Monitoring of research competences students as a component of overcoming educational losses

The article substantiates the relevance of monitoring the educational losses of students of general secondary education institutions to find ways to improve the quality of students' knowledge. Based on the analysis of current regulatory documents, the components of students' research competencies, which are consistent with their key competencies, were selected. The peculiarities of diagnosing educational losses of students based on test tasks developed by the MriyDiy Educational Foundation as part of a project by the United Nations Children's Fund are considered. Based on the online panel discussion of the participants of the educational process, suggestions on ways to increase the level of development of research competencies of schoolchildren were analyzed. According to the results of the online discussion with teachers, it was established that among the directions of overcoming educational losses, the administration of educational institutions determines the renewal of the material and technical base: the use of modern electronic boards, digital equipment, and STEM laboratories. Among the directions of overcoming educational losses identified by teachers, the following are highlighted: the creation of individual study plans, which are determined by different learning rates and the peculiarities of information perception; and differentiating tasks so that everyone can work at their own pace and succeed. In general, students' parents consider their children's work on homework to be effective; stimulating the child's reading and cognitive activity; and strengthening communication between the school and the family by holding regular parent meetings, where issues of education, upbringing, and development of children are discussed. It is noted that the following ways of overcoming educational losses are effective for students: an individual approach to learning by adapting to their pace and learning styles; strengthening the practical component of education through work on projects that allow them to combine knowledge from various subjects, conducting experiments and engaging in research.
