The creation of such a product will allow:
- – to preserve, generalize, systematize and spread scientific knowledge about pedagogy and psychology;
- – to achieve a qualitatively new level, relevance, completeness and efficiency of meeting the information needs of scientists and educators in order to improve the quality of pedagogical and psychological research and the educational process as a whole;
- – promptly and most fully inform the national and international scientific community about the results of scientific research and development carried out and carried out in the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and educational institutions of Ukraine, and the results of their implementation in educational practice;
- – to most effectively use the possibilities of modern digital technologies for the popularization of domestic pedagogical and psychological science and its integration into the European space.
Publisher
The responsible executor of the project is the "Institute of Digitalization of Education of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine" (https://iitlt.gov.ua) - a leading institution for scientific and methodological support of informatization of education and pedagogical and psychological science in in Ukraine, whose activity is aimed at conducting fundamental and applied research on the solution of actual theoretical-methodological and scientific-methodological problems of creation, implementation and application of software and technical means of learning and information and communication technologies in education. Other scientific institutions of the National Academy of Sciences and Higher Education of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, firms and business companies can be involved in the project on a contractual basis.
The author's team
The basis of the author's team of UEEO is the scientific workers of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine. Leading specialists in the field of pedagogy and psychology, members of the joint scientific research laboratories of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine will be involved in writing articles, editing and filling them with new content. In the future, it is planned to attract the potential of scientists working outside Ukraine, in particular, foreign specialists in the field of pedagogy and psychology from European universities and research institutions.
Cooperation
Since UEEO contains a wide range of data and ideas in the fields of education and psychology, as well as expertly confirmed data necessary for the design and implementation of various educational programs, it can become a powerful source of information for making state decisions. Based on the above, cooperation with legislative and executive structures of various levels, bodies of state executive power and local self-government, mass media, foreign and domestic research funding funds, educational associations and research associations, national branch academies of sciences and higher education institutions is possible.
Implementation of the project
The implementation of the "Ukrainian electronic encyclopedia of education" is a multi-level process that involves solving a number of technical, organizational, regulatory and socio-psychological problems, which is implemented during the following stages:
The implementation of a web-oriented educational encyclopedia will allow to collect on a single resource a significant conceptual and terminological apparatus of pedagogy and psychology, scattered in various paper and electronic sources. At the same time, it will be possible to solve the problem of prompt content updating by editing and supplementing existing articles and including new ones without the need to republish the entire content.
The creation of a modern fundamental encyclopedic resource will allow to fundamentally change the principle of users' work with an educational reference publication: by contacting the system, they will receive not only instant free access to scientific and reliable encyclopedic knowledge, but also a quick and convenient search by text, the ability to cite and exchange links to articles, copy and print the desired text, create your own selections and edit articles by other authors.
The designed encyclopedia will have a flexible and convenient system of navigation tools and cross hyperlinks, which will bring search results as close as possible to user requests. The possibility of including links to the materials of other domestic and foreign electronic resources and indexing of articles by search engines will allow visualization of an encyclopedic map of reference data.
Integration into the text of various multimedia content (virtual museums, 3D tours, audio books), photo galleries and iconographic materials (photo documents, illustrations), video materials (documentaries and documentaries) will encourage readers to deepen scientific research thanks to the visualization, completeness and accessibility of the presentation. materials in compliance with appropriate approaches to preserving the scientificity of encyclopedic content. It is also assumed that interaction with readers will reach a new level thanks to the use of such interactive technologies as messengers, social networks, chatbots, etc. An important social result will be the deepening of the processes of digital transformation of scientific and educational activities.
The open Internet platform will have a powerful effect for the continuous modernization and technological improvement of the content of education, as well as contribute to increasing its level in Ukraine and popularizing the most modern knowledge among the public The problem of providing the educational process with high-quality educational materials can be partially solved.

The introduction of the Internet platform "Ukrainian Electronic Encyclopedia of Education" will contribute to the development and implementation of ideas and principles of open science, approval of its effective informational and procedural tools in scientific and educational practice. The use by various authors and scientific groups of the agreed core of the conceptual and terminological apparatus will increase the quality and efficiency of pedagogical and psychological research, will ensure the compatibility of their scientific results. , illustrative and multimedia materials on this topic.
This will contribute to the further development of the information and digital culture of modern scientists, expanding the range of their competences in the use of open information and reference systems for the high-quality performance of their general educational and professional tasks. At the same time, the use of UEEO will contribute to reducing the number of information objects in various encyclopedic dictionaries, handbooks, thesauruses, glossaries, compendiums, which often unjustifiably duplicate the content of the same name and significantly increase the cost of their publication and use.
