Scientific research activity is an essential component of the professional activities of a higher education pedagogue. 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.

Transformational processes in the modern society, the market approach to training of specialists, increasing of competition in the field of employment determine the relevance of the development of professional mobility of the individual. In general, professional mobility characterizes the readiness and ability of the specialist to socio-psychological and functional-status changes, innovative transformations of themselves and the environment. Obviously, the development of this quality is one of the most important tasks of the vocational school. The most intensive formation of professional mobility is facilitated by various factors, one of which is scientific research activity. The purpose of the article is to characterize the phenomenon of scientific research activity of a modern specialist as a factor of the formation of his professional mobility. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature (to clarify the key concepts of the study), systematization (in order to identify existing scientific approaches to solving this problem), theoretical generalization (to formulate the final provisions and conclusions). The phenomenon of scientific research activity is considered on the example of the specialty «Social work». Scientific research activity is an integral component of social work, which is formed through the separation of the scientific research subsystem in its system. This interpretation of scientific research activity allows us to identify its most important features: it is an empirical scientific research activity; it is purposeful and characterized by the relationship of certain elements, procedures and methods; it is built within the framework of logical and constructive schemes, methods and means of cognition inherent in research activities; it is performed in accordance with the research algorithm; relies on the facts that require empirical verification; the result is new knowledge about the objects of social activity; is a methodological regulation that sets the logical direction of choice of methods and means of activity. In the process of scientific research activity there is the development of professional, systematic, logical, reflective, creative and innovative thinking, the ability to predict the results of work depending on the conditions of activity.

The formation of scientific research activity abilities in comprehensive school is undoubtedly, a very important sphere still awaiting of particular attention. Current teaching and learning process has basically changed looking from the paradigmatic point of view. Teaching subjects become the means of realization of learners’ demands and interests. Scientific research activity is not an entertainment, but a very responsible, thorough work requiring great self-independence. During this activity children’s analytic thinking becomes stronger, information search and usage abilities are being developed, they can learn to analyze the accumulated material, make presentations, prepare research reports and so on. By doing scientific research, learners approach new knowledge and new methods to solve problems of daily life. The main question is how to combine scientific research and science education. First of all we should elaborate specific policies how to encourage our learners to do scientific research. According to E.Šapokienė (1994), exploration is „a form of the organization of the educational process, when pupils become familiar with the basic methods of research, learn easily comprehensible elements of research methodology, obtain knowledge and skills to individually investigate phenomena of natural and environmental life“. This is also very important from political point of view. After qualitative analysis of the scientific information sources it is possible to separate some categories of importance of the scientific research activity of learners, for example, careers counselling, development of cognitive abilities and skills, formation of values system, development of intelligence, creativity etc. Scientific research activity in comprehensive school is undoubtedly a meaningful, integral sphere, however, for developing such kind of activity in Lithuanian comprehensive schools not an adequate attention was paid up to now. Insufficient attention devoted to scientific research activities is one of the reasons why the classes of ‘Science’ are not popular among students in different countries. We can safely assert that especially in primary school practically not an appropriate attention is paid to formation of scientific-research abilities. It is obvious, that modern teaching process is not favorable orientating pupils for scientist (researcher) career. In the given article the basic documents regulating education in Lithuania are analysed. The conclusion is drawn that the attention to scientific research activity of students is given ever less attention. Key words: scientific research activity, career, comprehensive school, science education.

The problem of developing the scientific potential of higher education, by improving the organization of research activities of students in universities in Russia and Kazakhstan, does not lose its relevance. The content of pedagogical activity includes the conduct of scientific research in various areas, which is considered not just as a teacher’s right, but above all, as his professional duty. For students of biological specialties of pedagogical universities, one of the basic disciplines, in the learning process of which it is possible to introduce students to research activities from the first year, is zoology. In the conditions of steppes and semi-deserts of Kazakhstan, where small mammals and related ecto-and endoparasitic animals dominate, zoological research in the field of parasitology is of particular relevance. Until recently, the development of parasitology in Kazakhstan was given great importance. Today, for a number of reasons, the spectrum of research in this direction has significantly decreased, which may adversely affect sanitary welfare and public health, livestock productivity, and rational nature management. An analysis of psychological and pedagogical works allows us to conclude that the interest in students’ research activities as a subject of study is increasing. The authors rethink its forms and directions. However, studies on the formation of research activities of students by means of parasitology and other zoological disciplines have not been conducted. The article notes that research activities are technological. Therefore, the set goals should be organized in the form of a taxonomy and focused on the result. The stages and connections between educational and research activities of students in the field of parasitology are revealed, its directions, forms of organization, and criteria for the formation of research activities are substantiated.

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.
