"DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH SKILLS IN STUDENTS DURING AGE PSYCHOLOGY LESSONS."

Abstract

Modern education is aimed at the development of a student's personality capable of independent cognitive activity, critical thinking, and a creative approach to problem-solving. In this context, special attention is given to research skills, which are a combination of knowledge, skills, and methods of activity.
Research skills and abilities necessary for the successful study of developmental psychology are especially important in the context of studying the psychological development of a person at different stages of their life, age periods, age crises, and developmental factors.
Incorporating research activities into the process of independent student work with the instructor contributes to the formation of a deep understanding of the subject, the ability to study various sources, analyze, and summarize information from different sources. Students can share their results at conferences and publications, becoming part of the scientific community.
Thus, independent student work with the instructor in developmental psychology, oriented toward a research approach, not only contributes to deepening knowledge in the field of psychology but also to the development of scientific skills that can be useful in their future professional and educational activities.
