My academic path began during my undergraduate studies when I published my first scholarly paper after winning a student conference. This achievement encouraged me to pursue a deeper engagement with research and education. In 2010, I earned a PhD in Philosophy, and in 2019, I completed my habilitation dissertation, earning the degree of Doctor of Philosophical Sciences. Over the years, I have worked on numerous research projects within Ukrainian institutions and received three international research fellowships in Austria: at the University of Graz, the University of Vienna, and the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM).
I have authored and co-authored over 100 publications, focusing on philosophy, education, and innovative teaching approaches. These include:
Monograph: Genesis of the Culture of Thinking: Logos, Ratio, Vision.
Five Book Chapters: Covering topics like critical thinking, visual literacy, and education.
Co-Authored Monograph: On synergetics and creativity in education.
Teaching Materials: Including the Business Ethics Workbook and Social Adaptation of the Gifted Person.
Scholarly Papers: Exploring visual thinking, digital learning, and educational innovation.
Full list of my publications is available further. While most of my publications are in Ukrainian, I’ve provided a summary of my research areas related to educational research & instructional design.
My research connects closely to instructional design, focusing on:
Visual Thinking and Literacy
Using visual tools to enhance learning (e.g., Visual Thinking in Contemporary Philosophy of Education).
Exploring the role of visual metaphors in digital learning.
Critical Thinking Development
Developing methods to teach critical thinking in creative and interdisciplinary contexts (Critical Thinking: Education, Creativity, Values).
Curriculum and Material Design
Designing practical teaching tools, such as the Business Ethics Workbook for professional education and materials for gifted learners.
Digital Learning Environments
Analyzing the impact of digital tools on learning and socialization (Challenges of Educational Innovations).
