Digital Humanitarian Project as a Component of Digital Humanities

Abstract

Introduction. Digitalization and innovative sphere of scholarly research, "digital humanities", integrates the methodological apparatus and develops the potential of the humanities and engineering sciences under the condition of their effective interaction. One of the elements of the infrastructure of the digital humanities is research projects to create resources and databases of humanities knowledge. Problem Statement. Defining the concept of digital humanitarian project and its features is important for the development of interdisciplinary methodology of humanities and information technology. Purpose. The purpose is to substantiate the properties of Digital Humanitarian Project (DHP) as innovative research product, which is important in modern scientific communication and should be an officially recognized type of scholarly research electronic publication. Materials and Methods. Methods for historiographical and structural analysis and synthesis of DHP research concepts and completion of humanitarian digital projects at the NAS of Ukraine, and several other methods have been used. Results. For the first time the research has summarized the concept of DHP as interdisciplinary research product based on the analysis of modern concepts of digital humanities. Conclusions. The digital humanitarian project as a component of the digital humanities is an innovative research result and a type of scholarly research publication. The specific criteria are as follows: intellectual and innovative contribution of the interdisciplinary team to the development of scientific knowledge; importance for the development of educational and research infrastructure; influence on other DHP. The new model of scientific communication provides for the introduction and improvement of digital technologies in the processes of research and procedures for obtaining, processing, publishing, managing, and using scientific data, forming relevant humanities knowledge bases using achievements of socio-humanities, library and information activities etc. The criterion of new knowledge is not only a new content, but also new means of organization, classification, and interaction with this content.

The effectiveness of the project method in teaching humanitarian disciplines

“…It should be mentioned that scholars emphasize the indispensability of utilizing active methodologies for teaching humanities, thus facilitating the effective acquisition of sophisticated terminology and encouraging creative thinking through research-based activities as a practical component of learning [18]. Additionally, in Dubrovina et al [19] is underscored the importance of constructivist approaches in learning and teaching, which encompass collaborative work while emphasizing students' responsibility as active participants during their own learning process. One of these active methods is project-based learning, which is an indispensable tool when teaching humanitarian disciplines, studying and accumulating complex expertise, as it encourages students to work in groups with a clear understanding of the goal.…”

Library’s Augmented Reality (AR) Projects: Foreign Experience

“…Водночас, поряд із популяризацією готової інформаційної продукції з AR і наданням до неї доступу, бібліотеки здатні брати участь у створенні власних продуктів на основі доповненої реальності шляхом реалізації відповідних проєктів, які кваліфікуються сьогодні науковцями як цифрові гуманітарні проєкти і відображають розвиток цифрової гуманітаристики (Dubrovina et al, 2021;Ярошенко & Чуканова, 2018). При цьому, як правило, реалізація таких проєктів відбувається на основі корпоративної взаємодії з іншими інституціями або підрозділами.…”

The Impact of Digitization of Libraries on the Educational Process in the Context of Distance Learning

“…This is explained by the provision of intellectual and innovative interaction as a result of the focus on an interdisciplinary approach. Digital technologies facilitate processing, management of scientific data, and their publication (Dubrovina et al, 2021).…”
