METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH: FROM CONTRADICTIONS TO CURRENT TOPICS

The article is devoted to the definition of the essence of significant methodological characteristics of scientific and pedagogical research (contradiction - problem – topic) through the substantiation of their structural and semantic integrity from the perspective of modern pedagogical science. The key requirements for the formulation of contradictions, problems and topics of dissertation research, which are important to rethink in the present situation, are analyzed and summarized. The methodological foundations of some candidate/doctoral dissertations defended over the past five years in the dissertation Council of Tomsk State Pedagogical University are considered. Examples of correctly formulated topics, contradictions and problems of research in pedagogical sciences are given, taking into account the experience of the Dissertation Council at TSPU. It is shown how the scientific correctness of these formulations affects the content of the dissertation and the quality of the scientific results achieved. The current directions of pedagogical research in the field of education sciences are highlighted.
