Reflection on Tribal Cultural Experience: Shared Symbiosis of Tacit Knowledge

Abstract

Since 1994, the concept of "community-based construction" advocating "learning about life from the people in the field" has been implemented for nearly 29 years. In recent years, an increasing number of academic fields have engaged in action research for local development, opening up new channels for theoretical innovation and breakthroughs. In 2020, the United Nations recognized the crucial role of indigenous peoples and local communities in the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of biodiversity through the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. They acknowledged the significance of indigenous peoples as biodiversity guardians, emphasizing the substantial contributions of collaboration and cooperation with them towards achieving this goal. The utilization and transfer of indigenous cultures as a foundation of local knowledge can reduce the ambiguity and uncertainty of knowledge, enhancing the efficiency of knowledge transfer. Previous research on tacit knowledge transfer primarily focused on the characteristics of subjects or objects, with little attention to the collaborative relationships between knowledge subjects. Therefore, this study employs field surveys and in-depth interviews to explore the experiential learning and teaching practices of members in promoting tribal culture. The collected data are analyzed using literature research methods to assist in addressing the research objectives, compiling comparative data on the current situation as the results of this study, including:1. Socialization, establishing a participatory community environment through media such as pictures, videos, and interactive tools, making tacit knowledge easier to circulate. 2. Internalization and externalization, establishing a tribal community culture, which helps tacit knowledge Openness and sharing of knowledge. 3. Combination, combining the tribal local sharing spirit with virtual online space, not only shaping and expressing one's own identity, but also communicating with the world and local places.
