ALL-UKRAINIAN STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION IN THE SPECIALTY 103 “EARTH SCIENCES” (GEOLOGY)

Abstract

The All-Ukrainian Student Research Competition has been held since 2017 with the aim of identifying and supporting gifted student youth, creating conditions for their creative growth, and training highly qualified scientific personnel. Similar student scientific competitions take place in different countries of the world. Students of the Faculty of Geology of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv have repeatedly won prizes in this competition. In 2024, the Professor Orest Matkovskyi Department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry of the Faculty of Geology initiated the holding of the All- Ukrainian Student Research Competition in the specialty 103 “Earth Sciences” (Geology). Therefore, the University has approved the branch competition and appeal commissions. The branch competition commission recommended 11 papers for the final conference, the topics of which are related to various scientific problems of geochemistry, mineralogy, petrography, oil and gas geology, hydrogeology and geotectonics. Papers were graded online using Google Learning Management System tools. The following criteria were used: clarity, logic, and sequence of presentation of the material; critical analysis of the researched problem; display of research methodology; reflection of research independence; presentation of research results; justification and evidence of conclusions; speech culture. The points received by the Competition participants based on the results of the review of the works were averaged with the points received during the defence at the final confere nce.
