The article analyzes the state of methodical training of future teachers for the organization of research activities during biology education. The article analyzes model programs "Biology. 7-9 grades" for institutions of general secondary education. The current state of methodical training of future teachers for the organization of research activities during biology education has been clarified. It has been found that the research approach in the education of education seekers is implemented through the study of all educational disciplines, the formation of research biological skills, takes place during the training of professional disciplines, and is consolidated during the training of selective disciplines and practical training. Acquiring research skills by students is one of the priority tasks of modern biological education. Because STEM education is based on the practical, interdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills to solve practical tasks that students face, not only during education, but also in everyday life. Accordingly, training should aim to teach students disciplines in a pleasant and, above all, practical way, since it is a project-based form of training. Higher education should be aimed at awakening the scientific interest of students and developing their ability to solve problems. The purpose of such training is to teach students to apply an interdisciplinary approach during training, to adapt knowledge and skills to real-life problems, to give them more tools for future professional activities. Mastering research skills by students is one of the priority tasks of modern biological education.

Leadership qualities as a component of the professional activity of a conductor-choirmaster

Statement of the problem. Recent research and publications. The relevance of the problem of developing leadership qualities is associated not only with the professional characteristics of the conductors but also with various directions of their professional career.

Smirnova (2021), I. Poluboiarina (2013), O. Komarovska (2014), O. Prokulevych (2017). Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The discourse on acquiring, along with professional knowledge and skills, the so-called “soft skills” – the skills that help to grow professionally and achieve success in the field of conducting and choral skills remains open. The purpose of the research is to determine the influence of leadership qualities on the effectiveness of the professional activity of a conductor-choirmaster and to justify the connection between the formation of necessary competencies and successful multi-vector career growth of the specialist.
