Organizational and pedagogical conditions of formation of teacher’s professional image in the context of education standartization

In the structure of modern standards of education, one of the important and popular components that increases the effectiveness of pedagogical activity is the professional image of the teacher. The importance of teachers professional image formation is actualized as this image promotes not only productivity, but also influences the perception of the teaching work representative by participants of the educational process. In the process of teachers professional image formation organizational and pedagogical conditions should be provided considering the context of standardization of education. The concept of the conditions in question is defined. The analysis of theoretical research of pedagogical conditions of teachers professional image formation is based on the requirements to pedagogical activity of Federal state educational standards and the professional standard Teacher, which allowed to determine current organizational and pedagogical conditions of the teachers professional image formation in terms of standardization of education. The objective organizational conditions for teachers professional image formation are the following: standardization of the education process, creation of a polysubject educational environment, teachers motivation formation for professional and image development, the development of professional and image competence of teachers, the development of image self-reflection in the professional activities of teachers.

Abusive supervision and the knowledge worker productivity: the mediating role of knowledge management processes

Purpose Drawing upon the theoretical underpinning of knowledge worker productivity, this study aims to examine the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge management (KM) process (creation, application and sharing of knowledge) and its impact on the knowledge worker productivity in knowledge-intensive organizations. Design/methodology/approach Hypothesis were tested through PROCESS Macro in IBM SPSS v.26 on a sample of 204 employees working in banking sector of Pakistan. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the model fitness through AMOS v. 26. Findings The results showed that the relationship between abusive supervision and KM process (creation, application and sharing of knowledge) is negative and highly significant, i.e. greater the abusive supervision in the banking sector, the lower is the engagement in KM processes. Furthermore, there is a positive and highly significant relationship between the KM process and knowledge worker productivity. Finally, the study indicates the negative impact of abusive supervision on the knowledge worker productivity through the mediating mechanism of knowledge management processes. Research limitations/implications A key limitation is that the study is cross-sectional, and the findings may only be generalizable to developing countries context. Originality/value Previous studies have focused on supervisor–employee relationship but not in the context of knowledge worker productivity. This article fulfills this gap through understanding the impact of abusive supervision on the knowledge worker productivity in relation to KM processes (knowledge creation, sharing and application) by drawing upon the theoretical underpinning of knowledge worker productivity.

Data Science in Chemical Engineering: Applications to Molecular Science

Chemical engineering is being rapidly transformed by the tools of data science. On the horizon, artificial intelligence (AI) applications will impact a huge swath of our work, ranging from the discovery and design of new molecules to operations and manufacturing and many areas in between. Early adoption of data science, machine learning, and early examples of AI in chemical engineering has been rich with examples of molecular data science—the application tools for molecular discovery and property optimization at the atomic scale. We summarize key advances in this nascent subfield while introducing molecular data science for a broad chemical engineering readership. We introduce the field through the concept of a molecular data science life cycle and discuss relevant aspects of five distinct phases of this process: creation of curated data sets, molecular representations, data-driven property prediction, generation of new molecules, and feasibility and synthesizability considerations. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Volume 12 is June 2021.
