Abstract. Introduction. School Subject Olympiads are academic competitions held worldwide on an annual basis. Interest in competitions aimed at developing creative abilities within the framework of research activities is manifested in more than 100 states. The relevance of the study is due to the increasing mass participation in intellectual competitions and high stakes in the form of academic bonuses for admission to institutions of higher education. Purpose. The purpose of our research is to study the specific features of the Olympiad movement in Russia, on the basis of which common hallmarks of Olympiads are distinguished.
Materials and methods. Methodologically, we rely on the principles of systemic, activity, axiological and cultural approaches. The theoretical methods of research include the study of scientific literature on the topic, generalization, classification; empirical methods include content analysis of test materials and study of the regulatory framework for Olympiads in the Russian Federation.
Results. As a result of our research, we managed to point out the essential characteristics of the Olympiad as a pedagogical phenomenon, while determining the essence of this intellectual competition.
Conclusion. Thus, the study highlights the features of the Olympiad as a pedagogical phenomenon. Theoretical significance is refracted in the nomination of the original definition of
the Olympiad, which is based on the features of the modern Olympiad movement in Russia. Practical significance lies in the ability to rely on the results obtained in further studies, as well as to operate with an updated term in the regulatory documentation.
