Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of the study is that in the primary grades, science is most demanding for pupils, due to a lack of interest in the subjects. Stimulating curiosity for scientific knowledge and enhancing students' competence is possible through the professional training of teachers. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to explore and examine the concept of research competence of primary school students in the content of renewed education to enhance the quality of learning activities through the implementation of innovative forms of learning. Methodology. The study utilized modern scientific methods, including sociological, functional, and survey approaches to examine the impact of the renewed education system on the younger generation and the formation of research competence in it. Results. Although innovation education is now at its height, its popularity in the Republic of Kazakhstan is still relatively new and gaining in significance. While state-provided resources support the development of research competence, educators play a pivotal role in advancing modern teaching methods. Project-based learning, practical exercises, and collaborative activities are integral components of the program, aligning with the trend towards open learning. However, challenges persist as some educators perceive curiosity as obstructive, and variations in student attitudes influence the development of research competence. By cultivating emotional engagement and employing activating methods, educators enhance student motivation and interest, facilitating the acquisition of research skills. Conclusions. The practical significance consists of overcoming the difficulties of the learning process by implementing research competence in the content of the renewed education through classroom and extracurricular activities, experiments and appropriate cognitive methods during the educational process.
