Development of research competence in university students through cloud-oriented technologies: a pedagogical experiment

This article explores the content and main directions of scientific and research activities in higher education. It highlights the key types of research work and conceptual tasks undertaken in these institutions. The study clarifies the interconnected elements, components, principles, and priority areas for organizing, developing, and enhancing the effectiveness of students' research activities. It emphasizes the need to integrate creative methods and cloud-oriented technologies into higher education to foster the creative abilities of future professionals. To assess the effectiveness of these approaches, a pedagogical experiment was conducted. The hypothesis posited that a well- organized research process in higher education institutions leads to a high level of research competence in senior undergraduate and graduate students. During the experiment, cloud-based technologies and innovative research methods and forms were implemented in university education.
