ORGANIZATION OF WORK WITH THE INFORMATION ARRAY IN HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH

Introduction. The Scientific Union of Cybernetics and the History of Pedagogics makes it possible to develop an information model within which data collection and processing methods can be improved. In the context of the study of didactic terminology, the practical application of the information model is expressed through the organization of work with a frequency dictionary (information array) formed based on an analysis of historical and pedagogical sources.The aim is to organize work with an information array in order to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the terms of the nuclear zone of the conceptual and terminological field of domestic didactic terminology of the 20–30s. XX century.Material and Methods. The analysis of historical and pedagogical sources was carried out on the basis of an integrated approach, in which the field approach occupied a key place. This approach involves considering the structure of terminology as a set of conceptual and terminological fields. The information array of the study was formed on the basis of a contextual analysis of normative legal acts and texts of leading reformer teachers of the 20s and 30s. 20th century (P. P. Blonsky, A. G. Kalashnikov, N. K. Krupskaya. A. P. Pinkevich, S. T. Shatsky). The systematization and processing of the data of the information array is organized on the basis of the use of content analysis and statistical and mathematical research methods.Results and discussion. A corpus of texts has been formed, consisting of 177 historical and pedagogical sources. An information array has been collected, including 1181 lexical units. The systematization of data is organized on the basis of the belonging of the text to a group of sources, taking into account the authorship and the period of publication (1917–1928) or (1929–1937). At the stage of statistical data processing for working with the 1C: Enterprise platform, an auxiliary script was developed that determines the types of lexical units in accordance with a given algorithm. The characterization of the nuclear zone of the conceptual and terminological field of didactics was made through a structural and meaningful analysis of the terms “education”, “training”, “polytechnism”, “labor” and “school”.Conclusion. The use of software, methods of statistical and mathematical data processing in the historical and pedagogical research implies a more productive analysis of information. The information array (frequency dictionary) formed within the framework of this study; the possibilities of digital processing allow organizing new areas of scientific work with historical and pedagogical sources.
