DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS IN HIGHER SCHOOL: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE

Teacher research constitutes an integral component of a pedagogue's professional activity, serving the purpose of comprehending and transforming the pedagogical reality through the application of scientific insights and methods. One of the benefits of such endeavors is enhanced research competence. The present paper delves into the approaches to developing research competence of students within the higher education institutions of European countries. The research methods include literature analysis, systematization (to elucidate key research concepts), comparative analysis (to discern the peculiarities of research competence development among students in European higher education), and synthesis (to formulate original conclusions). Based on the synthesis of scientific approaches (including the personal, activity-based, competence-based, systemic, knowledge-based, procedural-technological), research competence is construed as an integral quality of an individual, encompassing skills for conducting research to address educational issues and instructional management. A systematic examination of the approaches to research competence development among students in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France reveals a consistent and methodical progression. In the early stages of formal education, students are exposed to research-oriented learning, while in subsequent phases, they actively participate in undergraduate and graduate research. A recurring theme is the early engagement of students in research activities, bolstered by specific pedagogical conditions and teaching methodologies. These conditions include the encouragement of students' involvement in research, the reinforcement of interdisciplinary dimensions, and the pivotal role played by research advisors in coordinating student research endeavors. Additionally, active teaching methods, such as discussions, workshops, seminars, simulations, situational analyses, practical experiences, internships, and independent research, significantly contribute to the effective engagement in research activities. Project-based and problem-oriented learning methods emerge as predominant didactic approaches, seamlessly blending students' autonomous work with collaborative endeavors within small research groups. Key forms of research competence development encompass lectures, seminars, practical sessions, and consultations. These educational formats not only motivate students to apply their acquired knowledge in practical contexts but also ignite their enthusiasm for independent exploration, fostering creativity.

From an Empty, to an Almost Full, and Eventually to a Never Full Glass: The Evolving Challenges of Medical Education.

It has traditionally been considered that the larger the amount of knowledge, the greater the competency of a physician. However, the vertiginously fast accumulation of novel knowledge in modern medicine raises the risk that students and residents get lost in the chaos of information to which they are exposed. Thus, it becomes evident that redefining the model of medical education (and possibly rethinking what a "good" doctor means) becomes inevitable. Current challenges in medical training include early engagement of medical students in research activities and evidence-based medicine procedures, as well as adoption of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Gradually, the paradigm of the competent physician will transform from the "one who knows well" to "one who knows well where to search for knowledge." Given that person-centeredness remains an essential goal of medical education, supervision and assistance by academic staff are needed to ensure that the new training model has a positive impact on person-centered and doctor-patient relationships.

Methodological teaching-learning experiments applied to Geotechnical Engineering

The use of problem-based and project-based learning is beneficial. The teaching-learning process requires the development of a critical, objective, and rational mind. This paper analyzes methodological experiments from the teaching-learning process carried out in the geotechnical area of the civil engineering program at three universities in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, for more than 40 years. Three integrated experiments are presented. In the first experiment, undergraduate students in geotechnical engineering courses interacted with companies operating in the area, conducting laboratory and field tests and geotechnical instrumentation. The second experiment integrated students and teachers from different areas of the civil engineering program around a multidisciplinary project, while the third brought together undergraduate and graduate (master and doctoral) student research activities into a single project that extends from the development and construction of geotechnical equipment and applications of new soil improvement techniques to land use planning and occupation. )This study demonstrated the use of positive teaching-learning experiences carried out in the teaching of geotechnical engineering in the development of civil engineers who have technical skills and professional competences. It contributed to the advancement of knowledge in the development of new equipment, soil improvement, testing techniques and in the use, planning and occupation of soils. The interaction between the university, society and government institutions in problem solving also contributed.

Students’ engagement in research at the university: A sociological analysis

One of the priorities of Russia’s scientific-educational policy is to increase the attractiveness of a career in science and higher education. The Russian government implements a number of federal programs aimed at involving the youth in research activities. Students’ research work is a traditional integral part of the educational process, an element of the generational continuity, of the formation and renewal of scientific schools, of tutoring and professional training. However, when students are involved in research, there are difficulties determined by the peculiarities of the organization of the higher education and by the students’ personal characteristics. The article considers the features of the participation of the Russian universities’ students in research, their scientific achievements and problems that limit or hinder their involvement in research activities, reduce their motivation and satisfaction with studies in general. The article is based on the survey of the Russian universities’ students, conducted by the Center for Education Development Strategy of the Moscow State University in November - December 2022 (N = 123977). The results of the survey show that, when studying at the university, students differ significantly in the quality and forms of training, realization of individual abilities and inclinations, level of motivation and requests for higher education. Therefore, the educational process should be organized in such a way as to comprehensively realize the students’ individual abilities, provide a flexible approach to educational trajectories and support the involvement of the majority of students in research activities.
