Main Features of Students' Research Competency Formation in a Liberal Arts Curriculum

摘要

There are main features of students' research competency formation in a Liberal Arts Curriculum. Researchers highlight the main features of that process: firstly, this research competency formation is based on the students' individual and collaborative research activities; secondly, the development of a reflexive attitude to research activity and its results; thirdly, results of positioning their own research experience in the educational and academic community. Basic forms of research activity organization at each stage are examined: students' creative associations, teachers' and students' problem-creative group, scientific and practical conferences. It is distinguished that focused efforts in forming of students' research competency in the classroom and after-hours activities contribute to students' successful implementation in professional self-determination. As a result, students can try their hand at applying research skills for various educational projects and their future professional activity.
