The importance of methodological disciplines in the formation of research competence of future teachers of natural sciences, physics, chemistry, and biology is emphasized. It has been found that the research approach in the methodological training of future teachers requires the use of specific teaching methods and technologies (project, contextual, case technology, research laboratory work). It contributes to the research competence of higher education students development, in particular, their ability to organize students’ research activities in science classes in general secondary education institutions.

MEANS OF RESEARCH COMPETENCE FORMATION IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DURING BUSINESS FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES

The article examines the means of research competence formation in university students during Business Foreign Language classes. The means of research competence formation through the developing of its key components such as methodological literacy, analytical skills, critical thinking skills and communication skills have been outlined. The development of methodological literacy is seen as a multifaceted process involving the study of the theoretical underpinnings of research, the practical application of methods, the development of critical thinking and data analysis skills. Analytical skills – the ability to process and interpret information – are considered necessary for a deep understanding of language, the effective use of new knowledge and its integration into different contexts. It has been noted that analytical skills help higher education students not only to learn grammar and vocabulary, but also to apply knowledge in real-life situations, to draw logical conclusions and to structure educational information. The development of critical thinking skills is observed as an important element in the successful acquisition of both language and analytical skills. They can be formed by integrating different tasks that encourage students to analyse, evaluate and argue. The development of communication skills is facilitated by the active practice of different formats, with the opportunity not only to learn business vocabulary, but also to master effective strategies of interaction in a work context. The means of developing research competence and its key components in Business English have been indicated. They are discussion of current office work issues, analysis of authentic business texts, translation and interpretation of business documents, presentations (reports), research projects, writing abstracts and business letters.

The content of the lecture and practical course is based on the author's manuals and the author's monograph, on the material of modern Russian and foreign research on scientific functional style, the study of the language (vocabulary and terminology) of architecture. Texts from literary sources of interest to architects were used as examples. Research results. Successful accomplishment of course objectives is the result of the development and implementation of the structural and content model of teaching in the educational process, including the author's course program and the basic author's methodology, inextricably linked with modern philological studies of architectural and construction discourse, including the sublanguage of architecture and architectural terminology. With the discipline's focus on the formation of general language, universal and professional culture of future masters of architecture it is advisable to use a cross-genre methodological model of teaching with the reliance on the leading principles of construction and implementation of the course such as educational content selection, scientific approach, rationality, historicism, taking into account the motivation and needs of students, accessibility of didactic material, individual approach in teaching, educational teaching and interactivity described information could be interesting for teachers of the Russian language of architectural and construction universities. Conclusion. The described course helps architecture graduate students to broaden their general cultural and professional outlook, to get an idea of another kind of language – scientific language and its genres, scientific communication in Russian, and to master the skills of Russian scientific writing. The course gives students a new perspective on the texts they produce, helps them to understand their own identity as a linguistic person who is as much responsible for the creation of written texts as for the results of architectural and urban planning projects.

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.
