Abstract

Many educational systems emphasize the importance of knowledge-sharing behavior among students within the educational environment. However, hesitation to engage in this behavior persists due to a lack of understanding of the determinants of knowledge sharing. This study aimed to investigate the extent of knowledge-sharing practices among students of the Continuous Education University across Algeria. The study sample consisted of 479 male and female students from 24 centers. A knowledge-sharing scale was developed, and its validity was confirmed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and convergent validity measures. Reliability was established through test-retest methods and McDonald’s Omega coefficient. The study's findings revealed a high degree of knowledge-sharing practices among students. Additionally, the results indicated statistically significant differences in knowledge-sharing levels based on gender, favoring male students. However, no statistically significant differences were observed based on the academic level.
