Abstract

The article presents the nature of the research approach and its application in the framework of the studied disciplines of the cycle of technological training. Presented are the results of monitoring study of the skills of 11-14 year old students for research. The design of research-oriented training in technology and entrepreneurship predisposes the increase of the interest in the learning process and the learning motivation in parallel with the implementation of basic educational goals.The suggested tools aim to diagnose the skills of the students in the research training. Described are the basic levels of administration of the research approach in the training and its influence on building skills on a high level (at meta-level) in the students. The idea is similar to Bloomâ€™s taxonomy according to which levels that follow the logical transition from easy to difficult act in the cognitive sphere.Knowledge and basic intellectual skills formed during are explored, with an emphasis on problem-solving cognitive and practical tasks. The creative technical abilities of the students are being studied through case studies and situations, and an algorithm for key research projects has been developed.The focus is on the interdisciplinary research training project which requires a broad general culture and knowledge from various scientific fields. A critical analysis of the results and conclusions about changes in teaching practice takes a special place in the article

Highlights

The quality education is based on the use of progressive strategies for teaching and learning, among which an important place is assigned to the research training
The used research methodology is based on the methods of qualitative research - meaningful analysis of school records in technological training and testing
The proposed tools aim to diagnose the interests of students to research training in the subjects of the cycle of technological training

Summary

Introduction

The quality education is based on the use of progressive strategies for teaching and learning, among which an important place is assigned to the research training. The Learning problem is a practical or a theoretical difficulty to which the solution is a result of the research activity of the student It suggests a combination of knowledge from various scientific areas, giving the opportunity to the learners to independently apply the already acquired knowledge in a new situation. ▪ Formation of terms that place the base of the abstract knowledge; ▪ Planning a series of activities to achieve a particular result; ▪ Decision-making through choice between alternative strategies; ▪ Problem-solving through a series of actions (steps); ▪ Opportunity for reflection by exposing the evidence to support these conclusions and reaching conclusions; ▪ Manifestation of creative imagination and create new images and objects through participation in research activities. The educational research project in the content framework of technological training represents a specific learning task, related to the implementation of planned activities and aims to achieve concrete pragmatically oriented results for a set time. Criteria for evaluation of the project can be: the selection and formulation of the theme of the project; concretization of tasks; selection of appropriate methods for accomplishing the design research task; the presentation of the collected information; the selection of participants, resources, sites for the project, meeting deadlines, etc. (Mitova, 2011)
