Organization of the research activities of service majors trainees

Abstract

The theoretical foundations of the organization of research activities of the trainees in the field of service areas are considered, taking into account the requirements of the system approach. The main tasks of students’ research activity are identified and their content characteristics are determined. The basic directions of the organization of scientific research activity of students of service majors are determined. The experience of organization of research activities of students in the studied field is presented on the example of major 43.03.01 Service, ensuring the continuous participation of students in scientific work during the entire period of study. This system is distinguished by the continuity of methods and forms from course to course; from one academic discipline to another; from one type of study to another, which is one of the most important principles of this system work. Research activity is an essential part of the system of training of a highly qualified, demanded by the labor market, initiative specialist who is able to think critically and take innovative methods and technologies to achieve high results. The result of educational and research activities in the educational institution is the formation of general cultural and professional competencies, personal qualities of the student, his motivation, reflection and self-esteem. Conclusions and experience in organizing research activities of students can be used in vocational education institutions.
