Student knowledge management in contemporary psycho-pedagogical paradigms

Abstract

The objective of the documentary research was the analysis of the advances of knowledge management applied to students’ intellectual production at undergraduate level, from the different contemporary psychoeducational paradigms.  It characterized  and  contrasted  the  conception  of  knowledge  and learning,  production  and  management  of  knowledge  and  the  strategies  of  dissemination  of  the results,  applied  to  student  intellectual  production  at  the  undergraduate  level. The educational paradigms analyzed were: traditional, behaviorist, constructivist, socio-critical and humanist. It was concluded that, in order to adapt  higher  education  to  the  knowledge-based  society,  it  is  mandatory  to adapt  pedagogical  practices  and  university  management.  Student knowledge management is a useful instrument for increasing  quality  in  higher  education,  since  it  is  a  resource  for  scientific, economic,   social   and   cultural   development.   However,  its   institutionalization   requires   the paradigmatic renewal of the members of the academy at the institutional, local and global levels.
