Abstract

The article presents the theoretical foundations and empirical results of a study aimed at developing scientific competence among lower secondary school students. The importance of updating learning tools in the context of education digitalization is substantiated, emphasizing the integration of traditional and modern tools to ensure the comprehensive development of students’ knowledge, skills, and motivation. A comparative analysis was conducted on the effectiveness of traditional tools (printed textbooks, model-based laboratory work) and modern digital tools (AR/VR, mobile applications, video lessons, simulations, gamified platforms) based on six components of scientific competence: theoretical knowledge, conceptual visualization, research skills, digital literacy, motivation, and autonomy. The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods such as pedagogical experiments, surveys, testing, observations, and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate a significant advantage of digital tools in fostering research skills, promoting critical thinking, and increasing student engagement, while traditional tools remain effective for structuring and consolidating core knowledge. The experiment confirmed that the most effective educational outcomes are achieved through the integrated use of both digital and traditional tools. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systematization of learning tools according to competence components and in correlating empirical results with the theoretical foundations of Robert Gagné, Richard Mayer, John Seely Brown, and Paul Duguid on the cognitive and social nature of learning. Future research directions include an in-depth analysis of the impact of specific digital technologies on the development of scientific competences, adaptation of tools to blended and distance learning environments, as well as the development of innovative STEM methodologies incorporating inclusivity and interdisciplinarity.
