Abstract. Part of the INGV activity is focused on the production of resources concerning Educational and Outreach projects on Geophysics and natural hazard topics. The forefront results of research activity, in fact, are periodically transferred to the public through an intense and comprehensive plan of scientific dissemination. In the past 15 years, graphic and visual communication has become an essential point of reference supporting institutional and research activities. Positive experiences are the result of a strict relationship between graphic design and scientific research, in particular the process concerning the collaborative work between designers and researchers. In projects such as the realization of museum exhibition or the production of illustrative brochures, generally designed for broad-spectrum public, the goal is to make easier the understanding and to support the scientific message, making concepts enjoyable and fruitful through the emotional involvement that visual image can arouse. The graphics and editorial products, through composition of signs and images by using different tools (colors, form, lettering) on different media (print, video, web), link to create a strong identity INGV style, in order to make them easily recognizable in Educational and Outreach projects. A project product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color, which unify the piece. Color is used not only to help the logo stand out from the international overview, but in our case to have a unifying outcome across all the INGV sections. A recent and stimulating experience has been the collaboration between INGV project design and its reference scientific community in order to create edu-games, products specifically designed for scientific dissemination. The edu-games have been designed to be an efficient combination of educational content and playful communicative aspects, with the aim therefore to learn while having fun.

Abstract. One of the primary activities of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology; INGV) is the production of resources concerning educational and outreach projects in geophysics and natural hazard topics. This activity is aimed at transferring, periodically, results at the forefront of ongoing research to the public through an intense and comprehensive plan for scientific dissemination. Over the past 15 years, graphic and visual communication have become essential tools for supporting institutional and research activities. In this paper, we describe successful INGV team experiences resulting from a close relationship and collaborative work between graphic designers and research scientists. The main goal of the projects devoted to the general public, through the creation of a museum exhibition or the production of descriptive brochures, is to support scientists in conveying their message and making concepts fruitful, easier to understand but also fully enjoyable thanks to the emotional involvement that images may generate. Through a careful composition of signs and images, and through the use of different visual tools (colours, form and lettering) on different media (print, video and web), the graphics and editorial products together create a strong INGV-style identity, making it easily recognizable in any educational and outreach project. A full project product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and colours, which serve the purpose of unifying the whole set. Colour is used not only to help the project logo to stand out from the international overview but, in our case, also to generate a unifying return across all INGV sections. A recent and highly stimulating experience concerned the creation of edu-games, specifically designed for scientific dissemination, through a close collaboration between INGV graphic designers and their reference scientific community. The edu-games were designed as an effective combination of educational content and playful communicative aspects, leading the young players to learn while having fun.

Scientific Research Activity

Scientific research activity is an essential component of the professional activities of a higher education pedagogue. Exploring the world around, future pedagogues not only organize their knowledge about pedagogy and the profession but also form a pedagogical style, professional and personal worldview. Students' scientific research activity is an important form of professional training, characterized by meaningful and organizational diversity, involves the formation of future pedagogues' knowledge and ability to use it in practice;  the methods of scientific and pedagogical research, development of abilities to the analysis, synthesis, generalization of information obtained from literature sources and in the process of studying pedagogical process. Students' scientific research activities contribute to the development of professionalism of future lecturers of pedagogy, in particular skills and experience of carrying out scientific research activities. The methods we have used in the research process included, in particular, observation, expert evaluation, modelling and forecasting. The level of professionalism of the future lecturer of pedagogy is determined in particular by the development of one’s abilities and skills to organize scientific research activities. The scientific research activity itself is an important condition for the professional growth of the future pedagogue-professional. Scientific research activities of the future pedagogue involve one’s participation in the study of a particular pedagogical situation, observation of a particular pedagogical process, the study of students’ personality development. The generalized result of such activity is the work of the future pedagogue on the implementation of qualification work, which involves advanced study of theoretical aspects, systematization of previously acquired knowledge and supplementing them in the process of practical solution of a defined problem. Here the skills of research organization, organization of the experiment and independent activity are realized.

The efficient use of a scientific application service built on a computing environment requires technology that integrates each application service into a workflow so that the workflow is executed in a cooperative environment. There have been a number of attempts to automate research activities as a scientific workflow. However, there are practical problems in the full automation of research activities for a number of simulation programs and researchers. In the cyber environment for Collaborative and Distributed E-Research (CDER), the types of workflows need to be studied and supported separately and with different methodologies. In this chapter, the authors analyze the scientific research and education processes and categorize them into four types: simulation, experiment, collaborative work, and educational activity. They then describe the applications needed for each category. To justify their categorization of the CDER workflow, they examine the workflow of e-AIRS (e-Science Aerospace Integrated Research System), a problem-solving environment for aerospace research.

Scientific Research Activity

Transformational processes in the modern society, the market approach to training of specialists, increasing of competition in the field of employment determine the relevance of the development of professional mobility of the individual. In general, professional mobility characterizes the readiness and ability of the specialist to socio-psychological and functional-status changes, innovative transformations of themselves and the environment. Obviously, the development of this quality is one of the most important tasks of the vocational school. The most intensive formation of professional mobility is facilitated by various factors, one of which is scientific research activity. The purpose of the article is to characterize the phenomenon of scientific research activity of a modern specialist as a factor of the formation of his professional mobility. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature (to clarify the key concepts of the study), systematization (in order to identify existing scientific approaches to solving this problem), theoretical generalization (to formulate the final provisions and conclusions). The phenomenon of scientific research activity is considered on the example of the specialty «Social work». Scientific research activity is an integral component of social work, which is formed through the separation of the scientific research subsystem in its system. This interpretation of scientific research activity allows us to identify its most important features: it is an empirical scientific research activity; it is purposeful and characterized by the relationship of certain elements, procedures and methods; it is built within the framework of logical and constructive schemes, methods and means of cognition inherent in research activities; it is performed in accordance with the research algorithm; relies on the facts that require empirical verification; the result is new knowledge about the objects of social activity; is a methodological regulation that sets the logical direction of choice of methods and means of activity. In the process of scientific research activity there is the development of professional, systematic, logical, reflective, creative and innovative thinking, the ability to predict the results of work depending on the conditions of activity.

Scientific Research Activity

The formation of scientific research activity abilities in comprehensive school is undoubtedly, a very important sphere still awaiting of particular attention. Current teaching and learning process has basically changed looking from the paradigmatic point of view. Teaching subjects become the means of realization of learners’ demands and interests. Scientific research activity is not an entertainment, but a very responsible, thorough work requiring great self-independence. During this activity children’s analytic thinking becomes stronger, information search and usage abilities are being developed, they can learn to analyze the accumulated material, make presentations, prepare research reports and so on. By doing scientific research, learners approach new knowledge and new methods to solve problems of daily life. The main question is how to combine scientific research and science education. First of all we should elaborate specific policies how to encourage our learners to do scientific research. According to E.Šapokienė (1994), exploration is „a form of the organization of the educational process, when pupils become familiar with the basic methods of research, learn easily comprehensible elements of research methodology, obtain knowledge and skills to individually investigate phenomena of natural and environmental life“. This is also very important from political point of view. After qualitative analysis of the scientific information sources it is possible to separate some categories of importance of the scientific research activity of learners, for example, careers counselling, development of cognitive abilities and skills, formation of values system, development of intelligence, creativity etc. Scientific research activity in comprehensive school is undoubtedly a meaningful, integral sphere, however, for developing such kind of activity in Lithuanian comprehensive schools not an adequate attention was paid up to now. Insufficient attention devoted to scientific research activities is one of the reasons why the classes of ‘Science’ are not popular among students in different countries. We can safely assert that especially in primary school practically not an appropriate attention is paid to formation of scientific-research abilities. It is obvious, that modern teaching process is not favorable orientating pupils for scientist (researcher) career. In the given article the basic documents regulating education in Lithuania are analysed. The conclusion is drawn that the attention to scientific research activity of students is given ever less attention. Key words: scientific research activity, career, comprehensive school, science education.

Scientific Research Activity

The problem of developing the scientific potential of higher education, by improving the organization of research activities of students in universities in Russia and Kazakhstan, does not lose its relevance. The content of pedagogical activity includes the conduct of scientific research in various areas, which is considered not just as a teacher’s right, but above all, as his professional duty. For students of biological specialties of pedagogical universities, one of the basic disciplines, in the learning process of which it is possible to introduce students to research activities from the first year, is zoology. In the conditions of steppes and semi-deserts of Kazakhstan, where small mammals and related ecto-and endoparasitic animals dominate, zoological research in the field of parasitology is of particular relevance. Until recently, the development of parasitology in Kazakhstan was given great importance. Today, for a number of reasons, the spectrum of research in this direction has significantly decreased, which may adversely affect sanitary welfare and public health, livestock productivity, and rational nature management. An analysis of psychological and pedagogical works allows us to conclude that the interest in students’ research activities as a subject of study is increasing. The authors rethink its forms and directions. However, studies on the formation of research activities of students by means of parasitology and other zoological disciplines have not been conducted. The article notes that research activities are technological. Therefore, the set goals should be organized in the form of a taxonomy and focused on the result. The stages and connections between educational and research activities of students in the field of parasitology are revealed, its directions, forms of organization, and criteria for the formation of research activities are substantiated.

Quality disciplines have been widely used for decades in industrial and business fields. It is only in recent times, however, that Quality management and approaches have received proper attention in life science. The development, optimization, validation and dissemination of an innovative way of planning and organizing research activity, inspired by Quality and Project Management principles, is the aim of the present work. Hence, we have generated a Quality Management System for a pilot life science research laboratory that deals with the housing and handling of marine organisms. Based on our Quality system, we have also created the modular software prototype Help4Lab. We could demonstrate that a proper and accurate transfer of Quality culture and methodologies to intellectual and scientific production can facilitate and strengthen scientific research.

In the article the author formulates the main tasks of the legal science. He describes and enumerates various aspects of the scientific activities in the sphere of jurisprudence. The author asks the questions of what the law is and who is personally responsible for the legal researching. Composing the answers to his own questions, the author underlines, that the unified approach to the understanding of law how it is and to the methods, forms, ways and facilities, used while undertaking legal exploring and studies, should be refused. Besides this the author makes a statement, that the objectivity of the legal science and its being in a great social demand are directly depended upon the common people`s participation in the law making process. The author makes a true conclusion, that law, as a social phenomenon and public regulator, is completely and fundamentally based on traditions, habits, customs, culture and tenor of social life, which is law creator. The Scandinavian countries are shown by the author as an above said example, providing the active participation of the common inhabitants in the law making procedures there. The author expresses his own viewpoint, concerning the realization of the conception, aimed at the democratic, social and legal state maintaining procedure. In the article it is shown, that it can be fulfilled only through the rational, reasonably self – sufficing and conscientious law making. Further on the author displays the arguments, providing the existence of the mutual dependence between the appropriately effected law making and the properly ensured state and social interactivity promotion. The article also presents the correlation between the different and various criteria, implemented for the public law research and for the private law studies. Then the author makes a reader pay attention to the necessity to elaborate a real rank and a succession of the undertaken legal scientific research ventures in the sphere of law, in order to learn a human being first and only then to study a society but not on the contrary. At the same time it is very important to determine a subject, an object, the matter, the tasks, the goals, the facilities, a method and a way of scientific analytic research in learning law. It is also mentioned, that it is of a vital importance how to correlate and to consider the difference between the status and the development of legal theory on one hand and the legal practice on the other hand. The author is sure, that nowadays the convergence of the democratic and the autocratic methods, facilities, forms and ways of state governing should become one of the most substantial matters of the scientific research in the field of law. The author is persisting on his proposal of the obligatory usage of the potential of the other, contiguous to the legal one, adjacent sciences in order to obtain the most magnificent effect on the way to understanding law. At the very end of the article, while installing his inferences, the author describes his recommendations, targeted at the perfection of the scientific legal research activity quality, at the professional legal application level heightening and at the provision of the scholars` and of the legal practitioners` choice of the most optimal ways of approbation the results of the scientific research ventures, obtained by them. Particularly the author suggests promulgating these results done in the concrete determined forms, such as: through incorporating them into the process of teaching at the legal high schools, by a thorough selection of the informational resources for scientific analysis, by elaborating the criteria of the scientific research activities’ quality estimation and by combining the usage of the normative and functional approach to understanding the destination and the role of law.

For a researcher, compiling or managing a research proposal is a significant step because this step dramatically determines the success or failure of all research activities. For this reason, management is needed from a management research activity, because it is one of the activities that are scientific. Management of research proposals or often referred to as research planning is one example of a management report that is described in detail from the study design that will be carried out to answer existing problems. In a term, there is an understanding of a proposal. It seems that a study is not only intended for individuals because the proposed word implies that something is still waiting for an answer or permission from another party. It is expected that with the management of a scientific research activity management has a clear purpose, which later can be useful as a study material about a matter and most importantly as a reference in making decisions for the benefit of the public or the government or private parties or companies.
