The role of a systems approach in organizing schoolchildren's research activities

The subject of the research is the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren based on a systematic approach. The object of the study is a systematic approach. The article examines the scientific and research activities of schoolchildren as an integrated, interconnected and managed system aimed at achieving their goals. The concept of a system and a systematic approach is clarified, and an analytical review of the terms under consideration is presented. The system features have been identified. The principles of the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren are revealed. The conditions of the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren are analyzed: informational, methodological, pedagogical, methodological, psychological, financial. The stages of scientific research activity of schoolchildren are considered. The role of the teacher in the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren is determined. The types of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren are studied: problem-abstract, analytical-systematizing, diagnostic-prognostic, inventive-rationalizing, experimental-research. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature on the problem of applying a systematic approach in the scientific research activities of schoolchildren. The forms, conditions and stages of scientific research activity are systematized. The skills and abilities formed during the organization of scientific research activities of schoolchildren based on a systematic approach are modeled. The pedagogical experience in the practice of organizing research activities in schools is summarized. The main conclusion of the study is that research activities in schools require a systematic approach, as it ensures the integrity of the educational process, and the interconnection of all elements of the system gives a positive result. A systematic approach is used to gradually develop students' research competencies through interrelated forms of work (from lessons to conferences), interdisciplinary integration of knowledge, continuity between different levels of education (school-university), and individualization of students' scientific trajectories. The implementation of a systematic approach in the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren contributes to the purposeful formation of their scientific thinking and research culture. The scientific novelty lies in the systematization and structuring of the components of scientific research activities of schoolchildren within the framework of a single model based on a systematic approach. In this article, an integrated system is proposed, including: principles, conditions, forms and stages of the organization of scientific and research activities of schoolchildren. The model proposed in the article can be directly used in educational institutions to build an effective system of research work with students.
