THE PROGRAM OF SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH AS A GUARANTEE OF RESEARCH EFFECTIVENESS
AbstractThis article discusses some issues related to the program of sociological research, in particular, the requirements for defining the research problem and object. Referring to Soviet and post-Soviet Russian-language literature on sociological research, the author attempts to revise their definitions. The article expresses the idea that the object of sociological research is ultimately people because, without their social participation, no social phenomenon is manifested. The research problem is the question that the researcher raises when getting acquainted with a problematic situation. The author implies that the research problem carries a social contradiction. He develops the idea that the contradiction arises in the researcher's consciousness when he combines the problematic situation with his perceptions of the subject. It is then that a contradiction arises between his expectations and reality. The basis of sociological research is usually not a social problem, as many authors point out, but a research and scientific problem.

Modeling of Informatization Process within the Framework of Socio-Cultural Approach
AbstractThis paper presents a way of modeling the informatization process through a new approach that is called socio-cultural. Informatization is defined as the global process of information (the main resource of management and development of modern societies) possession to enhance the intellectual potential of society and its members, which will ensure further progress of the civilization. The social-cultural approach is characterized as a) social determination of society’s informatization process, b) the large-scale spread of the influence of information technologies upon all sectors of the society and resources of human activities. It provides an opportunity to examine the process of informatization (typical for modern societies) not only from the perspective of technical impact but also, more importantly, from the perspective of social impact. Within the framework of the sociocultural approach, the author identifies and analyzes the following criteria: technological, socio-political, socio-economic and cultural. These criteria are analyzed from the perspective of Armenian society.

ON TERMINOLOGICAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE PHENOMENON OF CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF GUARDIANSHIP.
AbstractThe article discusses terminological issues related to the phenomenon of children deprived of guardianship. As a result of a contextual analysis of the basic concepts used in the article, the author proposes a new approach to the interpretation of the phenomenon. It is based on two main dimensions: 1) the concept of carelessness in the context of "adult-carer" and "child under care” and 2) in the frame of "de facto carelessness" vs "obtained social status" as a result of carelessness.
