The Impact Of Knowledge Creation On The Creative Thinking Of University Students Developing Project Ideas: A Case Study
Authors : Belabbas Yamina . Datoussaid Aimad .
Abstract
This study aims to highlight the impact of the knowledge creation process, as defined by the SECI(socialization, externalization, combination and internalization) model, on creative thinking among students exploring project ideas at a university in western Algeria. The study was conducted among 50 students during the 2024-2025 academic year. A statistically significant positive impact was found for the knowledge creation process on creative thinking, at a rate of 46.6%. Analysis of the results reveals, on the one hand, the limitations of explicit knowledge acquired in the field of innovation, particularly in view of students' rampant use of artificial knowledge. On the other hand, it highlights the importance of promoting tacit knowledge, which remains underdeveloped among students. In this regard, it is essential to strengthen partnerships between universities and companies with recognised professional experience. Such collaboration would enable students to acquire practical, experience-based knowledge, helping them to effectively apply their theoretical learning and successfully complete their projects.
