“…At least 79 papers related to the topic may be found in the online literature as per the B-On database, which is used in the Portuguese Universities [8]. Of the mentioned 79, only a few [9,10] have macro or even regional [11] or local [12] considerations; rather, most of the papers are management based; some of those papers refer to major problems such as sustainable competitive advantage [13], innovation [14,15], technology [16,17]; some of those papers are about MNCs [18,19], government [20,21], the health sector [22,23], the tourism sector [24][25][26], education [27,28], biotechnology [29], the textile sector [30], construction firms [31] or the chemical industry [32]. Quite interestingly, much emphasis was put in the relation between Human Resource Management and Knowledge Management [33][34][35][36].…”

Objectives: The paper tries to analyse the current and historical application of Knowledge Management in the Portuguese Economy, particularly since the democratic revolution of 1974. Methods/Analysis: Study is based in theories about the impacts of knowledge in countries at a micro and a macro scale. A three levels mode is used, related to context (namely 1) Historical background; 2) basic economic and social data: 3) broad vocational education and training (VET) systems; 4) institutional actors; 5) political context), intervention (namely 1) basic legislative documents, 2) guidelines on eligibility, 3) programs, 4) evaluation procedures) and outcomes (namely 1) stocks, investment, and outcomes; 2) price, quantity, supply, demand, equilibria; 3) needs). Data used are statistical published data and other published documents. Findings: The context changed for the better, because after 1974 the country rulers installed a regime in which knowledge was not seen like a luxury but as a basic need; the change in context was also helped by the adhesion to the EU, which in turn led to massive interventions supported by funds like the ESF and the Regional fund; as a result outcomes are finally seen, as the increase in supply and demand of knowledge and also in the income and employability of the Portuguese attests. Novelty/Improvement These findings are important because they depict the slow but sure transformation of Portugal into a Knowledge Economy. Should be complemented by a more detailed analysis, with a larger group of researchers. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2020-01245 Full Text: PDF

“…Other studies examine teachers' satisfaction with their job in combination with other working conditions. For example, they define as such conditions distributed school leadership and professional collaboration (Sun & Xia, 2018;Torres, 2019); level of collaboration between teachers (Madero, 2019); level of satisfaction with working conditions and degree of participation in school decision-making (Brezicha et al 2019;Price & Weatherby, 2018); self-efficacy, age, gender, school experience, teacher-student relationships (Gil-Flores, 2017). Oerke and Bogner (2010) in their studies recognize the importance of taking into account the age characteristics of teachers and their impact on the pedagogical process.…”

The quality of science education teachers' work determines the effectiveness of education and science education programs in many respects. Given that the results of students are not the same for teachers with the same formal characteristics, we formulate the research problem: when assessing the effectiveness of teachers, we can distinguish a system of indicators that affect the effectiveness of education and educational programs. The purpose of this article is to analyze the quality of work of science education teachers in the Kirov region and their teaching practice. The leading research methods in this case are the concept of the third international study of teaching and learning "Teaching and Learning International Survey", collecting data obtained through a questionnaire of science education teachers, analyzing the quality of work and conditions of pedagogical practices, statistical processing of the research results, modeling and conversations with heads of secondary schools and representatives of executive authorities. As a result of a study conducted in 2017-2020, in which 1146 teachers of secondary schools of the European part of Russia took part, including 310 science education teachers, the author of the article found: the workload of a school teacher of science education is 0.65; subjects teachers spend on average 42.2 hours every week to perform their official duties, urban teachers have more work than rural teachers; with age, teachers of science education have a partial redistribution of labor activity from teaching to administrative work; actual teaching takes 53% of working time in the structure of workload for teachers of science education; teachers evaluate the completeness of their knowledge upon completion of training at the level of 38% of the required level for performing labor activities; there is a predominant share of teachers with a moderate level of need for knowledge in most areas of professional development. The results of the study allow us to develop a set of group measures for training and methodological support of science education teachers. These measures should take into account the specifics of workload and the characteristics of professional deficits.

“…Many studies are devoted to studying the satisfaction of teachers with their work depending on various factors. For example, such factors are distributed school headship and professional collaboration (Sun & Xia, 2018;García Torres, 2019); the level of cooperation between teachers (Madero, 2019); level of satisfaction with working conditions and degree of participation in making school decisions (Brezicha, Ikoma, Park, & LeTendre, 2019;Price & Weatherby, 2018); self-efficacy, age, sex, school experience, teacher-student relationship (Gil-Flores, 2017). Researchers also conclude that collaboration between teachers and school culture are key characteristics associated with less dissatisfied teachers (Madero, 2019).…”

There is no doubt that the characteristics of the pedagogical community influence the quality of school education: its problems are often associated with the effectiveness of teachers training and their professional growth. On the other hand, the quality of the school environment and the conditions of pedagogical work are important factors for both the positive education of schoolchildren and its real results. In this perspective, the effectiveness of the education system becomes apparent in comparison with similar systems. That is why the data of international empirical studies aimed at studying the quality of education today are extremely important both for the country as a whole and for its different regions. To take measures for the development of the pedagogical community of the Kirov region, we made a comprehensive analysis of the teaching staff of the regional pedagogical community. The concept is based on materials from the third international study Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018). The purpose of this article is to compare the qualities of regional school teachers and their pedagogical practice with similar indicators in foreign countries. The author of the article, on the grounds of the comparison of working conditions, professional education and development of teachers, justifies the need for administrative decisions in personnel policy. The leading research methods here are the collection of data, obtained by questioning in maintaining feedback from teachers, analyzing the conditions of pedagogical practices, modeling and statistical processing of research results. As a result of a study conducted in 2018-2019, in which 1025 teachers of secondary schools from the Kirov region took part, the author of the article found: teachers spend, on the average, 44 astronomical hours per week to perform their duties, besides it takes urban teachers 4 hours more to make their work as compared with rural teachers; the teaching load of the younger age group teachers is 1.5 times greater than that of the older age group teachers; foreign teachers spend 6 hours a week less to perform their official duties in comparison with teachers of the Kirov region; teachers spend most of their time on individual planning, preparing for lessons, and on general administrative work, while participating in extracurricular activities and communicating with parents takes the least amount of time in the structure of official duties. The professional knowledge of teachers acquired in the process of their education is estimated below the average level from the level of full preparedness to perform their professional duties; every fifth educator notes a high interest in learning the technologies of individual teaching, teaching children with special needs and class supervision issues. The theoretical significance of the article is due to its contribution to the * Corresponding author. E-mail address: vv_utemov@vyatsu.ru Vyacheslav V.
