Description In the presentation, firstly we deal with the operationalization of the tacit knowledge, so that it is possible to do the research of tacit knowledge. We define tacit knowledge in contrast to explicit knowledge on the basis of two criteria – the degree of knowledge awareness and the degree of knowledge articulation. As a key element for the research of tacit knowledge have been identified metaphors. The aim of our appearance is to present the results of qualitative research, specifically, study of one case – student teacher Alena. The empirical material was gained by a non-traditional way of conducting in-depth interview called “clean language”. This is the method of inquiry that can be included in neurophenomenological tradition. In the analysis of the data we are looking for the answer to the question, how is the tacit knowledge manifested in the context of metaphorical expression of students, and as a result we identify four different manifestations. In the light of the research findings in the final discussion we raise the question of whether instead of focusing on the detection of the tacit knowledge rather focus on their intentional influence.
