The requirement of the time is to increase the level of the professional training aimed at the future Physics teachers who are able to master the ability to observe, plan and perform experiments, process measurement results, hypothesize and build models, set limits for their application, etc., which means that teaching Physics should be accompanied by research activity. The purpose of the conducted research is to form the future competence of physics teachers’ research competence in the process of studying the section "Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics" within the course of General Physics and to apply the gained experience in the organization of students’ research in the course of pedagogical practice. The theoretical analysis of the problem related to the formation of the research competence as well as the practical methods there were used these research methods: questioning, testing, organization of complex educational-research activities at lectures, practical and laboratory classes. The content and structure of the future Physics teachers’ research competence has been defined as a set of motivational, cognitive, operational research-centred, evaluative and reflexive components have been determined. The criteria and indicators have been identified for each of the components alongside with the levels of the research competence (low, medium and high) have been identified. At the ascertaining stage of the experiment, the students' unsatisfactory level of the research competence was determined according to the relevant indicators, namely: students did not want to fulfil the research tasks due to the lack of the information system, their abilities to plan and manage their research activities. To increase the level of the research competence at the formative stage of the experiment, the section of General Physics "Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics" was accompanied by the fulfilment of certain educational research tasks combined both the theoretical lecture material and experimental research material on each topic of the educational program which was mastered and assimilated when performing in nature-oriented and virtual laboratory works as well as in the process of solving these problems. While performing the research tasks of the complex content significantly increased the level of the students’ research competence according to all the indicators, as it was evidenced by the results of the educational research activities. The practical significance of the obtained results was determined by the fact that the system aimed at forming the research competence (on the example of the section of General Physics “Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics”) was developed and implemented in the educational process of training the future Physics teachers on the basis of the complex research activity. It is expedient that one should apply the experience gained within the platform of the formation of the future Physics teachers’ competence while mastering further sections of General Physics. Keeping to this approach, the idea of the content of Physics as a holistic system of universal knowledge, abilities, skills and place of research in the formation of research competence arises must be of great importance. Keywords: future Physics teachers, training, research competence.

В данной статье проанализировано основное различие понятий учебно-исследовательской и научно-исследовательской деятельности. Основной проблемой является развитие мотивации к учебной научно-исследовательской деятельности учащихся. Выявлено, что на мотивационную готовность студентов к научно-исследовательской деятельности могут оказывать влияние многие факторы, рассмотрено их воздействие. В статье приведены различные студенческие мероприятия, которые могут способствовать повышению мотивации учащихся к исследовательской деятельности. Выявлены, проанализированы научно-исследовательские умения и их компоненты (операционный, содержательный, мотивационный). Реализация в профессиональной подготовке традиционных форм обучения (лекции, лабораторные, практические, семинарские занятия, коллоквиумы, курсовые и дипломные работы, консультации, индивидуальные занятия) помогает овладению учащимися научной информацией, но не всегда способствует формированию необходимых умений и навыков. Очевидно, что внедрение новых теоретических обобщений в учебный процесс (чтение преподавателями проблемных лекций, введение новых теоретических разделов по наиболее актуальным проблемам современной науки, расширение перечня учебной литературы и интернет-источников, освоение новых методик исследования, подготовка мультимедийных презентаций) повысит интерес студентов к исследовательской деятельности. Образовательный процесс будет проходить более успешно, если в вузе сформирована эффективная образовательная и научно-исследовательская среда, направленная на развитие личности студента. This article analyzes the main difference between the concepts of educational research activity and research activity. The main problem is the development of motivation for educational research activities at students. The authors revealed that many factors can influence students’ motivation readiness for research activities; considered the impact of those factors. The article presents various student activities that can help to increase students’ motivation for research activities; identifies and analyzes the research skills and their components (operational, content, motivation). The implementation of traditional forms of education in professional training (lectures, laboratory, practical, seminars, colloquiums, term papers and theses, consultations, individual classes) helps students master scientific information, but does not always contribute to the formation of the necessary skills. It is obvious that the introduction of new theoretical generalizations in the educational process (delivering of problem lectures, introduction of new theoretical units on the most relevant problems of modern science, expanding the list of educational literature and Internet sources, development of new research methods, multimedia presentations) will increase the interest of students in research activities. The educational process will be more successful if the University has an effective educational and research environment aimed at the development of the student’s personality.

The article considers issues related to the formation of scientific and research competence in students of nonlinguistic universities by means of a foreign language. Using a foreign language as a tool for obtaining information of a scientific or professional nature is particularly relevant in the current labour market. The distinctive feature of the new federal standard of higher professional education is its focus not only on the accumulation of knowledge, but also on the formation of the ability to apply knowledge in practice, on the development of certain competences. Therefore, it is necessary to switch from the content to the effectiveness of the educational process. Scientific research work is becoming an important part of a student ‘s professional training. This is one of the key factors of development and active formation of the qualities essential for a would be railway specialist. Creation of knowledge-intensive industries in the field of railway transport changes the requirements to the skills of university graduates.

Exploring the world around, future pedagogues not only organize their knowledge about pedagogy and the profession but also form a pedagogical style, professional and personal worldview. Students' scientific research activity is an important form of professional training, characterized by meaningful and organizational diversity, involves the formation of future pedagogues' knowledge and ability to use it in practice;  the methods of scientific and pedagogical research, development of abilities to the analysis, synthesis, generalization of information obtained from literature sources and in the process of studying pedagogical process. Students' scientific research activities contribute to the development of professionalism of future lecturers of pedagogy, in particular skills and experience of carrying out scientific research activities. The methods we have used in the research process included, in particular, observation, expert evaluation, modelling and forecasting. The level of professionalism of the future lecturer of pedagogy is determined in particular by the development of one’s abilities and skills to organize scientific research activities. The scientific research activity itself is an important condition for the professional growth of the future pedagogue-professional. Scientific research activities of the future pedagogue involve one’s participation in the study of a particular pedagogical situation, observation of a particular pedagogical process, the study of students’ personality development. The generalized result of such activity is the work of the future pedagogue on the implementation of qualification work, which involves advanced study of theoretical aspects, systematization of previously acquired knowledge and supplementing them in the process of practical solution of a defined problem. Here the skills of research organization, organization of the experiment and independent activity are realized.

The content and purpose of the future geography teachers’ research activities are considered, its functional structure is investigated in the article. It was determined that the future teachers’ research activity is a dynamic system object, which can be represented in the form of hierarchically set levels of the organization, differing in goals methods of scientific management and the number of participants involved in this activity. It is defined that the foundation of the system is the subsystem of students’ study and research activities, over which the six levels of organization are built. They are: 1) the level of primary students’ scientific associations around the chair topics, 2) the level of the university’s structural unit, 3) the level of the university, 4) the regional level, 5) the all-Ukrainian level, 6) the international level. Each of them has its own specifics and corresponds to the tasks of future geography teachers’ professional preparation. For example, the last one, the sixth level is characterized by the close interaction of the higher education institution with foreign educational institutions- partners and even with associations, international foundations; many domestic universities have experience in organizing joint students’ scientific conferences, academic internships and foreign students’ practices, especially if nowadays students’ publications, indexed in international science-centered bases, are more and more emphasized on, the competitions of scientific students’ projects, grant and framework programs with the participation of young scientists become more and more important. The author made a conclusion that this system is open and interconnected with other social systems. The main purpose of its functioning is the talented young people’ identifying and involving into research activities, ensuring the continuity of higher education scientists generations, creating a university-wide scientific space; increasing of students’ grant and publication activity, preparing them for innovative activity, expanding and developing of professional communications between students at the scientific level, proving the development of students’ self-governance and leadership in the scientific sphere, and the development of international professional cooperation for scientists, teachers, students, practitioners. In author’s opinion, realization of these ideas and other actions will enable the transition of the system of future geography teachers’ professional training to a qualitatively new level.

The article clarifies the essence of the concepts of «сompetence» and «professional competence», determines the components of teacher’s professional competence: motivational (interest and motivation for future professional activity), cognitive (formed knowledge), operational (acquired skills and abilities) and personal-reflexive (ability to self-esteem, self-development and self- improvement). The author, on the basis of comparative analysis, shows the experience of forming the future teacher’s professional competence in leading countries such as: Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, France and others. The article outlines the peculiarities of the formation of the future teacher’s professional competence in determined countries. The interesting aspect in the formation of the future teacher’s professional competence in Germany is its information component, whose high level of evaluation is facilitated by the introduction of modern multimedia technologies in the educational process. The peculiarity of the Danish system of the future teachers’ professional competence formation is the availability of an additional vocational guidance level. So while forming the professional competence of a future teacher in the UK, considerable attention is paid to student’s research activities built on the humanization and democratization of the educational process in this country. The specificity of the future teachers’ professional competence formation in universities of France is that its most important component is the information and communication component. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the positive experience of the future teachers’ professional competence formation abroad is generalized; the recommendations on its introduction into the system of professional training in higher education institutions of Ukraine are worked out. The conclusion is made that the formation of the future teacher’s professional competence abroad will contribute to: the introduction of professional selection of applicants for teaching professions; exploiting the potential of non-formal education; an increase in the duration of teaching practice and the introduction of a mentoring system; inclusion of academic disciplines, that provide inclusive education, into the educational process; providing benefits to active teaching methods based on an interdisciplinary and problem-based approach; creating conditions for the exchange of experience of higher educational institutions with foreign educational institutions.
