Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the status of knowledge management in the titles of specialized doctoral courses in the humanities of higher education. The present study is a type of mixed exploratory research project. Hence, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods has been used. First, the components of knowledge management were extracted by content analysis method with an inductive approach and based on that, a questionnaire in the form of 9 main components and 44 questions was prepared and provided to the experts. In addition, the checklist was prepared in the form of 442 sub-items. In the content analysis of 2250 specialized courses in 11 humanities disciplines in the doctoral program, 3260 identifiers were extracted. This study showed that knowledge sharing 25.46%, knowledge application 17.48%, knowledge change 12.73%, knowledge creation 11.75%, knowledge identification 9.97%, knowledge organization 7.73%, knowledge development 6.23% knowledge presentation, 4.97%, and knowledge protection obtained 3.68% of the data. In order to prepare graduates as capable future leaders, higher education needs to play a pivotal and effective role in teaching knowledge management to students. Utilizing knowledge management-based curricula facilitates the skills needed to apply and rely on knowledge. Applying standard methods in education and research prepares future managers to present and share knowledge in organizations. Knowledge management promotes a comprehensive approach to identifying, capturing, retrieving, sharing, and evaluating the knowledge capital of organizations.
