Impact Of Managing Personal Knowledge Skills On Human Semantic Memory Recall

Helping memory is a desire for any healthier individual who even considers having a sharp memory.rnParticularly, for knowledge workers who deal with a vast amount of information on a daily basis, increasingrntheir recall is necessary. This research proposes Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) skills to help recallrnof knowledge workers. PKM in this study is a skill of information-seeking and sense-making. It is also the skillrnof information retrieving, evaluating, organizing, and analyzing. A deepened literature on the domain of therndiscourse has been reviewed to formulate the hypotheses. A theoretical framework is developed from thernliterature. A mixed-method of quantitative and qualitative is applied to study the impact of PKM skills onrnhuman semantic memory recall. Multiple techniques are employed to collect the data. The quantitative data isrncollected through an observation checklist and questionnaire. The qualitative data is collected throughrnethnography observation notes and the structured interviews. The data is collected in a three-phase ofrninformation-seeking, sense-making, and semantic memory recall. The result from the analysis confirms thatrnPKM skills have a positive impact on human semantic memory recall. The findings are relevant both to theoryrnand practice. The theoretical contribution of the research for PKM studies spans the horizon of the arenarnthrough the forwarded theoretical framework that links PKM skills with human cognitive capability.rnOrganizational Knowledge Management (OKM) is also able to profit from this research by applying the samernanalogy to increase organizational memory through OKM strategies. In addition, educational specialists canrntake input from this research to use PKM skills as success factors for academic performance and meeting therneducational goal. There is also a contribution to cognitive neuroscientists to use the output of this study as inputrnto augment individuals‟ memory through the approaches of information management. The practical contributionrnof the research is system developers can develop PKM based systems to improve learner‟s memory. Systemsrnlike PLE (Personal Learning Environment) and ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System) can implement the logic ofrnthis study to achieve their aims. As a future work, the framework will be extended by including all the PKMrnskills and designing a PKMS to implement the idea.
