Abstract

The present research analyzes the management of the knowledge with regard to its transfer in an educational institution located in Medellin, Colombia. A mixed re-search approach was used by conducting survey to 25 teachers, in order to measure the knowledge transfer made after taking a training course and conducting depth inter-views with three managers. The dimensions of the knowledge transfer questionnaire with the highest grades, were those concerning to the design of the transfer pro-cess, and the opportunities to apply the knowledge, rated with a 4.1. In the other hand, the dimension averaged with the lowest grade, was the ability to transfer, with a score of 2.7. The findings obtained, have implications regarding the management of knowledge to achieve the intangible resource they have and to begin the construction of col-lective knowledge within educational institutions, going from the information transmission to the transfer, as well as to the knowledge construction.
