Abstract:

Modern information society features knowledge both as a key element of basic activities, and a framework factor of contemporary civilization. Therefore, paramount importance for estimating the efficiency of public institutions belongs to the knowledge management defined as the process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization (Girard, J.P. Girard J.L. (2015). The system of education, particularly, higher education institutions play a central role in the development of knowledge management theory and practice in contemporary society.  In its turn, the system proper also benefits greatly from the capitalization of knowledge and raising the efficiency of using the intellectual capital. One of the most important imperatives of the modern educational system is the continuity of the educational process, which necessitates creating the optimal system of higher school and secondary school interaction. This seems especially true for pedagogical education. The article is aimed at providing theoretical background of the innovative approach to organizing interaction of universities and schools, at characterizing the key principles of the interaction. The article contains comments for the definite examples of the pedagogical cluster as an instrument of the interaction between universities and schools with a view to raising the efficiency of using the intellectual capital at different levels of educational system.
