DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH SKILLS OF UNIVERSITY MASTER STUDENTS AS A FACTOR OF SUCCESSFUL TRAINING FOR THE PROFESSION

Abstract

The presented article, as a scientific study, raises topical issues of developing research skills of modern MA students. The author (the Government of the Russian Federation) provides documentary evidence (the Government of the Russian Federation) of the relevance of developing research skills of master’s students as a factor in the successful preparation of graduates for their future profession. According to the author, it is the research skills of future specialists that ensure a constant influx of new knowledge and innovations as the basis for innovative dynamics and scientific progress in Russia. The author substantiates the concept of “research skills of MA students” in the light of modern requirements and with the involvement of theoretical and methodological analysis of a number of scientific materials. Based on the essence and content of this concept, the component composition of research skills is determined based on the structural and functional approach (T. Parsons). The practical part of the article is presented by the selection of diagnostic tools for determining the levels of research skills of graduate students at the initial stage of experimental work. In conclusion, it is concluded that the initial data obtained in the experimental and control groups have a certain similarity between themselves and sufficient separation from the 100% result, which makes it necessary to continue working in the future with the development of the formative and final stages of the study.
