Exploring Classroom Interactions to Facilitate the Tacit Knowledge Construction of International Baccalaureate Secondary School Students in Hong Kong

Abstract

In an interconnected and global society that is rapidly changing, it becomes imperative to equip students with the required tacit life skills to meet the challenges of the modern world. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a highly regarded educational system providing a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that nurtures its students as global citizens with a broad cultural perspective. This study investigates the acquisition of tacit skills and the construction of tacit knowledge of secondary school IB students in Hong Kong. The focus is on the role of social interactions in the classroom that facilitates its construction. A mixed-method approach was designed for data collection and analysis. The study's outcomes contribute towards developing a framework and suggest teaching strategies for effective tacit knowledge construction. The paper discusses the findings of a pilot study conducted in an IB school in Hong Kong.
