Abstract

The article characterizes institutional practices for updating the content of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) training in educational sciences under conditions of digitalization and martial law. The current state of PhD training is analyzed based on a review of educational documentation (educational and research programs, syllabi, and course descriptions of psychological and pedagogical disciplines), the study of the academic community’s needs, and observation of the educational process. The results of the study confirm that traditional approaches to organizing the educational process do not fully meet the needs of PhD candidates in terms of mobility, digital integration, development of psychological resilience, as well as modern requirements for scientific communication and open science. It is established that an effective response to strategic challenges in PhD training is the development of institutional practices based on the synergy of research and educational partnerships, which contribute to the design and implementation of innovative educational products. The key characteristics of such practices include integrated content, practice-oriented learning, and mentoring support. It is substantiated that institutional practices for updating the content of PhD training in educational sciences constitute a set of organizational and pedagogical decisions, mechanisms, and forms of activity of higher education institutions and research organizations aimed at adapting educational and research programs to the conditions of digitalization and martial law. The structural components of innovative scientific and methodological support are identified and characterized as content-based, technological, digital, and ethical. It is proven that their integration ensures the systematic updating of educational and research programs, contributes to the development of a competitive researcher capable of effective scientific communication, the use of open science tools, and the responsible application of artificial intelligence technologies. The institutional experience of implementing methodological support for PhD training in partner higher education institutions is summarized, confirming the effectiveness of network interaction, inter-institutional partnerships, and the integration of educational and research resources. It is established that the key directions for updating the content of training include the development of a research culture, digitalization of the educational process, implementation of open science principles, strengthening of language and communication training, and the formation of ethics in research activities in the context of AI use.
