What is emphasised in this analysis is that the awareness of Gestalt by school principals and teachers can be utilisedfor implementing knowledge management strategies. Since one of the challenges to implement knowledgemanagement is lack of transparency and how to transform synergy into innovation as well, it is assumed thatGestalt-oriented approach will help this lack of transparency diminish, and that synergy can turn into innovation.This work also tries to get an organized representation of how teachers and managers can consciously apply Gestaltqualities at schools in conjunction with knowledge management. First, a broad definition of Gestalt theory in thefields of psychology (in accordance with Christian Von Ehrenfelsin and Weithermar) will be given. Then a very briefphilosophical depiction of Gestalt (by Heidegger) will be considered. After depicting the qualities of Gestalt, itssupposed values and conceptions will be brought into a couple of frameworks (represented in figures 1 & 2) amongteachers, managers, family and society. Finally, at the end of this analysis, it is suggested that knowledge can begained by Gestalt qualities and there can possibly no difference between knowledge creation and emergence ofGestalt at schools.
