In the paper is considered the several parts of research for knowledge creation in the frame of themodern higher educational reforms. They are: Problem idea, thinking about cultural and social changein society through research and technology development and the main research directions of higheducational reforms towards a knowledge.1. Problem idea: The problem is considered in the various cases:First, on the bachelor level student must understand research methods which may be student can usein future. The educational programs do not supply this level and more, when student prepares masterthesis, he/she must use these methods actually.Second, at the universities would be organizing student focus groups or even one-on-oneconversations in order to gain better insights into how the students conduct their research. That mightallow us to better understand how students approach research assignments and where they are mostchallenged and organize research centers at the universities, where we can devise the effectivemethods of helping our students to develop the research skills as the students see their professors asmore helpful with research assignments whereas students at research universities find their facultyharder to reach for help and less understanding.Third, the academic research is a painful process for students. Research is difficult and theeducational reforms must improve students’ research competences as the students don’t understandthat not every research topic is a good one.2. Thinking about cultural and social change in society through research and technology development:Today public discussion about the role of research by using new technology and their influence onsociety plays an overgrowing role in social life and become concentrated on knowledge andknowledge societies, communities and Social networks which promote new research methods foraffecting all aspects of modern education reforms.3. The main research directions of high educational reforms towards a knowledge as the relationshipof Education and Knowledge through ICT and The role of knowledge for decision making
