for children, Dunayevska adhered to aesthetic and scientific principles in selecting and processing folklore materials. She selected fairy tales according to the classical classification by thematic groups: magical, about animals, and social and everyday fairy tales. Dunayevska tried to find the brightest examples of fairy tales from the point of view of content, an artistic realization of an idea, and a compositional solution. She searched for texts in various collections, unprinted sources, and ancient collections. Dunayevska insisted on careful, minimal processing of grammatical forms and lexical material, providing dictionaries at the end of the collections. In total, Dunayevska was the compiler of more than 20 collections of Ukrainian fairy tales and fairy tales of the peoples of the world. She is the author of notes to the first volume of Mykhailo Hrushevsky's History of Ukrainian Literature (1993), the author and co-author of two university folklore textbooks. Dunayevska published four collections of folk prose and songs and four collections of poetry. She created three scripts for scientific and educational films and a slide film. Dunayevska compiled about 20 educational programs and other educational materials for higher education institutions. Honors For the best scientific research in folkloristics and philology, Dunayevska became a laureate of the Filaret Kolessa Prize of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (2001).
