Reflection in Knowledge Publishing

Self-directed learning often finishes with incomplete knowledge. It is also hard for learners to be aware of and reflect on the knowledge incompleteness. One promising approach to this problem is to enable them to publish their knowledge to get reviews from peers. The main issue addressed in this paper is how to facilitate knowledge publishing and peer review. This paper proposes a knowledge publishing framework whose purpose is to enable learners to publish their knowledge with less cognitive efforts and to help the peers review the published knowledge with the difference between the learners’ knowledge and the peers’ knowledge. This paper also describes a case study, which has ascertained whether the knowledge publishing and peer review could facilitate learners’ reflection on their knowledge in an appropriate and effective way. The results suggest that the knowledge publishing framework has a potential for resolving the problem in self-directed learning process.
