Student research culture

the article reveals the main aspects of the formation of a research culture in higher education institutions. The importance is shown and the key competencies that can be developed in students with a well-formed research culture are identified. The purpose of the work is to analyze the current state of research culture among students and develop recommendations for its improvement. To achieve this goal, a survey of students was conducted. As a result of the research, key factors contributing to the development of a research culture were identified. One of them is the educational environment, which should be inclusive, supportive, flexible, and innovative. In such an environment, students should have access to modern educational technologies, diverse learning resources, and opportunities for practical application of knowledge. Students' motivation also plays an important role in shaping a research culture, as it directly influences their willingness to take an active part in research activities and strive for high academic standards. Mentoring from experienced teachers and researchers was also noted as an important factor that helps students master the knowledge and skills necessary for further education and their subsequent use in their professional careers. The authors conclude that the formation of a research culture among students is an important task that requires an integrated approach and the active participation of all stakeholders – from educational institutions to the students themselves.
