the integrity of the individual. As a teacher, she created an original method of teaching folklore, combining the traditions of academic teaching with various forms of direct communication of students with a living oral-poetic tradition. She called such classroom classes, where authentic speakers of folklore and the students themselves performed dumas, ritual songs, or staged performances of a nativity puppet theater, "illustrated lectures." One of the forms of Dunayevska's educational work was the organization of folklore evenings, where students and representatives of different peoples of the world performed their original songs along with outstanding performers. She created folklore clubs, where it was possible to prepare scientific folklore conferences and listen to reports and lectures of famous folklorists-contemporaries from the Rylsky Institute of Art Studies, Folklore, and Ethnology. Her students and postgraduates participated in numerous scientific conferences in Ukraine and abroad. In total, 29 candidate's and three doctoral theses were defended under the supervision of Dunayevska. Research activities Professor Dunayevska is known in Ukrainian science primarily for her conceptual developments in the theory and history of Ukrainian folkloristics, the founder of the Department of Folkloristics, and the founder of the professional training of folklorists at Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University. After the opening of the department in 1992 and the specialty of folklore studies in 1993, and later the specialization of musical folklore studies in 2001, Dunayevska directed the scientific and pedagogical activities of the department to improve the following courses: "Oral Folk Art," "History of Folklore," "Theory of Folklore." She developed new courses such as "Ukrainian Mythology," "Customary Law," "World Epic," "Ethnopsychology," "Ethnopedagogy," "Folklore Teaching Methodology," "Folk Music," etc. Dunayevska paid great attention to the study of the historiography of Ukrainian folklore. In particular, she was interested in the problems of the nature and specificity of Ukrainian folklore. She studied regional peculiarities of Ukrainian folklore, folklore-literary mutual influences, international connections in folklore, and folklore genres. Ukrainian fairy tales and folk prose are among the main objects of Dunayevska's research. She had a scientific interest in studying archetypal images, world folklore universals, elements of Proto-Slavic mythology in Ukrainian oral and poetic literature, typology and evolution of various folklore genres, peculiarities of folklore life in modern civilizational conditions, etc. Compilation and publishing activities The main task of Dunayevska as a folklorist was to record samples of folk art and popularize them, which she did with her composing activity.
