Abstract

Modern transformational processes driven by the rapid development of advanced technologies increase the demands on the quality of human capital, a crucial component of which is research activity. The higher education system faces the challenge not only of knowledge transmission but also of developing key research skills and abilities in students. Informational heuristics, which optimise the processes of searching, processing, and interpreting scientific information, act as a tool for enhancing the effectiveness of student research. Its application is essential to meeting the current demands of the global educational environment. The aim of this article was to present the content of the informational heuristic mechanism in its various manifestations as a guarantee for ensuring success in the formation of research skills among students of pedagogical higher education institutions (HEIs), using the example of teaching the educational component “Fundamentals of Scientific Research and Academic Writing”. The research employed the methods of analysis and synthesis, which made it possible to generalise knowledge on the issue: by analysing the types and forms of student research activities in pedagogical HEIs in the specialty 015 “Professional Education (by Specialisations)”, the compliance of such activities with legislative norms was established; by examining the process of acquiring research skills by students of pedagogical education in accordance with legal norms through the use of informational heuristic methods, their most significant application in the teaching of the educational component “Fundamentals of Scientific Research and Academic Writing” was identified; by analysing the peculiarities of productive formation of research skills in the educational process, the role of library heuristics in this process and in the development of text analysis skills was highlighted. The results of the study can be implemented in the educational process to optimise the teaching of courses on the fundamentals of scientific research, as well as to improve the effectiveness of academic writing instruction
