Research activity of students. Under the research activity is understood the activities of students associated with the decision of the students creative, research tasks with a previously unknown solution (as opposed to the workshop, which serves to illustrate certain laws of nature) and assumes the existence of the main stages characteristic of research in the scientific field, accepted in the science of traditions: the formulation of the problem, the study of the theory devoted to this problematic, the selection of research methods and practical mastery of them, the collection of their own material, its analysis and generalization, its own conclusions. Any research, no matter in which field of the natural or human sciences it is performed, has a similar structure. Such a chain is an integral part of research activity, the norm of its conduct
Educational research and scientific research. The main meaning of research in education is that it is educational.
This means that its main goal is the development of the personality of the student, and not getting an objectively new result, as in "big" science. If in science the main goal is the production of new knowledge, in education the aim of research activity is to acquire to students the functional skill of research as a universal way of mastering reality, developing the ability to research type of thinking, activating the student's personal position in the educational process on the basis of acquiring subjectively new knowledge that is, independently obtained knowledge that is new and personally significant for a particular student).
Therefore, in the organization of the educational process on the basis of research activities, the task of designing the research comes first. When designing research activities of students, the model and methodology of research, developed and adopted in the field of science over the past several centuries, is taken as a basis. This model is characterized by the presence of several standard stages, present in any scientific research, regardless of the subject area in which it develops.
At the same time, the development of research activities of students is standardized by the traditions developed by the scientific community, taking into account the specifics of the study - experience accumulated in the scientific community is used through the task of the system of norms of activity.
