On the problem of "scientific passports" development for researches in educational sciences

the relevance of the article is determined by the situation prevailing in the Russian scientific and educational community in 2021: according to Order № 118 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education dated February 24, 2021, a new nomenclature of scientific specialties has been approved for the awarding of academic degrees. At the same time, neither in the text of the order itself, nor in the appendices, there are no explanations regarding the passports of scientific specialties themselves. This article is aimed at filling the gap in the methodology for the development and testing of the relevant documents. To develop the desired methodology, government documents were used on priority directions for the development of fundamental research in Russia until 2030, as well as “big data” obtained using the SciVal and Dimensions expert systems. The main result of the article is the model of passports of three pedagogical related majors, namely - 5.8.1. General pedagogy, history of pedagogy and education; 5.8.2. Theory and methodology of teaching and upbringing (by areas and levels of education); 5.8.7. Methodology and technology of vocational education. The passport drafts are given in the appendix.
