If the history of media coincides with the history of the externalization of knowledge from the body writing freeing the body from memory; robots from labor; AI from calculation; I found myself wondering what virtual reality frees the body from.
We argue that a systems-theoretical constructivist approach is appropriate to examine the processes of educational social media use, namely, self-organization, the internalization of information, the externalization of knowledge, and the interplay of externalization and internalization providing the basis of a co-evolution of cognitive and social systems.
This process of knowledge externalization finds a conceptual analog in Popper's cosmology in which "World II" objects (internal, individualistic schema) are translated into "World III" (public thought) products, in order to facilitate scientific analysis, and processes of refutation and defence (Popper, 1978).
In this paper, the knowledge externalization of modular product design is introduced, which discovers and shares the design rules to increase the effectiveness/efficiency of the design process.
Externalization of one's own knowledge in a way that makes it connectable to information in a social system can improve both learners' content knowledge and their argumentation skills.
Accordingly, this course of action also allowed for examining to what extent externalization of an individual's knowledge from the cognitive system into the social system had an impact on individual learning.
The employed KM model was the SECI, which consists of four modes of knowledge conversion: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.
Knowledge is created through interactions between tacit and explicit knowledge through four modes of knowledge conversation: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization[ 30].
This paper presents the results obtained from an empirical validation developed to determine the efficiency of knowledge acquisition in the externalization phase of Nonaka's model, using a set of software engineering elicitation techniques.
The cultural orientation of the new ventures may be expected to influence the type of their externalization initiatives, and the opportunities, benefits, and costs of knowledge absorption and innovation.
The answer has to do with the realization that education is not based solely on the distribution of knowledge but also its internalization and the signaling rewards that come with its externalization.
