EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH ACTIVITY AS A CONDITION TO FORM MORAL VALUES IN MODERN SCHOOLCHILDREN

Abstract

The article highlights the relevance of studying conditions to develop moral values among modern schoolchildren in the process of educational and research activities. The essence of the concept of “educational and research activity” has been defined in the context of the stated topic. The stages of educational and research activities are characterized in relation to moral values. The experience of organizing educational and research activities for schoolchildren based on the material from the “Holocaust – Memory and Prevention” competition is described. The study’s results made it possible to identify changes in the motives of young researchers during their educational and research activities and to determine the nature of the personal growth that occurred. The author managed to identify a set of pedagogical conditions for organizing students’ educational and research activities that contribute to the formation of their moral values, address their current interests and motives, and reveal effective forms, methods, and techniques of interaction, including reflection as a tool for self‑knowledge and self‑assessment.
