SEMANTIC BASED EXPLICIT KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND RETRIEVAL IN 4C'S CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES

With the rapid development of information technology, we can capture knowledge; a variety of tacit, explicit, structured and unstructured knowledge is growing exponentially at the classrooms. How to effectively collect and sort this complex, diverse and multi-domain knowledge and, how to retrieve and reuse them reasonably to create new values for improving the effectiveness of education. This paper aims to develop an ontology to manage, store and retrieval of explicit knowledge gained in Learning Skills (4 C's) practices. The volume of knowledge generated in classroom is overwhelming, the classes tend to repeat and do not learn from previous classes. This work looks forward to having an ontology to manage and be the knowledge base use a semantic information retrieval of those events. The main objective of designing this initial model in the education domain is aiming to represent the explicit knowledge generated in the classrooms. This model should work as a framework to deploy semantic systems for Education. The EXKN Ontology presented here will provide support to the Information Retrieval (IR) in three important ways: by concept-based indexing, by querying by inference and by improving the navigation.
