The formation of research thinking among students is an important task of

pedagogy, especially in the context of modern education, where the emphasis is shifting

from knowledge transfer to the development of independent research and critical

thinking skills.

These pedagogical methods can be successfully applied to develop students'

research thinking and prepare them for an active role in modern society and the

professional sphere. Here are some pedagogical possibilities to achieve this goal:

Problem-oriented learning

Research projects

Problem tasks and cases

Technology use

Research activities

Formation of critical thinking

Support and Motivation

Creating learning situations that require students to analyze problems, look for

solutions, and formulate their research questions. This allows students to develop critical

thinking skills and independent information retrieval.

Students conduct small research projects on topics of interest to them. These can

be either individual projects or group studies. Projects must be open enough to

encourage creativity in problem-solving.

Using real or model problem situations from professional practice for training.

Solving such problems requires analysis, research, and decision-making based on

preliminary data.

Integration of modern information technologies such as Internet resources,

databases, computer programs for data analysis, etc. This helps students to explore the

topic and work with information more effectively.

Providing students with the opportunity to participate in scientific research

projects under the guidance of experienced scientific supervisors. This may include

participating in conferences, publishing articles, etc.

Teaching students to analyze and evaluate information, identify false information,

and argue their conclusions.

It is important to create a supportive and motivating environment where students

feel confident in their research efforts and can receive feedback from teachers and peers.

In a modern world saturated with information and constantly changing challenges,

it is important that education is not limited to the simple assimilation of facts, but
stimulates the development of critical thinking, a creative approach to problem-solving,
and the ability to research. In this article, we will look at what methods and approaches
are used to form students' research thinking.

One of the key approaches to the formation of research thinking is problem-

oriented learning. As part of this method, students are offered real or model problems
that they must analyze, look for solutions, and develop strategies to solve them. Such
tasks require the active participation of students, stimulating their critical thinking and
independent research.

Conducting small research projects by students is an effective way to develop their

research skills. These can be either individual projects or group studies. The projects
must be open enough to stimulate creativity in solving problems and exploring new
directions.

Students' participation in research activities plays an important role in the

formation of their research skills. Providing the opportunity to participate in scientific
projects under the guidance of experienced scientific supervisors allows students to
immerse themselves in the research process and gain practical experience in the
scientific field.

One of the key aspects of the formation of students' research thinking is the

development of their critical thinking. This includes analyzing and evaluating
information, identifying false information, and developing the ability to argue one's
conclusions based on evidence.

The integration of modern information technologies into the educational process

also plays an important role in shaping students' research thinking. The use of Internet
resources, databases, computer programs for data analysis and other technologies helps
students to explore the topic and work with information more effectively.

The importance of Problem-oriented learning or VET- VET stands for Vocational

Education and Training, which is a form of education that focuses on providing practical
skills and knowledge required for specific occupations or industries. VET programs often
involve hands-on training, apprenticeships, and work placements to prepare students for
employment in their chosen field.

Problem-oriented learning, on the other hand, is an educational approach that

centers around solving real-world problems or scenarios. Instead of simply memorizing
facts or theories, students engage in activities or projects that require them to apply their
knowledge to address practical challenges. This approach promotes critical thinking,
problem-solving skills, and the ability to transfer learning to new situations.

In the context of vocational education, problem-oriented learning could involve

tasks or projects relevant to the specific industry or occupation being studied. For

example, students in a VET program for automotive mechanics might work on diagnosing
and fixing various car problems, while those in a hospitality program might develop
solutions for improving customer service in a hotel setting.

VET is based on the principle of active learning, where students are actively

involved in solving real or model problem situations. It encourages students to
independently search for information, analyze data, and develop solutions. The problems
proposed in the framework of VET are usually ambiguous and open to interpretation,
which contributes to the development of creative thinking.

How to develop students’ skills in research individual projects? Research projects

provide students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in an in-depth study of a
specific problem or topic. These projects can be interdisciplinary and may include data
collection and analysis, conducting experiments, as well as writing reports and
presentations. Participation in such projects helps students develop critical thinking,
research analysis, and communication skills.

Students’ participation in research activities may include working on projects in

laboratories, participating in scientific conferences, publishing scientific articles, and
receiving research grants. This allows students not only to acquire practical skills in their
field but also to start building their scientific career at the learning stage.

The formation of critical thinking includes not only the analysis of information but

also the ability to critically evaluate and argue. This includes the ability to distinguish
facts from opinions, evaluate the reliability of information sources, and build arguments
based on logical reasoning and evidence.

Modern technologies play an important role in the development of students'

research skills. This includes not only access to information resources via the Internet
but also the use of specialized software tools for data analysis, process modeling, and
visualization of research results.

CONCLUSION

The formation of research thinking among students is an important task of modern

education. The use of various methods and approaches, such as problem-oriented
learning, research projects, research activities, the development of critical thinking, and
the use of modern technologies, allows students to effectively develop research skills and
prepare them for an active role in modern society and the professional sphere.

The integration of these approaches into the educational process contributes not

only to the formation of research thinking among students but also to the training of
personnel capable of effectively solving complex problems of the modern world and
contributing to scientific and professional progress.
