Purpose. To define the methodological approaches and directions for developing research competencies in students of full-time general higher education programs.
Methods. Theoretical analysis.
Findings. Directions of the formation of research competencies among students of full-time general higher education programs are proposed. It is demonstrated that the implementation of these directions requires a comprehensive approach, including the integration of scientific research into the educational process, the establishment of a mentoring system, the stimulation of both students and teaching staff, and the development of academic mobility programs. These measures can significantly enhance the level of research competencies among students and prepare them for successful professional activities. It is established that an educational process incorporating elements of research activity allows students not only to deepen their knowledge in a specific field but also to develop skills in systemic thinking, analytical and critical analysis, as well as the ability to work with information and new technologies. Through participation in research activities, students not only cultivate their reasoning, justification, and argumentation skills but also enhance their ability to publicly present and defend the results of their work. Furthermore, they recognize themselves as subjects of the research process, acquiring skills in solving research-related challenges.
Application field of research. The educational process of full-time general higher education programs.
