The developmental content environment is one of the key components of an innovative educational space.

Such as students’ albums and drawing-books, sets of paper and cardboard are a material basis for the tasks of the curriculum for drawing, drafting, appliqués, art work, etc. There are no modern standard approaches to their creation. Therefore, there is a need to identify technical and pedagogical requirements for these learning tools and further to consolidate them in the national standard of Ukraine.

As a result, the types of student albums and drawing-books, paper and cardboard sets that will become the subject of standardization are outlined. They are defined at the level of terms and definitions. Regulatory dimensions and volumes for each of these types of facilities were specified. Characteristics of the first and foremost technical and pedagogical requirements to them were produced, namely: quality of the materials for making albums, drawings-books, sets according to the educational purpose of products, standards of color standardization, design and configuration products, ways to fasten sheets in blocks, requirements for the artistic and textual design of covers and folders. The results, which were obtained, will form the basis for further applied research of the development and approval of the national standard of Ukraine – “Facilities of studies. Student's albums and drawing books. Student's sets of paper and cardboard. General specifications”. The practical significance of this regulatory document will also be a determination of the mandatory requirements for the labeling, packaging, storage, transportation of ready products, as well as the requirements of safety, environmental protection at the enterprises of the printing industry.
