Forms of the organization of educational research work in high school
In the basis of any activity there is an interest. The cognitive interest of students is an interest in learning activities, in the acquisition of knowledge, in scientific achievements in a particular field of science. The emergence of cognitive interest is determined by many variables, including age of a child, level of development, his knowledge in certain areas of biological sciences, the presence or absence of practical skills in setting up and performing experimental work on biology and related sciences. The defining role in the formation of interest is played by the process of acquiring knowledge and its presentation by teacher. Subsequently, the cognitive interest acts as a factor determining the success of training. One of the mechanisms forming an interest in the very process of acquiring knowledge is the organization and implementation of research work at school. The paper presents a program of the organization of research work at school, ranked by occupation, taking into account the age of students. The structure of the program corresponds to the age and intellectual characteristics of the development of students and at the same time is able to stimulate search activity. Therefore, in the lower grades activity control should be carried out mainly in a playful way, enabling the child to fulfill his need for motor activity. The most acceptable form of organizing educational and research activities with children of these age groups are various competitions, quizzes, tasks on a given topic, etc. To carry out research work in high school it is possible to use the scientific bases of the city; one of the possible ways is to conclude cooperation agreements between the school and higher educational institutions. An example is the cooperation agreement concluded between North Ossetian State University, the Intellect Center for the Development of Gifted Children and Youth (Municipal Institution for Further Education of Children, Vladikavkaz), secondary school No. 33.
