- "blind" review of materials regarding the novelty and scientific level of their content.

The editorial board has the right to edit and shorten submitted materials. Unpublished articles, as well as electronic media and illustrations, are not returned to the author(s).

Requirements for materials submitted for publication and review procedure

The material sent for publication should contain problematic theoretical and practical questions, didactic and methodological developments, proposals for the development of new areas of pedagogical science and new learning technologies, descriptions of the results of specific scientific investigations and other scientific developments, their perspectives correspond to the specialties:

*Note: a scientific article is considered to be an article that contains the result of a theoretical or experimental study that makes sense from a scientific point of view and is intended for publication in a scientific publication.

Publishing design of the structural elements of the article

An abstract, as a shortened form of presentation of a scientific text, should be informative, understandable, clearly and logically presented, with a volume of 200–250 words. Mandatory requirements for annotations: information content (without general words); pithiness (must reflect the main content of the article and research results); structure. In the abstract, it is recommended to report new results and data of long-term significance, important discoveries, conclusions that disprove existing theories, as well as data that, in the opinion of the author, have important practical significance.

It is recommended for authors to hire a professional interpreter to translate the title, abstract and keywords into English. The text must be literate.

While typing the main text, you must follow the following general norms and technologies:

Technical parameters: A4 format, margins - 2 cm on all sides. Paragraph indentation – 1.25 cm, interval between paragraphs – 0 cm, width alignment (set in the “Paragraph” dialog box). Font Times New Roman Cyr, 14 point, no hyphens, single line spacing. It is forbidden to format paragraphs with spaces and tabs. It is permissible to highlight characters (text fragments) in bold and italics.

Names of scientists and researchers mentioned in the text should be listed alphabetically: V. Vernadskyi, A. Ioffe, M. Korolev, P. Curie, E. Lenz, E. Rutherford and others. The initials (name) are indicated at the beginning, and then the surname of the scientist.

You should avoid typing text only in capital letters. Pages do not need to be numbered.

Figures and tables should be numbered. Formulas must be typed in the Equation Editor and inserted into the table.

Tables should be created automatically via the "Table - Insert Table" menu and numbered consecutively. To the right above the name of the table, you should place the inscription "Table", indicating its number. The name of the table should be placed in the middle of the page symmetrically to the text, not italicized. All tables must be referenced in the text ("table ...", "in table ...", "see table ...").

For charts and graphs, it's necessary to use different shades of the same color to indicate a gradient of change. References to illustrations in the text should be indicated by indicating their serial number ("fig....", "in fig....", "see fig....").

Put only one space between words.

Distinguish between a dash (–) and a hyphen (-). A hyphen is a sign that connects parts of complex words. While printed, it has the designation of a small horizontal dash (-) and is not separated from words by spaces. A dash is a punctuation mark used to indicate direct speech, pauses, before this (this is), this, then, this (this) means. Dashes in the text must be separated by spaces on both sides.

Do not separate the sign of degrees, minutes, seconds (25°; 5'; 30'') from the previous number.

Separate signs and letters denoting volumes, parts, paragraphs, items, page numbers, etc. from the following number with a non-breaking space (simultaneous pressing of the Ctrl+Shift+Space keys) (Vol. 5; Part 12; § 7; No. 24; P. 125 –132); generally accepted designations of units of measurement from the previous figure (11 pud.; 500 UAH; 25 km; 7 million; 75 thousand).

Separate the initials and surname with a continuous space (T. G. Shevchenko); abbreviations after lists (type, etc.), before names and surnames (named after M.P. Drahomanov), before geographical names (Vinnytsia City, Stari Petrivtsi village, Desna River).

Abbreviations of the 80s type, the 2nd, should be printed through a non-breaking hyphen (simultaneous pressing of Ctrl+Shift+Dhyphen).

Quotation marks must be used in the " " variant.

The apostrophe should look like this ’.

Dates should be hyphenated without spaces. Before abbreviations y., yy., art. it is necessary to put a non-breaking space: 1861, 1945–1947, 15th–18th centuries. If dates are given in parentheses, then "yy." should not be written: (1945–1947).

In combinations denoting decades, dashes with spaces should be placed between dates: 40s - 50s, 1940s - 60s. Years that do not coincide with calendar years should be entered through a slash (2022/ 2023 academic year; 2021/22 budget year).

Time and numerical intervals should be drawn through dashes without spaces (January–February; 125–152).

Author's accents should be italicized or bold, but not underlined. All illustrations, graphs and tables should be placed directly in the text, immediately after the paragraph which the reference to them is contained in (and not at the end of the document). Web links in the text must be accompanied by full, valid URLs.

The references should contain at least 7 and no more than 15 sources. The list, if possible, should contain references, in particular to foreign and modern domestic publications. The name of the list should be highlighted in bold.

The list of references should be drawn up in accordance with the requirements of DSTU 8302:2015 "Information and documentation. Bibliographic reference. General provisions and rules for compilation from bibliographic references" and placed in alphabetical order.

Indications to references in the text should be submitted according to the model: [5, p. 287], where 5 is the alphabetical number of the source in the list of references, 287 is the page with the corresponding text. Indications to several references at the same time are given as follows: [2; 5; 12] or [3, p. 11; 8, p. 125; 12, p. 471]. Links to archival references - [12, sheet. 217, 227 v.]; If available, include the URL or DOI.

the name of the subheading should be highlighted in bold, 11 pt, capital letters, center alignment;

the list of references, drawn up in the language of the article, must be transliterated in Latin or, if the name of the source also has an English name, it must be written in English (width alignment);

if available, indicate the DOI in the web links;
