Abstract

The article clarifies the essence of the key concept of the study, namely “research skills,” within the linguodidactic context as an important component of language education. These skills ensure not only the acquisition of linguistic knowledge but also the development of students’ cognitive activity, independent information retrieval, critical thinking, and the creative use of language means in various educational and real-life situations. It is established that research skills constitute an essential component of both subject-specific and key competencies of learners. The structure of students’ research skills is characterized through the following components: motivational, cognitive, operational-activity, and reflective. The motivational component presupposes students’ cognitive interest in the ukrainian language, awareness of its significance, and an internal need to explore linguistic and speech phenomena. The cognitive component encompasses knowledge of linguistic and speech phenomena and the patterns of their functioning, which form the basis for conducting educational research. The operational-activity component involves students’ ability to observe, analyze, synthesize, generalize, and systematize information necessary for research activity. The reflective component ensures learners’ ability to evaluate research outcomes, identify mistakes, and determine ways to overcome them. It is determined that the development of research skills within a competence-based approach is implemented comprehensively through problem-based learning, work with linguistic material and reference sources, project-based activities, and reflection, thereby ensuring the conscious application of knowledge by students. In grades 7–9, this process is realized through the systematic involvement of students in working with texts, linguistic phenomena, and reference materials, as well as through problem-solving and creative tasks. An important role is played by exercises aimed at the analysis, transformation, modeling, and interpretation of linguistic material.
