(methodology at the level of philosophical reflection, general scientific methodology, methodology of science at the interdisciplinary level, methodology of private sciences). At the same time, methodological concepts related to individual activities are developed (for example, design methodology).
MODELING
modeling (from Latin modulus-measure, sample) is one of the most important scientific techniques, which is the study of an object, phenomenon, or process by building and studying their models, i.e., objects that are in relation to the similarity to the original object, process, or phenomenon.
NORMAL SCIENCE
is a state of science when scientists, while setting and solving problems, act according to the general model of activity – the paradigm. T. Kuhn, reflecting on the problem of determining the specifics of science, noted that, unlike other areas of intellectual activity, procedures for testing experimental judgments play an important role in science. At the same time, in certain periods of the development of science, their rationality is not questioned. Moreover, according to T. Kuhn, normal science does not criticize the prevailing paradigm, and sets the scientific community both methodological models of research and socio­psychological norms of behavior.
OBSERVATION
observation is the initial method of empirical scientific knowledge.
PARADIGM
‒ paradigm (comes from Greek. – sample) – theory (model of the problem statement), adopted as a model for solving research problems.
PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
is a philosophical direction, the main problem of which is science as an epistemological and socio­cultural phenomenon.
Glossary

PROBLEM
a problem (Greek: próblēma, task, task, difficulty) ‒ objectively appears in the course of the
development of science contradictions.
RESEARCH PROGRAM
The research program is the main unit of the development and evaluation of scientific knowledge. It is a series of successive theories united by a set of fundamental ideas and methodological principles. The research program combines: conventionally accepted, resulting in a non-refutable «hard core»; positive heuristics, the content of which is based on the arguments and assumptions aimed at further changing and
developing «refutable variants» of the research
program; set by the research program, positive heuristics helps the scientist make a choice from a variety of anomalies; and, finally, a «protective
belt» consisting of auxiliary hypotheses, and, which
is considered as some kind of protection. The main function of the protective belt is the preservation of the core which can completely transform to protect it.
SCIENCE
is a special type of cognitive activity aimed at developing objective, systemically organized and grounded knowledge about the world. The definition of science is supplemented by a new image of science, which seeks to identify a different hypostasis of science – science as a social institution that ensures the functioning of scientific cognitive activity.
SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
‒ is an organized body of professional scientists. In the content of the concept of «scientific community», it is possible to identify the main characteristics of the scientific profession, which are provided by the activities of institutions and mechanisms of the scientific community. First, the scientific community is responsible for the
Glossary

possession of a set of special knowledge, its storage, transfer and control. Secondly, the autonomy of the scientific profession means attracting and training personnel, as well as controlling their behavior. Third, there should be the interest of the social environment of the scientific profession in new knowledge and specialists. Fourth, the presence of incentive and motivation, in other words there should be forms of reward. Fifth, maintaining an infrastructure coordination and collaboration in the scientific community. The scientific community is responsible for the integrity and effective functioning of science as a profession.
SCIENTIFIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD
is formed with the help of fundamental concepts and principles of science at a certain stage of its historical development, a holistic image of the subject of scientific research, expressed through the main system-structural characteristics. In the process of research, scientific worldviews perform the following functions: first, they systematize scientific knowledge, combining it into complex wholes; second, they are research programs that determine the strategy of scientific knowledge; third, they ensure the objectification of scientific knowledge, their attribution to the object under study and their inclusion in culture. The distinction between disciplinary images of science allows you to select the basic forms of the scientific world: scientific picture of the world; social and natural­scientific picture of the world; special scientific picture of the world.
SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
is a radical change of the process and content of scientific knowledge, associated with the transition to new theoretical and methodological premises, to a new system of fundamental concepts and methods to a new scientific global picture. Also, this process
Glossary

is connected with qualitative transformations of the material means of observation and experimentation, with new ways of evaluating and interpreting empirical data, with new ideas of explanation, validity and organization of knowledge.
SCIENTOMETRICS
is a field of knowledge that deals with the study of science by statistical studies of the structure and dynamics of scientific activity.
SYNTHESIS
a synthesis (from the Greek. Synthesis – connection). It is the connection of various objects or previously selected parts into a single whole, into a system.
THE LANGUAGE OF SCIENCE
is the way of the emergence and existence of scientific knowledge as a certain reality. The language of science is a multi-layered formation, the structure and functioning of which depends on the tasks of formation, translation and development of scientific knowledge.
THEORY
a theory (gr. Theórίa – observation, research) is a form of organized reliable knowledge about a certain subject area that systematically describes, explains and predicts the functioning and development of objects related to this area.
