Concept for the “Know It? Teach It!” segment
Mission of the segment:
implement the “learning to teach” principle through an interdisciplinary science communication platform, where students and faculty demonstrate the ability to transform scientific knowledge into educational content that is understandable, applicable, and technologically accessible.
Meaning of the name:
“Knows?” — mastery of scientific knowledge; “Teaches!” — the ability to structure, adapt, and convey that knowledge to diverse audiences, based on pedagogical, didactic, and psychological principles.

Target audience:
students training in psychology, education, and other fields, as well as university lecturers, K-12 teachers, and trainers—all interested in practices of knowledge transmission.
Interdisciplinarity:
the section integrates Educational Psychology, Cognitive Processes, Inclusion, Organizational Psychology, and Didactics, demonstrating how these areas complement each other in explaining a topic.
Digital resources and products:
Video (up to 3 minutes), subtitles in Portuguese or Russian. Text + visuals (infographics, diagrams, analogies). Each entry receives a QR code and a dedicated page on the multilingual website. The best entries may be used as educational modules (e.g., teacher training materials).

Pedagogical effect:
the author does not merely “present a topic” but designs a micro-learning experience: defining the learning objective, selecting an example or analogy, and planning how to maintain attention and verify understanding.
