple digital identities and as they self-
express, private aspects of their lives may be
exposed to an inappropriate or unintended
audience (Thomas, et al., 2018).
• The issue of privacy in the online
environment has caused individuals to reflect
on their digital identities.
6. • Although there is much research on Computer-
Mediated Communications, Thomas et al. (2018)
note that it lacks a mechanism to provide insight
to users on a comprehensive understanding and
management of their multiple identities.
• There is a limitation in identifying how self-
reflection can be supported using social media.
• Facebook is a social media network that uses
short reflection videos for individuals to
reminisce and reflect on their past postings.
7. • Thomas et al. (2018) explored the transformation of digital data into
three physical forms, namely,
A printed book
A triptych
A film
• Individuals can use these forms to reflect on the content posted to
social media sites. They can review the book, the triptych, and the
film for the things they liked, disliked, and can improve on. Such
activity seems to follow Gibbs’ Reflective Model.
• Content posted by the individual can be viewed within and outside of
its original context since other users can repost it for viewing by an
unintended or inappropriate audience. However, Thomas et al. (2018,
p. 61) are concerned that individuals do not “consider the potential
benefit to their future selves”.
