The article is about a prominent specialist in the ﬁeld of informatics and methods of its teaching, the founder

of a powerful scientiﬁc school and research areas, the author of many textbooks and manuals in mathematics

and computer science. The stages of his formation as a scientist. Biographical and bibliographic information

about him and his scientiﬁc achievements are given. The study highlights “First steps in life”, “Beginning

of scientiﬁc path and management”, “Scientiﬁc works and educational materials”, “Scientiﬁc and organiza-

tional work and awards”, “Formation of the scientiﬁc elite of the state”, “Main activities of scientiﬁc school

M. I. Zhaldak”. The achievements and main directions of functioning of the scientiﬁc school of M. I. Zhaldak

are analyzed. The inﬂuence of the scientiﬁc school on the informatization of secondary and higher pedagogi-

cal education of Ukraine is determined.

1 INTRODUCTION

Historical and biographical research occupies a

prominent place in the history of science and allows to

personify the history of its branches, to assess the con-

tribution of scientists, individuals involved in research

and organization of science. In the context of biogra-

phy, the method of organizing biographical informa-

tion and research tools are important (Liashko, 2013).

Therefore, the ﬁgure of a prominent Ukrainian com-

puter scientist – Myroslav Ivanovych Zhaldak – was

chosen for this study. The personal scientiﬁc achieve-

ments of M. I. Zhaldak and his students are an invalu-

able, socially signiﬁcant contribution to solving the

problems of informatization of the education system

in Ukraine, humanization of education and humaniza-

tion of the educational process, fundamentalization of

knowledge and providing them with applied, practical

signiﬁcance.

The creation of scientiﬁc schools is a good na-

tional tradition, which is a consequence of the pe-

culiarities of the cultural and historical development

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0213-143X

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9443-6520

of Ukraine. Trends in modern science, which gave

rise to a number of problems, including problems re-

lated to the organization of research: creating optimal

conditions for the most effective activities of research

teams, ways to form and manage them – made rele-

vant the study of the origin and operation of speciﬁc

scientiﬁc schools. “Scientiﬁc School” is a commu-

nity of scientists of different statuses, competencies

and specializations who coordinate their research ac-

tivities, who have contributed to the implementation

and development of the research program and are able

to actively represent and defend the goals and results

of the program (Honcharenko, 2012). Thus, the sci-

entiﬁc school is an informal association of scientists

whose research is concentrated in the ﬁeld of ideas

created by scientists of high spiritual and intellectual

potential. We emphasize that a necessary condition

for the creation of a scientiﬁc school is the presence

of spiritually and intellectually gifted personality of

the scientist – the founder of the school (Leshchenko

and Yatsyshyn, 2015). The organizer, leader and

ﬁrst initiator of scientiﬁc ideas of the school is its

leader, and its students and staff form its staff. Such

groups have a common ideology, it can be their own

methodology and methodology, their own views and

beliefs about certain facts and phenomena, their own

vision of the main path of science. Important is

the product of their activities, publication of results,

i.e., school publications, which should be published

regularly (periodically): thematic collections, mono-

graphs, etc. (Zaruba, 2007). The reasons for record-

ing the existence of such a school are three genera-

tions of researchers: the founder of the school – his

follower – the students of the follower (Marahovsky

and Kozubtsov, 2012).

From the works (Honcharenko, 2012; Leshchenko

and Yatsyshyn, 2015; Marahovsky and Kozubtsov,

2012; Zaruba, 2007) it can be concluded that the main

tasks of the scientiﬁc school are: training of scien-

tiﬁc and scientiﬁc-pedagogical staff; discussion of

the main results of dissertations of graduate students,

doctoral students, applicants and staff; opposing doc-

toral and candidate dissertations, preparing responses

to abstracts, reviewing curricula, manuals, textbooks,

guidelines, collections, etc.; study, generalization and

dissemination of advanced interdisciplinary scientiﬁc

and pedagogical experience; preparation, organiza-

tion and holding of scientiﬁc and practical events of

different levels.

Therefore, it is important to generalize the experi-

ence of the scientiﬁc school, the leader of which is

Academician M. I. Zhaldak, and its role in the in-

formatization of secondary and higher pedagogical

education in Ukraine.

2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

The study analyzed scientiﬁc publications and sup-

porting sources in several areas:

1. Publications devoted to the activities of sci-

entiﬁc schools (Kremen and Levovitsky, 2012;

Franchuk, 2017; Honcharenko, 2012; Mara-

hovsky and Kozubtsov, 2012) and historical and

biographical research (Liashko, 2013).

2. The source base of the study were publications

about the personality of M. I. Zhaldak. The col-

lection (Bibliographic Index, 2011) on the life and

scientiﬁc path of M. I. Zhaldak presents the most

comprehensive data, but this information now

needs to be updated. The sources present certain

biographical data (Nahorody, 2022) and memoirs

of colleagues of M. I. Zhaldak (Mykhalin, 2010).

3. The training of scientiﬁc and scientiﬁc-

pedagogical staff of the highest qualiﬁcation

for informatization of education is described in

works (Leshchenko and Yatsyshyn, 2015; Spirin

and Iatsyshyn, 2013; Spirin and Yatsyshyn, 2014;

Spirin et al., 2016) which mention the role of

M. I. Zhaldak and representatives of his scientiﬁc

school in this process.

We believe that the signiﬁcant scientiﬁc heritage

of Academician M. I. Zhaldak and his students has not

been studied enough, and this study is an attempt to

summarize the signiﬁcant contribution of M. I. Zhal-

dak in the development of informatization of the edu-

cational process of secondary schools and universities

of Ukraine.

The purpose of the article is to clarify the features

of the scientiﬁc school of Academician M. I. Zhaldak

and its impact on the informatization of domestic sec-

ondary and higher pedagogical education.

To perform this study, a set of methods was used:

• theoretical – biographical analysis and system-

atization to determine the stages of formation of

M. I. Zhaldak as a scientist and manager; anal-

ysis and generalization to clarify the prerequi-

sites for the creation of the scientiﬁc school of

M. I. Zhaldak and determine the main directions

of its work; concretization and generalization of

the provisions shown in the scientiﬁc works of

M. I. Zhaldak and his students; systematization

of materials about the life and scientiﬁc achieve-

ments of M. I. Zhaldak; comparative method was

used to determine the stages of formation and or-

ganizational features of the scientiﬁc school of

M. I. Zhaldak, as well as to identify the im-

portance of experience in training scientiﬁc and

scientiﬁc-pedagogical staff of the highest qualiﬁ-

cation in the new scientiﬁc specialty “Information

and Communication Technologies in Education”;

bibliometric method for studying the citation of

the works of the leader by his students and fol-

lowers;

• empirical – conducting interviews with gradu-

ate students, doctoral students, applicants who

performed dissertations under the guidance of

M. I. Zhaldak and his students; supervision

of training and certiﬁcation of scientiﬁc and

scientiﬁc-pedagogical staff in specialized scien-

tiﬁc councils, which included M. I. Zhaldak.

3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Liashko (Liashko, 2013) found that for a long time

(since the XII century) mankind has created the prin-

ciples and mechanisms of practical or normative clas-

siﬁcation of people who worked in the ﬁeld of sci-

ence. The basis of such a classiﬁcation is a person’s

contribution to the development of a particular branch

AET 2021 - Myroslav I. Zhaldak Symposium on Advances in Educational Technology

282

of science on a formal basis – a degree, academic

or academic title, acquired in the normatively deﬁned

manner. That is, it is the ﬁxation of certain stages of

normative recognition of a person’s scientiﬁc achieve-

ments.

As already mentioned, each time, epoch, period

of history is associated with the relevant people who

inﬂuenced the development of science in a particu-

lar ﬁeld, one of them is M. I. Zhaldak. Throughout

his life, he demonstrated to society the potential of

a talented scientist, strong leader, progressive educa-

tor, and wise mentor. The results of scientiﬁc work

and his creative work give grounds to claim that he

has currently formed a solid scientiﬁc school of re-

searchers in the theory and methods of teaching com-

puter science and the use of information and commu-

nication technologies in education (Franchuk, 2017).

The formation and development of scientiﬁc

schools in each country is an extremely important

problem of national importance. The development of

one or another ﬁeld of scientiﬁc knowledge, and ac-

cordingly – education, culture, and economy, largely

depends on its support and consistent solution (Kre-

men and Levovitsky, 2012). According to (Hon-

charenko, 2012, p. 28), a full-ﬂedged scientiﬁc school

cannot exist without a teacher, without students, with-

out the substantive content of joint activities, but each

school in science necessarily differs in certain unique,

unique, properties. The nature of science does not

support reduplication, reproduction of standard prod-

ucts, the invention of the invention. Therefore, the

function of learning, involvement in the tradition is

inextricably linked in the scientiﬁc school with the

search for new solutions and approaches – both con-

ceptual and methodological. That is why every scien-

tiﬁc school is unique.

Thus, scientiﬁc schools are the core informal

structure of science because they make a signiﬁ-

cant contribution to its development, and their rep-

resentatives usually achieve signiﬁcant scientiﬁc re-

sults (Leshchenko and Yatsyshyn, 2015). Researchers

of scientiﬁc schools (Honcharenko, 2012), and (Kre-

men and Levovitsky, 2012, p. 82), emphasize that

the school operates not only through the development

of scientiﬁc ideas, but also through the organization

of scientiﬁc work on the basis of scientiﬁc princi-

ples, tact, respect, responsibility and creating an at-

mosphere of decency. And the educational inﬂuence

on the personality of the applicant has the ability of

the head of the school to think strategically. Also,

the presence of mature intelligence, broad worldview,

prudence, wisdom of life, the ability to generate ideas,

anticipate the consequences of decisions, commit-

ment, and self-discipline (Kremen and Levovitsky,

2012). In our opinion, M. I. Zhaldak meets all these

qualities and therefore, to describe his path as a scien-

tist and the work of his scientiﬁc school is an impor-

tant and honorable task.

Myroslav Ivanovych was a doctor of pedagogi-

cal sciences, professor, full member of the National

Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine, head

of the Department of Theoretical Foundations of In-

formatics of the National Pedagogical Dragomanov

University. He is a well-known scientist and orga-

nizer of national education and science in Ukraine

and abroad. He himself was always at the forefront

and involved his students, gained followers, gathered

around him like-minded people. It is easy and difﬁcult

to study the biography and activities of the scientiﬁc

school of M. I. Zhaldak, because he is friendly, open,

respected by people, has charisma and his scientiﬁc

achievements are large and diverse, and to thoroughly

study this requires special research. M. I. Zhaldak

was a prominent ﬁgure in modern Ukrainian pedagog-

ical science.

According to the results of generalization and clar-

iﬁcation of the system of basic criteria, which de-

termine the scientiﬁc and pedagogical school among

other scientiﬁc associations, the following criteria in-

clude (Honcharenko, 2012):

• creation of educational materials of different na-

ture, recognized at the national and regional lev-

els, fully provide the educational process from the

block of academic disciplines and constitute the

content of the educational process in a particular

specialty (group of specialties);

• the use of original or creatively adapted teaching

methods with essential elements of developmental

learning and the use of modern means of commu-

nication in the scientiﬁc community;

• conducting teaching activities from the block of

academic disciplines that constitute the educa-

tional and content core of the program of a par-

ticular specialty (specialties) during the period of

specialist training;

• the topic of dissertation research of members of

the scientiﬁc school should be conceptually re-

lated to the direction of scientiﬁc research of its

leader. This indicates a set of qualitative indica-

tors, primarily conceptual, related to the continu-

ation of scientiﬁc direction and the development

of ideas of a scientiﬁc school;

• recruiting new members of the community, in-

cluding from the student body of the university,

until the end of the training of highly qualiﬁed

specialists;

• conducting scientiﬁc-practical and scientiﬁc-

theoretical events (conferences, seminars, etc.),

including a permanent seminar of scientiﬁc and

methodological nature. During these events, the

function of replication of pedagogical innovations

is realized;

• simultaneous implementation of two functions:

1) the initiator of fundamental scientiﬁc ideas,

their dissemination and protection; 2) training of

young scientiﬁc candidates (Doctor of Philoso-

phy) and Doctor of Sciences (Bykov et al., 2017).

To conduct this study, the analysis of biographical

information about the life and scientiﬁc achievements

of M. I. Zhaldak is paramount. After all, in (Kre-

men and Levovitsky, 2012) it was determined that it

is important to analyze the personality of the founder

and head of such a school as the most important fac-

tor in its formation. Next, it is worth considering the

school’s research program – when the leader involves

students in their own ideas, creativity, which involves

his desire for collective forms of work and the need

to relay their views and their discussion. An impor-

tant condition for entering a scientiﬁc school is the

identiﬁcation of the student with the teacher, that is,

the perception of his methods, ideas, way of think-

ing and acting. The identiﬁcation of the student with

the teacher and with the scientiﬁc school is a charac-

teristic feature of scientiﬁc schools and is extremely

important for understanding them as a pedagogical

phenomenon. Inheritance and identiﬁcation ensure

the transmission and preservation of the achievements

and traditions of the scientiﬁc school. However, this

should not prevent the formation of the scientist’s in-

dependence, the discovery of his own professional

and personal position.

4 RESULTS

4.1 The First Steps in Life

Myroslav Ivanovych Zhaldak (ﬁgure 1) was born into

a family of teachers on August 15, 1937 in the vil-

lage of Lazirky (formerly Lazirkivsky, now Orzhyt-

sky district), Poltava region. He began his studies at

the school in 1944 in the village of Tarandyntsi (for-

merly Lazirkivsky, now Lubensky district) Poltava re-

gion, which he graduated in 1954.

The future scientist was educated at the Taras

Shevchenko Kyiv State University, where he studied

at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, gradu-

ating in 1959. It was also fateful that for the ﬁrst time

After graduating from university, Myroslav

Ivanovych was sent to work in Tula (Russia) as an

engineer (DKB subscriber box 56). However, in 1960

he returned to Kiev and was enrolled in the position of

assistant professor of higher mathematics at the Kyiv

Higher engineering radio engineering schools of air

3.2 The Beginning of the Scientiﬁc Path

and Management Activities

Zhaldak’s scientiﬁc path began in 1960 with ad-

mission to part-time graduate school at the Depart-

ment of Higher Mathematics of the Kyiv State Insti-

tute of Food Industry (now the National University

of Food Technology), and his supervisor was Doc-

tor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, profes-

sor S. I. Zukhovytsky (1908–1994). And again, the

fateful case directed the further future of M. I. Zhal-

dak, because in 1962 he was transferred to the in-

patient graduate school of the same institute, where

in the same 1962 (due to a change of place of work

of the supervisor), transferred to graduate school at

tute of Food Industry (now the National University

of Food Technology), and his supervisor was Doc-

tor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, profes-

fateful case directed the further future of M. I. Zhal-

dak, because in 1962 he was transferred to the in-

patient graduate school of the same institute, where

in the same 1962 (due to a change of place of work

of the supervisor), transferred to graduate school at

the Department of Mathematical Analysis of the Kyiv

State Pedagogical Institute named after O. M. Gorky

(now the National Pedagogical Dragomanov Univer-

sity). He graduated from graduate school in 1964 and

was enrolled as a junior researcher in the computer

laboratory at the Department of Mathematical Analy-

sis of the Kyiv State Pedagogical Institute named after

O. M. Gorky, and later was transferred to the position

of assistant professor of higher mathematics. In May

1965 M. I. Zhaldak presented his scientiﬁc results in

the form of a candidate’s dissertation and received the

degree of candidate of physical and mathematical sci-

ences.

M. I. Zhaldak began to hold leading positions

in 1968, working as Deputy Dean of the Faculty of

Physics and Mathematics, and later, in 1980 – Head

of the Department of Higher Mathematics. During

this period, the range of scientiﬁc issues studied by

the scientist signiﬁcantly expanded. He was awarded

the title of Higher Mathematics in 1970. In connec-

tion with the organization of the Department of Fun-

damentals of Informatics and Computer Science he

became an associate professor of this department and

was appointed Deputy Head of the Department, and

in 1989 was elected Head of the Department.

From the mid-60’s to the mid 70’s of the twenti-

eth century. in the laboratory of computer technol-

ogy of Kyiv State Pedagogical Institute named af-

ter O. M. Gorky worked a group of young scien-

tists who worked on one electronic computer “Minsk-

1”. In this group of young researchers stood out

M. I. Zhaldak, who not only worked on the computer

“Minsk-1”, but also excellently taught future teachers.

“Personally, I (recalls H. O. Mykhalin (08.01.1945–

03.12.2020)) enjoyed the lectures of M. I. Zhaldak

on probability theory (Mykhalin, 2010)”. M. I. Zhal-

dak in 1972 was an experienced associate professor of

higher mathematics and at the same time conducted

research at the Main Computing Center of the Min-

istry of Education of Ukraine and which already had

the most modern computers of the ES series. Dur-

ing the period from 1960 to 1985, young scientists

of the Kyiv State Pedagogical Institute named after

O. M. Gorky worked on computers of all genera-

tions – from the earliest to the most modern and in-

volved their students and graduate students in this ac-

tivity (Mykhalin, 2010).

As H. O. Mykhalin noted, a team was gradu-

ally formed around M. I. Zhaldak, and later a scien-

tiﬁc school, which he headed. During the 25 years

from 1985 to 2010, this school included hundreds

of teachers from all over Ukraine, whose scientiﬁc

and pedagogical activities are related to the pedagog-

ical software GRAN, created under the leadership of

M. I. Zhaldak (Mykhalin, 2010).

In 1989 the attention of the scientiﬁc community

was drawn to the dissertation of M. I. Zhaldak for the

degree of Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences “Teacher

training system for the use of information technology

in the educational process”, which was defended in

1990 at the Research Institute of Content and Meth-

ods of Teaching USSR (Moscow). The scientiﬁc con-

sultant was Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sci-

ences, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Ed-

ucational Sciences of the USSR, later a full member

of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of

Ukraine, Professor M. I. Shkil (1932–2015). After

defending his doctoral dissertation, the leading role

of M. I. Zhaldak was fully manifested. If during

the period from 1965 to 1990 under his leadership

only two dissertations were prepared and defended

(Yu. V. Tryus and N. V. Morze), then for the period

from 1990 to 2010 the number of defended as PhD

and doctoral dissertations, and now his students work

in all parts of Ukraine and in leading institutions of

higher education (Mykhalin, 2010).

In 1991 M. I. Zhaldak received the title of profes-

sor, and in 1992 he was elected a corresponding mem-

ber, and in 1995 – a full member of the Academy of

Educational Sciences of Ukraine.

At the National Pedagogical Dragomanov Uni-

versity of Institute of Informatics was established in

2008, where M. I. Zhaldak was elected its director

and head of the Department of Theoretical Founda-

tions of Informatics, which he headed until the end of

his life.

Myroslav Ivanovych Zhaldak passed away on

February 26, 2021. His heart stopped beating at the

age of 84. Myroslav Ivanovych was buried in the

town of Rzhyshchiv, Obukhiv district, Kyiv region,

Ukraine.

4.3 Scientiﬁc Works and Educational

Materials

Scientiﬁc schools carry out theoretical and

methodological, information-analytical, scientiﬁc-

organizational, experimental-pedagogical, and

innovation-research activities. By exchanging expe-

rience, ideas, scientists enrich each other’s innovative

potential, create an environment of productive sci-

entiﬁc communication, creative style of teamwork,

contribute to the development of new effective

methodology and original methods of scientiﬁc

knowledge of innovation processes (Kremen and

Levovitsky, 2012).

It should be noted that in the early 1990’s at the

National Pedagogical Dragomanov University were

created positive prerequisites for the emergence of

scientiﬁc and pedagogical school on the problem of

informatization of secondary and higher pedagogical

education. Under the leadership and with the direct

participation of M. I. Zhaldak, a number of concepts,

standards, educational materials, educational and

methodological and program-methodological com-

plexes were developed: content and programs of

courses “Numerical Methods”, “Mathematical Logic

and Theory of Algorithms”, “Fundamentals of In-

formatics”, “Informatics”, “Computational Practice”

for physics and mathematics faculties of pedagog-

ical institutes (1992), in-depth study of mathemat-

ics at school (2001), the concept of informatization

of education in Ukraine (1994), the concept of the

content of end-to-end education of Informatics and

Computer Engineering for All Levels of Education

(1993), State Standard of General Secondary Educa-

tion in Ukraine in Informatics (2003), standard pro-

gram of the candidate exam in specialties 13.00.02

“Theory and methods of teaching computer science”

M. I. Zhaldak, a reviewer of more than 100 scien-

tiﬁc and methodological works, is the author and co-

author of more than 300 works, including 50 books

and brochures (ﬁgure 2), including:

and others (Naukova diyalinist, 2022).

In the works of M. I. Zhaldak introduced modern

computer-based methodological systems for teach-

ing mathematics and, in part, physics, focused on a

harmonious pedagogically appropriate and balanced

combination of traditional methodological systems of

teaching and modern information and communication

technologies.

The software complex GRAN (ﬁgure 3), which

is well known today in schools and pedagogical uni-

versities of Ukraine, was developed by M. I. Zhal-

dak and his graduate student A. V. Penkov (1958–

2016) as early in 1989. The program and methodolog-

ical complex GRAN, together with other textbooks

and manuals for students at pedagogical universities,

teachers and students of secondary schools (”Prob-

ability Theory and Mathematical Statistics” (Zhal-

dak et al., 2020), “Stochastics”, “Mathematics with a

computer (Zhaldak et al., 2012)”) contains more than

20 books, electronic copies of which are available on

the website of the Department of Theoretical Founda-

tions of Informatics (https://ktoi.ﬁ.npu.edu.ua/).

You can get acquainted with GRAN software us-

ing Open Virtual Desktop (OVD) cloud technologies.

The Ulteo OVD system was used to deploy Remote

Desktop. For this purpose, the work of two servers

(application server and session manager server) was

organized, using the web-oriented virtual environ-

ment PROXMOX.

One server, namely the session manager server, is

conﬁgured using the Linux Ubuntu operating system.

Using the Windows operating system, an application

server was conﬁgured on which the GRAN software

(Gran1, Gran2D, Gran3D) was installed (Zhaldak and

Franchuk, 2020).

You can get to the virtual desktop to the remote

server at the link http://gran.npu.edu.ua. As a result, a

page with the form (Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop) will

open, where in the line “Username” you need to se-

lect from the proposed list one of the available names,

such as “gran”, and then in the line “Password” enter

the password “gran” (Zhaldak et al., 2021).

It should be noted that developed by M. I. Zhal-

dak and his colleagues approved the textbook “Prob-

ability Theory and Mathematical Statistics” in 2008

by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine

as a textbook for students of physical and mathemat-

ical specialties of higher pedagogical educational in-

stitutions (Bibliographic Index, 2011; Zhaldak et al.,

2020).

M. I. Zhaldak was a member of organizing com-

mittees and regularly participates in many masses’

scientiﬁc events, both in Ukraine and abroad. Particu-

larly M. I. Zhaldak was the permanent head of the All-

Ukrainian scientiﬁc-methodical seminar on the prob-

lems of informatization of the educational process.

SDRlaCAAAAAJ) as of February 2023: general

citation statistics – 4698, h-index – 34, i10-index –

58 (ﬁgure 4).

To convey his work, M. I. Zhaldak successfully

used digital technologies. In particular, he created

proﬁles in various citation systems so that every-

one could see the real value of his publications.

Especially for domestic research, especially in the

social sciences and humanities, it is mandatory to

publish in publications that are indexed in inter-

national databases Web of Science or Scopus. In

ﬁgure 5 (https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?

authorId=16424101400) we can see the number of

publications as well as the years of these publications.

It is from this that it can be argued that in this case the

scientist was one of the ﬁrst to place his work in sci-

entometrics databases. However, it should be noted

that Myroslav Ivanovych was a supporter of the pub-

lication of his works in Ukrainian scientiﬁc journals.

4.5 Formation of the Scientiﬁc Elite

Being an effective form of organization of scientiﬁc

life of the researcher, the scientiﬁc school greatly

contributes to the acquisition of scientiﬁc experience,

the formation of values in the implementation of re-

search. Involvement of a young scientist in scientiﬁc

research, giving him real powers and rights, the op-

portunity to choose a personally signiﬁcant problem,

pedagogical support and trust have a positive effect

on the overall development of the researcher’s person-

ality and signiﬁcant results (Kremen and Levovitsky,

2012). Training of scientiﬁc personnel in postgrad-

uate and doctoral studies is one of the main sources

of constant replenishment and renewal of the intel-

lectual potential of the state, its scientiﬁc elite (Bir-

iukova, 2010).

M. I. Zhaldak was a permanent member (and since

2003 chairman) of the specialized Academic Coun-

cil D 26.053.03 at the National Pedagogical Drago-

manov University on the defense of doctoral disserta-

tions in the specialty 13.00.02 – theory and methods

of teaching (mathematics, computer science). Note

that it is under the leadership of M. I. Zhaldak, this

scientiﬁc ﬁeld has reached the highest popularity, be-

cause applicants came from all over Ukraine to de-

fend their scientiﬁc results in this specialized scien-

tiﬁc council.

The most common method of identifying scien-

tiﬁc schools is the study of various candidate and doc-

toral theses of scientists who are part of these informal

teams (Marahovsky and Kozubtsov, 2012).

M. I. Zhaldak took great care of young people

and actively involved talented students in research,

postgraduate studies, and recommended talented col-

leagues for doctoral studies. According to scientiﬁc

advice M. I. Zhaldak trained 16 doctors of pedagogi-

cal sciences. Under his scientiﬁc guidance, the scien-

tiﬁc results of 41 candidate dissertations have already

been evaluated (Nahorody, 2022).

It is worth noting the historical experience and

analysis of the current state of training and certiﬁca-

tion of domestic scientiﬁc and scientiﬁc-pedagogical

staff of the highest qualiﬁcation in the ﬁeld of ped-

agogical sciences, particularly in the new scientiﬁc

specialty 13.00.10 – “Information and communica-

tion technologies in education”, established in 2009

(Spirin and Yatsyshyn, 2014).

It should be noted that back in 2008 at the ini-

tiative of academicians of the National Academy

of Educational Sciences of Ukraine V. Yu. Bykov

and M. I. Zhaldak at the Institute of Information

Technologies and Teaching Tools of the National

Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine con-

sisting of 11 people created a working group to pre-

pare a draft passport of a new scientiﬁc specialty

13.00.10 – “Information and Communication Tech-

nologies in Education”, approved by the Higher At-

testation Commission of Ukraine in 2009. to the ﬁeld

of pedagogical sciences, which investigates the theo-

retical and methodological problems of the use of ICT

in education, psychological and pedagogical rationale

for the development of these technologies to ensure

the functioning and development of educational sys-

tems (Spirin et al., 2017).

In 2010 M. I. Zhaldak became a member of the

specialized doctoral scientiﬁc council for the ﬁrst time

created in Ukraine in the Institute of information tech-

nologies and learning tools of the National Academy

of Educational Sciences of Ukraine (now Institute for

Digitalisation of Education of the National Academy

of Educational Sciences of Ukraine) in the specialty

13.00.10. This council has a unique composition, as it

combines outstanding personalities known not only in

Ukraine but also abroad – scientists, managers, prac-

titioners who have degrees in various ﬁelds of science

and have made a signiﬁcant contribution to the com-

puterization of general and higher pedagogical edu-

cational institutions, informatization of scientiﬁc and

educational space of Ukraine (Spirin et al., 2016).

4.6 The Main Activities of the Scientiﬁc

School of M. I. Zhaldak

The scientiﬁc school is called the guardian of ac-

quired traditions, scientiﬁc worldview, concentrated

experience of many generations, a kind of relay trans-

fer of experience, which helps to reveal the creative

abilities of young scientists, their education, forma-

tion, and transformation into mature researchers. In

modern conditions, the scientiﬁc school, in order to

maintain its progressive character, must be armed

with advanced methodology, have professional mo-

bility (Leshchenko and Yatsyshyn, 2015).

Given (Mykhalin, 2010; Bibliographic Index,

2011; Nahorody, 2022) we outline the main direc-

tions of the scientiﬁc school, headed by Academician

M. I. Zhaldak:

• features of teaching computer science in sec-

ondary schools and training computer science

AET 2021 - Myroslav I. Zhaldak Symposium on Advances in Educational Technology

290

teachers for this;

• development of electronic educational resources

(pedagogical software) focused on the school

course of mathematics, easy for students to mas-

ter, easy to use;

• creation of computer-oriented systems of teaching

mathematics in various educational institutions;

• development and improvement of methodical sys-

tems of teaching computer science and mathemat-

ics to university students;

• introduction of technologies of distance learning

of computer science and mathematics disciplines;

• development of information-didactic and

educational-methodical materials, in partic-

ular creation of new textbooks, task books,

textbooks for school, for teachers and students of

pedagogical universities;

• introduction of information and communication

technologies for training, management, and sup-

port of scientiﬁc research (Bykov et al., 2017).

According to many leading scientists, the scien-

tiﬁc school of Academician M. I. Zhaldak is a source

for the creation and development of new scientiﬁc

schools, which will later be headed by his students.

5 CONCLUSIONS

M. I. Zhaldak was a man of hard work and mod-

esty, versatile talent, deep knowledge, and wisdom of

life. High decency, simplicity, modesty, principled-

ness and determination in defending their positions,

the ability to work with people became an example of

devotion and service to the pedagogical ﬁeld to which

he dedicated himself. His fruitful work is generous

with life-giving fruits, respect, and love. And the re-

sult is an extremely powerful scientiﬁc school.

M. I. Zhaldak managed to prepare and focus

highly qualiﬁed scientiﬁc and scientiﬁc-pedagogical

staff on priority and promising areas of informatiza-

tion of the educational process in schools and univer-

sities, which determine the innovative development of

education and science of Ukraine. The study provides

grounds to argue about the signiﬁcant role of the sci-

entiﬁc school of M. I. Zhaldak and its impact on the

development, promotion of international prestige and

authority of national education and science.

From his own many years of experience working

with M. I. Zhaldak, we note that in the educational

process, research, and management, he uses effective

innovative approaches. M. I. Zhaldak is a great pro-

fessional, whose potential is realized in all spheres of

education and science. His colleagues and students

know that it is worth working with him according to

his principles and at his own pace. And his principled-

ness in scientiﬁc and organizational issues ensured the

respect of colleagues and students and contributed to

his scientiﬁc recognition.

Carrying out research on the biography, scientiﬁc

achievements of Academician M. I. Zhaldak and his

scientiﬁc school, it should be noted that he is one of

the leaders, scientists, creators of educational innova-

tions: teacher, scientist, organizer of education and

science.

In the future it is expedient to study the phe-

nomenon of development of scientiﬁc schools of stu-

dents and followers of Academician M. I. Zhaldak.
