This scientific research work addresses the issues of research, research activities, and the development of research skills in students. Research is defined as a process aimed at acquiring new knowledge, helping to understand cognitive patterns and phenomena. Research activities represent a special form of educational work that ensures the implementation of creative and research tasks by students to achieve previously unknown results.
