Abstract

Knowledge Management System is a connecting tool that bridges the knowledge or skills needed for work, mainly from tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. The study was conducted in five cities, namely Yogyakarta, Salatiga, Bangka Belitung, Manado and Pontianak. The participants of this study were vocational school students and teachers. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Preliminary finding before the Pandemic was that students did practical work, which then followed by direct discussion. However, the absorptive capacity of this skill-based knowledge did not result in optimum performance for most vocational school students. Thus it is necessary to develop a theoretical Knowledge Management System (KMS) model that is suitable for supporting communication of knowledge and skills that are generally tacit into explicit. One characteristic of this KMS model is the intense sharing and discussion between students and teachers, and which was a challenge to implement before the pandemic due to time constraints. During the pandemic, however, it was found that by applying online learning methods or via video conferencing, it is easier for students to conduct sharing and discussion. The result of this study is an appropriate learning model through KMS in order to optimize the Absorption Capacity of Vocational School Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
