Introduction

The educational field, as many different professional fields, may suffer from waste and continuous loss of knowledge due to many reasons whether professional ones such as; retirement or resignation, or natural ones such as; diseases or death. Such reasons may negatively affect the educational and professional work with the continuous loss of knowledge and educational expertise without benefiting from it and transmitting the same to the following generations of the profession of education.

By considering the student guidance profession, as one of the most important educational professions, and its knowledge and professional expertise, we realize that it is subject to loss of knowledge and expertise resulting from the above stated reasons like many other educational fields. This case requires hard working to stop these losses and find out means to benefit from the available knowledge and invest the experience of the continuous professional development in the field of student guidance.

Therefore, knowledge management and its processes and applications can be regarded as an important way and effective means to perfectly invest in knowledge, experiments and guiding experiences. Then, knowledge management may be transferred, published, organized and stored in order to make the best use of it.

In this study, the researcher developed a general framework to apply knowledge management to student guidance in the general education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study will discuss the study problem, literature reviews, study methodology, content analysis, applying the style of focus groups and finally how to develop the general framework as one of the outputs of the study.

Literature Reviews

Study No. [1] sought to recognize the percentage of the second secondary school students in secondary schools in the city of Ta’if who have a high violent attitude, and the effect of an existing program to prepare information for social knowledge on reducing violence among them. The study was conducted on a sample consisting of 363 students in second secondary school in the city of Ta’if in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study was based on experimental and descriptive methods. The study concluded that the percentage of the students who have violent attitude was 42.2% and the guiding program has effectively reduced this violent attitude among students largely. This study recommended to recognize the basic psychological, social and cognitive needs of adults, avoid using disappointing words and behaviors and determine the students’ rights and duties. It also suggested to conduct researches about a means that depend on preparing information for social knowledge in dealing with behavioral problems.

This study agrees with the current study in clarifying the crucial and important role of preparing information and knowledge in reducing valance among the student. This can be regarded as a try to use information and knowledge in the field of student guidance and an incentive to apply knowledge management to student guidance.

Study No. [2] aimed to use Data mining techniques in dealing with the educational problems and deviations among adults. Adolescence is the time during which people develop and form their crucial values, personality traits, and beliefs. Hence, as deviant behaviors occur during adolescence, it is important to guide adolescents away from such behaviors and back to normal behaviors. Moreover, although there are various kinds of deviant behavior, most of them would either directly or indirectly affect youths’ academic learning progresses. Therefore, many researchers have endeavored to explore the issues of juvenile delinquency. In this study, we focus on providing methods that could assist counseling officers in discovering symptoms and pre-symptoms of youth delinquency. The study proposes a framework for mining associations from “memo-type” records and guiding notes. In addition, we apply this approach to retrieve associations among deviant behaviors from the counseling records stored in databases. The contributions to adolescent counseling are as follows: (1) A keyword tree of deviant behaviors is constructed and verified; (2) Preparing behavioral groups extracted from records and guiding notes according to general sequence and classification in terms of the types of deviant behaviors. Finally, (3) an information system is recommended to help junior counselors performing counseling and guiding works. Consequently, without experienced consultants, the proposed framework could discover valuable knowledge from consulting records effectively and many efforts are therefore saved. This study concluded a general framework to benefit from the previous deviant behaviors data in predicting and treating processes to help young people in order to live a normal life, provide necessary guidance, explain all procedures in this regard, and verify the sufficiency of this proposed method. The contributions to adolescent counseling are in the following two sides:

(1) A keyword tree of deviant behaviors is constructed to classify the data records. This keyword tree was verified to be true to the percentage of 94.5%. It was also flexibly classified.

(2) The processes of predicting deviant behaviors by mining in guiding data have contributed in discovering deviant behaviors through the proposed framework with the percentage of 94%. In addition, about 96.7% of the classified groups have furnished valuable information that contributed in reducing deviant behavior without refereeing to experienced consultants. All that helped students to refrain from committing deviant behaviors and played an important role in preventing serious crimes.

This study agrees with the current study in supporting the idea of accumulated data mining and searching in order to predict the deviant behaviors of students. This way can be regarded as a way to deal with knowledge management because it handles accumulated data, knowledge and experiences. Data mining proved to be effective indicating the benefits of knowledge management in this field.

Study No. [3] aimed to discover The Effect of a Counseling Supervision Program -Based on the Skill Development Model- on Raising the Professional Self- Efficacy Level among Counselor Trainees in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (60) psychological counseling fourth and third year male and female students at Yarmouk University who are registered in the course of psychological counseling skills and techniques and training fields. Those students were randomly divided into two groups; the experimental group, which was trained by the counseling supervision program-based on the skill development model, and the control group, which was dealt with according to the normal teaching methods. The study showed that the professional self- efficacy level among the experimental group individual was less than the level of the individuals of the control group. The study also showed that there are static significant differences in the behavioral field attributed to the interaction between the group and gender and academic year and gender and finally interaction between the group, gender and academic years. The study also showed that there are static significant differences in the cognitive field attributed to the interaction between the group, gender and academic year. It also showed that there are static significant differences in performance averages on the professional self- efficacy level in general attributed to the group and interaction between the group and gender and academic year and gender and finally interaction between the group, gender and academic years. The study recommendations:

  • Developing training programs according to different supervisory models to raise the professional self- efficacy level among counselor trainees and employed educational counselors and apply it to identify its effect on raising the professional self- efficacy level;
  • Studying the characteristics of counselor trainees in order to be considered when developing programs for them;
  • Studying the difficulties facing counseling supervisors in solving the problems, which the counselor trainees suffer from in order to mitigate its impact;
  • Spreading the idea of executing and applying the training program on psychological counseling students to improve the level in practicing counseling work; And
  • Generalizing the counseling program on counseling supervisors in different directorates of education in order to acquire the practical and theoretical supervisory experience.

This study agrees with the current study in depending on cognitive program that improves the performance in the field of counseling and highlighting the role of this cognitive program in raising the professional self- efficacy level to improve its quality and the quality of counseling service in general.

Study No. [4] aimed to realize the superiorities and difficulties of Application Knowledge Management for Elementary School Teachers and offer the solutions. The analysis of this study considers that the superiorities for elementary school teachers in application knowledge management establish commonly the concept of knowledge management and school teachers can form professional groups to share knowledge. Besides, in the difficulties of application knowledge management, the main problems are insufficient study hours and scanty content planning; schools don’t have enough budget and apparatus to enrich information equipment; teachers are insufficient for information accomplishments and capacity; the school organization ossifies and the teachers settle in present situation; teachers have deficient sense of trust in application knowledge management and so on. According to the analyses above, researchers present four strategies as following to enable the application knowledge management results:

  1. Establish a reasonable further education system to enhance the teachers’ willing to take advanced courses, and promote teachers to obtain knowledge.
  2. Distribute educational expenditure properly to enrich schools information network equipments, and promote the way of teachers sharing knowledge.
  3. Encourage teachers to strive the abilities and accomplishments of information science and technology to enable teachers to develop the function of knowledge application fully.
  4. Mold innovative organization culture to avoid rigid organization and promote teachers to innovate knowledge and abilities in application knowledge management.

This study agrees with the current study in clarifying the superiorities and difficulties of Application Knowledge Management and offers the solutions. This makes it easy for the current study in outlining the superiorities that will be adopted and the difficulties that must be avoided or at least dealt with and solved.

Study No. [5] aimed to realize the reality of Knowledge management applications in supporting the Student guidance in the department of education for the region of BISHA from schools principals and educational guides’ point of view. The survey method was used through the questionnaire, which was formed from Likert scale for the two samples of the study that has relation with the applications of knowledge management in BISHA education. The findings of this study identified the reality of the Applications of knowledge management in the field of the Student guidance in general education in the department of education for the region of BISHA, the instrument was subject to check and examination and proved to be truthful and effective. The study community was formed from schools principals and student guidance in education schools in BISHA, the study sample was formed from (200) members distribution, (100) schools principals and (100) student advisors. This study showed that the first of these applications was (Importance of knowledge management) with a percentage of 72.00% in student guidance in general education in BISHA. Then, (Knowledge acquisition) with a percentage of 71.00% in student guidance in general education in BISHA; then (Knowledge participation) with a percentage of 66.00% in student guidance in general education in BISHA; then (Realizing knowledge management concepts) with a percentage of 64.67% in student guidance in general education in BISHA; then (Knowledge Publish) with a percentage of 63.67%; then (Maintaining and organizing knowledge) with a percentage of 61.33% in student guidance in general education in BISH, then (Knowledge application) with a percentage of 61.00 % in student guidance in general education in BISHA. Finally, (Knowledge generation) came the least one with a percentage of 60.33% in student guidance in general education in BISHA. In general, we found that the responses of the study samples about the application of knowledge management were (2.98), i.e. the applications of knowledge management in general in student guidance for general education in BISHA with the percentage of 66.00%.

This study agrees with the current study in explaining the reality of Knowledge management applications in supporting Student guidance, which may contribute in developing the proposed general framework on application basis.

Study Problem

Student guidance is regarded as a fertile environment for knowledge and experiences and is one of the most important educational and pedagogical fields. Student guidance deals with different educational and pedagogical problems related to students. That was explicitly provided for in the organizational guide issued by the ministry of education and pedagogy (Currently the Ministry of Education). This organizational guide stated that the functions of the student guidance are to study the social, economical, healthy and behavioral cases and psychological and educational problems and to prepare treatment plans for such problems. Workers in student guidance must acquire experiences and knowledge- as seems logical- through executing the functions of student guidance or fieldwork in the field of education and pedagogy. Such experiences and knowledge will be subject to loss in case that there is no effective management. They also must be shared with these field-affiliated persons and other categories related to the educational work in order to be key factors to achieve the objectives of education and pedagogy. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a proposed framework to apply knowledge management to the field of student guidance in the general education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Study Methodology

This study is based on reviewing the intellectual production and using the content analysis method through studying the intellectual production, which is related to the study subject, through a theoretical framework, the literature reviews and knowledge management models. The study also uses the style of (Focus Group) to introduce the proposed general framework as an output of this study. This general framework depends on combining and developing many previous models as well as benefitting from the findings of this study and the literature reviews and enhancing their credibility. The style of (Focus Group) is search aims to recognize the agreed upon opinions by some carefully selected experts.

Applied Framework

Through applying the content analysis method, the researcher has found, through his study, two models, which can be combined and developed in a proposed general framework to apply knowledge management to student guidance in general education. These two models are: (Lee & Kim) model and (Nonaka, I. & Takeuchi) model. But, the researcher has changed the name of the second stage of (Lee & Kim) model from “Propagation Stage” to a new one “Building and spread stage” according to what the researcher considers proper for the subject and objectives of the proposed model. The following table No. (1) shows (Lee & Kim) model:

In the second stage of this general framework, Nonaka Model [7] was combined with this model because it aims to transform, document, store, organize, share and exchange knowledge. Nonaka Model [7] also aims to apply publications and availability policies and obtaining knowledge continually. The researcher used (Figure No. (1) Nonaka, I. &Takeuchi model) in the first four procedures of this stage in the proposed model and added two other necessary procedures. These two other processors are documenting and sharing knowledge.

Study Findings and Outputs

The researcher built his proposed model by combining (Lee & Kim) model with (Nonaka, I. & Takeuchi) model. He benefited from different models, findings of this current study and literature reviews and the recommendations of (Focus Group) conducted on Wednesday corresponding to 10/11/2016. This focus group aimed to deal with the strategic general framework submitted by the researcher to apply knowledge management to student guidance in general education. The focus group approved the model furnished by the researcher and recommended to find a model to be applied to the student guidance according to the status quo through the findings of this study and the recommendations of the focus group. The focus group also recommended documenting guiding knowledge and experiences through building a directed model to record these knowledge and experiences in guiding knowledge container in order to be spread and used in the field of student guidance in the department of education for the region of BISHA. The focus group also recommended creating a database of educational field direction and guidance experts in order to facilitate the process of contacting them to get their consultations and developing procedures and documenting practices of student guidance in the department of education for the region of BISHA. Finally, the focus group recommended developing student guidance community of practice in the educational in the department of education for the region of BISHA.
