The franchising system has attracted the attention of the market and academia because it can provide gains in scale, as well as breadth of brand recognition – from the franchisor’s point of view – and is seen as an alternative in reducing risks, on the part of the franchisee. Such a system is considered successful when it enables positive financial results for all those who invested their resources. This quantitative research aims to analyze the degree of influence of different knowledge transfer tools (mechanisms) between franchisor and franchisee on the performance of franchised units, using as bibliographical guidance the theories of Resources (RBV-Resource-Based View), of Knowledge (KBV-Knowledge-Based View) and Information Wealth. The dependent variables chosen to measure financial performance are the profitability and profitability of the network’s units. The independent variables – the knowledge transfer mechanisms – are initially grouped and classified among those with a low degree of information richness (LIR), whose focus is on the exchange and capture of explicit or codified knowledge (for example, reports, manuals, e-mails, intranet and database), and that of high degree of information richness (HIR), whose focus is on the exchange of tacit or uncodified knowledge (e.g. class training, field training, seminars, visits units and formal meetings). Empirical evidence shows that the choice of knowledge transfer mechanisms has an influence on profitability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Being an essential component of organic chemistry, named reactions are indispensable in organic synthesis. More and more named reactions have been devised to create unique polymer backbones, which has significantly accelerated the creation of new polymer materials. Yet, the university chemical knowledge system is deficient in relevant introductions. The purpose of this study is to incorporate the specified reactions within the teaching of polymer chemistry. These reactions are divided into six categories: transition metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, condensation reactions, pericyclic reactions, multi-component reactions, free radical reactions, and other reactions. This work methodically covers these six types of reactions, which are critical for polymer backbone synthesis, and presents the practice in teaching. It can assist students to learn polymer chemistry in conjunction with organic chemistry and provide some reference for students and teachers.

The need to transfer education from the presence format to the emergency remote teaching model was identified in the wake of the pandemic scenario of public health, which interfered with the entire educational structure. Educational institutions transferred knowledge quickly and accurately to offer quality education to students. Current study evaluates the contributions of knowledge-sharing in the development of teacher's work of the Nossa Senhora das Graças School, maintained by the Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Deficiency of Douradina (APAE Douradina) visà- vis the challenges of adapting special education to the non-presence format. A hybrid research was carried out, with sequential exploratory aims, through a case study. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire conducted digitally to teachers of the educational institution, and by observations with an organized script. Results identified the forms of knowledge-sharing employed during the period of emergency remote education during the 2020 school year. The importance of measures adopted by the educational institution was verified to facilitate the sharing of knowledge among teachers and their involvement, with the new knowledge acquired and the applicability in their pedagogical work. They demonstrate the satisfaction of professionals regarding the collaborative work of the APAE of Douradina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to analyze how mentoring relates to knowledge management practices in an Institution of Professional Education in Natal/RN. This is a qualitative and descriptive case study, supported by the theories about mentoring of Erlich (2010), Kram, (1980) and Noe (1988) and by the SECI model of knowledge conversion of Takeuchi and Nonaka (2008). The findings of the 22 interviews, discussed through content analysis supported by the QSR NVivo® software, shows practices related to socialization, externalization, combination, and to a lesser impact, to the internalization of knowledge within the institution. Considering the findings about mentoring: the positive effects derive from spontaneous, routine and not made formal relationships, although less apparent to the organizational results; the managers, due to their proximity and availability, are the most significant persons for the development of the employees; meetings are the most efficient strategy managers use for transferring knowledge and providing guidance to the teams; the functions of Sponsorship and Opening mentoring showed less evidence within the aforesaid institution.

The translation of knowledge into clinical practice and behavior change is a slow process that involves the involvement of all stakeholders in the process. Knowledge Transfer (CT) is a complex process and encompasses more than the dissemination or communication of research results. Inherent in the pandemic context, our experience reveals some constraints on multidisciplinary and interinstitutional work, but the use of digital platforms can promote communication between academia and practice. Digital technologies pose several challenges to teachers, health professionals and researchers for an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and allows us to infer that CT is influenced by the virtual world. We aim to reflect the role of teachers, researchers, and clinicians in knowledge transfer in the virtual world, analyze challenges and debate strategies that ensure knowledge transfer. Throughout the chapter, divided into six sections, the introductory conceptual issue will be addressed, followed by a section with examples of practical cases already applied in various contexts, allowing for a reflection on the applicability of the tools for a more efficient EBP. The penultimate section lists the limitations and simultaneous challenges of the digital experience. Teaching EBP in school curricula at various levels of education and involving students in projects can be a challenge to the learning process of critical thinking in clinical practice and to the use of online models and techniques, due to the ease of use of technological resources by generations younger. In the Final Considerations, we emphasize the need for a collaborative approach between researchers, clinicians, and clients where each takes an active role. The new technologies applied to health and the demands of consumers, force the change of practices and models of organization of services, as well as the need for institutional partnerships.

This article intends to approach the practice of Physical Education at school from the perspective of Liberating Education. As a reflection-problematization, it aims to analyze two experiences lived in the context of the practice of Physical Education in order to explain the approximations and distances between the first and the second. The experiences reported expressively show that teaching requires skills that go beyond the dimension of pure action. It is highlighted through the interventions that the educational practice in Physical Education can to think-do teaching beyond the transfer of knowledge. For this, it was understood the importance of the teacher-student relationship in the educational process and the meaning of learning aimed not only at an intellectual and physical formation, but also a citizen formation of the subjects, towards their liberation.

This article aims to reflect on legal education with Paulo Freire's Liberating Pedagogy as a parameter, in order to problematize the implications of banking education in the training of law students. As a methodology, it is a qualitative approach, in which bibliographical research was adopted. In the final considerations, it is possible to overcome banking by consolidating emancipation, making the education of the legal student more humane in that teaching is not the transfer of knowledge, but a meeting of interlocuting subjects.

Atualmente, as organizações educacionais e científicas enfrentam ambientes dinâmicos e competitivos que exigem inovação em seus processos de transferência de conhecimento. Para isso, contam com um conjunto de ferramentas e técnicas para melhor administrar o conhecimento. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é sugerir ferramentas e técnicas de Gestão do Conhecimento que favoreçam a transferência de conhecimento no desenvolvimento de processos organizacionais. O estudo realizado no setor de pósgraduação lato sensu de uma universidade localizada no sul do Brasil que iniciou suas atividades há 30 anos, tem caráter qualitativo e exploratório, pois os procedimentos metodológicos empregados foram a pesquisa documental e o estudo etnográfico. Os dados primários foram coletados por meio da observação participante. Os resultados mostram que existem três processos organizacionais principais nas instituições de ensino: "matricular alunos", "alunos acompanhantes" e "operacionalizar as aulas". Esses processos envolvem 18 atividades resultando na fragmentação do conhecimento. Assim, seis ferramentas e técnicas de Gestão do Conhecimento foram sugeridas para apoiar a transferência de conhecimento nos processos organizacionais, a saber: benchmarking, comunidade prática, ferramentas de colaboração, lições aprendidas, melhores práticas e storytelling.

The central theme of this article deals with the care of People with disabilities, thus seeking to infer some historical contributions from the pedagogy proposed by Paulo Freire and Maria Montessori. Although in preliminary studies Freire did not deal directly with the topic of people with disabilities, he brings in his works a vast material that divided barriers between education for the few and their democratization. Freire (2013, p.47) argues that Education is a process in which the subject must learn through their experience, it does not evolve by receiving ready knowledge, that is: "teaching is not transferring knowledge, but creating the possibilities for its own production or its construction". In this way, it is possible to establish a relationship between Paulo Freire's pedagogy and educational policy for people with disabilities, as both want that all people in society have access to education policy. The pedagogy proposed by Maria Montessori is interrelated with the inclusion of people with disabilities, since her studies initially focused on the education of children with intellectual disabilities.

In the late XXth century, the importance of the “third mission” of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) – their socioeconomic engagement with the social tissue – saw the need to promote several mechanisms of knowledge transfer on a political and institutional level. Nonetheless, many of these mechanisms were designed for industries that share little of the Cultural and Creative Activities (CCA) sector’s specificities. This work stems from a transnational project – 4H-CREAT – that seeks to analyse the way in which cultural and creative activities can be engaged with the remaining political and social actors (HEI, Political Instances and Civil Society). In this article, we seek to explore the ways in which knowledge transfer and valuation can be done within the Cultural and Creative sector, in relation to HEI, narrowing in on the regions participating in 4H-CREAT project (Área Metropolitana de Lisboa, Andaluzia, Avilès, Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, Southern and Eastern Ireland, Southwest Scotland). We sought thus to do a literature review, in order to emphasise the above stated specificities, as well as a statistical analysis, focusing on the period of 2012 to 2015, and a policy analysis, with a focus on the period of 2000 to 2017, of the various regions from Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and the UK involved in the project. We then discuss specific pathways that can be undertaken by HEI to that effect – promoting collaboration in the development of curricula, fomenting spaces of discussion, as well as directing cultural education to the needs of CCA, amongst others. Despite the level of generality of these measures, we argue they can serve to further an important debate on multiple forms of value generated within the CCA and the forms of involvement of agents with HEI.

This article discusses the knowledge and involvement of caregivers in the physiotherapeutic treatment of children with cerebral palsy. The study was conducted with a sample of 20 parents/caregivers of children with cerebral palsy undergoing physiotherapy. It was found that 55% of caregivers had knowledge about transfers, 45% were familiar with physiotherapy techniques, and 20% performed home stimulation. The lack of knowledge and participation of caregivers can impact the development of children, making involvement essential for a better prognosis. [Extracted from the article]

As this is result of the transfer of knowledge, most studies on this subject have considered the implementation of organizational knowledge as a positive result and as the end of the transfer process; internalization as active adoption of knowledge has seldom been investigated. This is assuming that it is only when knowledge is internalized by the recipient company that the transfer process really becomes effective and incorporated into organizational routine. The aim of this paper is propose a theoretical framework using internalization as the variable to analyze the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer process. For this, a comprehensive literature review was conducted that resulted in the identification of important variables that moderate the internalization: the disseminative capacity and the absorptive capacity. Moreover, this article proposes an analysis of internalization from a multidimensional perspective, considering the appropriation of knowledge and time taken to internalize as extension factors of knowledge internalization.

The objective of this research is not only the evaluation of institutional strategies related to the research and development process of organic agriculture, but also socialization and appropriation of agro ecological knowledge in order to contribute to the discussion regarding the importance of organic agriculture alternative movements as an effective way of working and incoming generation in Río Cuarto (Córdoba, Argentina) and in Seropédica (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The chosen methodologies were: qualitative research, in-depth interviews with agriculturists and professionals from local institutions, and observation, which is the basis of all researching in social field.
