Dear Author!

Here are the guidelines for paper submission in the volume of the European Proceedings of Social & Behavioural Sciences (EpSBS) on the materials of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Pedagogical Education: History, Present Time, Perspectives (PEHPP 2019)”. All articles are to be prepared according to a common template corresponding to the standards of scientific publications of the Future Academy.

While preparing the paper for submission, it is highly recommended to pay special attention to the following points:

1. The submitted material should be original (not less than 90%), not previously published in other publications, written in a scientific style using mostly modern scientific literature and contain novelty.

2. The article should clearly indicate the relevance, scientific significance, research results and conclusions. The corresponding sections of the article are to be inserted into the template of the Publishing House. Please do not change the font style and size, margins and footnotes. All sections of the template should be filled in (The section "Acknowledgments" only may be an exception).

3. The volume of the article is limited to 7 pages (no more than 25 thousand characters, no more than 3 authors).. The headline of the article can contain 8 words maximum. Try to observe this restriction and make sure that there are no text breaks and blank pages in the article.

The author may have several affiliations, in this case, you need to specify them with a comma. The name of the 1^st author (the corresponding author) is indicated by *. Please indicate the current contacts, as all the necessary information related to the preparation of the article for publication (comments, editorial changes, the publication consent form, etc., without which the article cannot be published), will be sent to the specified address of the corresponding author.
