Statement of the problem. To consider and study the concept of scientific and methodological support and formulate its definition in relation to preparation for subject Olympiads, it is necessary to study the main approaches to pedagogical strategy in the process of scientific and methodological support in preparation for subject Olympiads in higher education. Results. The main pedagogical approaches that contribute to improving the quality of preparation of participants for subject Olympiads in universities are being studied. It is noted that any pedagogical activity is characterized by the presence of a clearly defined goal, personally significant for the teacher carrying out this activity, and is motivated by the motives arising from it. Competent educational activity in the process of preparing for the Olympiad in any subject can be successfully carried out only when the scientific and methodological base clearly defines and solves specific educational Olympiad tasks. Conclusion. The article discusses the theoretical and practically significant components of high-quality and competent scientific and methodological support in preparation for subject Olympiads in higher education. The authors update and present the theoretical and practical substantiations of the verified scientific and methodological regulation, designed to improve the preparation of participants in the Olympiads. The main pedagogical approaches that contribute to improving the quality of preparation of participants for subject Olympiads in universities are highlighted.
