Abstract

The article considers the importance of identifying sources of chemical pollution of water in the formation of students' research competence. This direction is described through effective methods implemented during laboratory workshops and excursions. In the context of reforming the higher education system, the main goal is to ensure the formation of future specialists as individuals who can independently organize their professional activities on the basis of mobile education. The authors note that this goal cannot be achieved without systematically developing students' research competence in the educational process. In this regard, the main task of higher education institutions is not only to provide education, but also to develop students' abilities to independently master information, analyze it, process it, and make non-standard decisions. The article comprehensively describes the structural components of research competence - motivational, communicative, reflective, and personal aspects. In addition, the results of experimental work aimed at developing students' research competence based on identifying sources of chemical pollution of water are presented. During the study, three main types of water pollution - biological, chemical, and physical pollution - were described and their main sources were identified. The students' skills in collecting information, conducting observations, analyzing research results, making scientific forecasts, summarizing results, and offering practical solutions were also evaluated.
