ABSTRACT

The main purpose of the current conceptual article is to contribute to theorizing tacit knowledge creation (tacit knowing or knowing), by investigating its primary, foundational, and underlying condition: dialogicality. Drawing from dialogism – an epistemological and ontological framework – and the epistemology of practice, key concepts and approaches were intersected to explain dialogicality in knowing and the competences for crafting and refining it. As the emphasis on knowledge creation in organizational settings has often been on the need of interacting with other individuals to create knowledge – the more the better – the current study centres on a qualitative aspect of such knowing. There has been a de-skilling in creating knowledge with different experts and from their different experiences, and dialogicality is critical to help harnessing the generative and transformative power of such differences in knowing. Moreover, theorizing ‘dialogic’ or ‘dialogical’ knowing has been mostly based on cognitive and structural approaches and transmission models of knowledge communication, and such phenomenon has been limitedly understood in concrete and empirical sense, as knowing by means of face-to-face interactions through talk, verbal interactions with turn-takings, and ‘ideal dialogues’. It is argued the need to go beyond the idea of knowing-through-dialogue to knowing-through-dialogicality. It is claimed that it is not any dialogue that enables knowing with different experts and from their different experiences; such knowing-dialogue needs to be dialogically understood and conceived and for such, dialogicality is a central condition. Based on dialogism, the dialogicality in knowing is explained and four dialogical competences that help crafting and refining such dialogicality are suggested. The study extends and deepens the understanding and role of dialogicality in creating knowledge with and from the differences by analysing its epistemological, meta-theoretical, and ontological assumptions and by proposing its formative competences.

RESUMO

O principal objetivo desse artigo conceitual é o de contribuir para a teorização da criação de conhecimento tácito (knowing ou tacit knowing), por meio da investigação de sua condição primária, fundamental e subjacente: dialogicidade (dialogicality). Com base no dialogismo – uma estrutura epistemológica e ontológica – e da epistemologia da prática, os principais conceitos e abordagens foram intersectados para explicar com profundidade a dialogicidade na criação de conhecimento e as competências para criar e refinar a mesma. Como a ênfase na criação de conhecimento em ambientes organizacionais tem sido frequentemente sobre a necessidade de interagir com outros profissionais para se criar conhecimento – quanto mais, melhor – o presente estudo centraliza sua atenção no aspecto qualitativo de tal criação de conhecimento. Tem havido uma considerável redução no nível das habilidades que são requeridas para se criar conhecimento com diferentes profissionais e a partir de suas diferentes experiências, e a dialogicidade é crítica para ajudar a aproveitar o poder gerador e transformador de tais diferenças na criação de conhecimento. Além disso, a teorização da criação ‘dialógica’ de conhecimento tem sido baseada principalmente em abordagens cognitivas e estruturais ao conhecimento e sua criação, e em modelos de transmissão para a comunicação do conhecimento. A criação ‘dialógica’ de conhecimento tem sido limitadamente entendida em sentido concreto e empírico, como a criação de conhecimento por meio de interações face-a-face por meio de conversação, interações verbais com contribuições alternadas e “diálogos ideais”. No presente estudo, argumenta-se a necessidade de ir além da ideia de criar-conhecimento-por-meio-de-diálogo para criar-conhecimento-por-meio-de-dialogicidade. Alega-se que não é qualquer diálogo que possibilita criar conhecimento, especialmente que não é qualquer diálogo que possibilita criar conhecimento com diferentes profissionais e a partir de suas diferentes experiências; é necessário que o diálogo seja dialogicamente concebido, organizado e compreendido para que a criação de conhecimento aconteça, dialogicidade é uma condição central. Com base na epistemologia do dialogismo, a dialogicidade na criação de conhecimento é explicada e quatro competências dialógicas que ajudam a construi-la e refiná-la são sugeridas. O estudo amplia e aprofunda a compreensão e o papel da dialogicidade na criação de conhecimento com e a partir das diferenças, analisando sua base epistemológica, meta-teórica, e ontológica e propondo suas competências formativas.
