Integração entre gestão do conhecimento e aprendizagem ativa

Introduction: In the contemporary knowledge economy, higher education institutions act as both producers and consumers of knowledge. They face the dual challenge of harnessing their collective expertise while encouraging learners to become active creators of new ideas. Integrating knowledge management (KM) practices with active learning methodologies emerges as a strategic approach to strengthen knowledge creation, sharing, and application within academic environments.  Objective: This paper proposes a transversal knowledge management model tailored for universities. The aim is to integrate KM principles with active learning methodologies to foster continuous cycles of knowledge creation, capture, socialization, and application.  Methodology: The study is based on a theoretical and conceptual analysis of the literature on knowledge management, tacit and explicit knowledge conversion, collaborative learning, and problem-based learning. In addition, the model is informed by empirical insights arising from the cross-fertilization between Information Science and Education, combining well-established theoretical frameworks with innovative pedagogical practices. Results: The proposed model highlights continuous cycles of knowledge creation through active learning, systematic capture of intellectual outputs, socialization and combination of knowledge through collaborative practices, and ongoing application and evaluation. The framework provides universities with an integrated structure to strengthen organizational culture, enhance decision-making processes, and improve learning outcomes. Conclusion: The proposed integration between knowledge management and active learning contributes to both KM theory and educational practice. It offers a strategic pathway for higher education institutions to leverage their intellectual capital to promote innovation, organizational learning, and sustainable development.
