Knowledge integration promotes the integration of member’s specialized knowledge at the team level and it also educates members on how to leverage other member’s expertise. However, there is almost no research on how knowledge integration practice can improve collaborative sharing environment in higher learning institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper to examine the practice of knowledge integration among higher learning institution students in improving collaborative sharing environment. This paper undertakes quantitative methodology where the data is collected from 196 students who are taking entrepreneurship subject at their final year of study using questionnaire and then analyze using SPSS software. The result from this study shows that the learners have successfully practicing knowledge integration process in improving collaborative sharing environment in order to exchange knowledge and resources in an optimal way. This paper reveals that the practicing of knowledge integration has reduce the knowledge creation period through socialization process among the learners.
