FORMATION OF COMPETENCIES OF YOUNG RESEARCHERS TO WORK WITH FOREIGN DATABASES // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2022. Issue 2 (220). P. 86-95

Introduction. The Russian scientific community is faced with the task of integrating domestic research into the global publication space. Today in Russia the culture of using foreign databases is at the stage of formation, while abroad it is at a fairly high level. With the expansion of the globalization of socio-economic processes, possession of over-professional skills in working with the Web of Science and Scopus databases becomes a necessary condition for Russian science to enter the world scientific space. Therefore, an integral part of the system of measures aimed at improving the indicators of Russian science in international citation indices should be training activities for working with foreign information resources. One of the important educational problems is the lack of training of young researchers to work with foreign databases. Consequently, in the context of globalization and digitalization, specially organized educational support for young researchers in working with foreign information resources is needed. The support of researchers should be aimed at the formation of over-professional skills in working with Web of Science, Scopus and their analytical tools, the formation of “scientometric literacy”. The aim is to substantiate the effectiveness of the model of organizational and methodological support for the entry of young researchers into the global publication space. Material and methods. Theoretical – abstraction, analysis, specification, generalization; empirical – included observation, questionnaire, survey, reflective interview, experiment, focus group. Results and discussion. The structure of competencies of young researchers for working with foreign databases Scopus, Web of Science and the analytical tool SciVal has been developed, including motivational, cognitive, behavioral and reflective-evaluative components. A model of organizational and methodological support for the entry of young researchers into the global publication space was created to form these competencies. The proposed model of support was tested in Tomsk Polytechnic University. Conclusion. The diagnostic results showed that the model of organizational and methodological support for the entry of young researchers into the global publication space contributes to the formation of over-professional skills of working with foreign databases and their analytical tools, the formation of “scientometric literacy” of students, graduate students and young scientists.

PROJECT METHOD IN TRAINING FUTURE ENGINEERS IN RESEARCH SKILLS WITH INTERNATIONAL DATABASES // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2022. Issue 5 (223). P. 95-106

Introduction. At present, competition between countries is in the field of technology, and one who has the ability to quickly acquire knowledge and translate it into technology will be able to provide leadership to his country. The share of Russian high technologies in the world market is very small, about one percent. Therefore, the training of next generation engineers needs to be transformed as a priority. Science is the foundation of engineering education. An engineer of the 21st century is an “innovative engineer”, a developer who must have research skills, the ability to obtain and apply scientific information in professional activities. Searching scientometric databases with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness is an important skill for a modern engineer. International databases allow you to get up-to-date scientific knowledge, keep abreast of trends in engineering activities, new ideas, contributing to the creation of unique technologies. Systematic work with Scopus and Web of Science is one of the opportunities for Lifelong learning, development of the general and professional potential of the individual. But numerous surveys show that there are gaps in training future engineers to work with Web of Science and Scopus databases. The aim is to substantiate the effectiveness of project-based learning for the formation of research skills in working with international Scopus and WoS databases among future engineers. Material and methods. Theoretical methods were used in the work – abstraction, analysis, concretization, generalization; empirical methods – participant observation, reflective interview, experiment, study of the products of educational activity. The analysis of scientific research devoted to the ideas of philosophical, pedagogical and psychological science, which determine the effectiveness of project-based learning for the formation of research skills for working with international databases in future engineers, has been carried out. The methodological basis of the study was an activity-based, person-oriented approach, a theoretical analysis of scientific literature, and a generalization of the results of the study. Results and discussion. The results of approbation of project training for future engineers of Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics for the formation of research skills in working with international databases within the framework of the discipline “Fundamentals of project activities” are presented. Conclusion. The project method for training future engineers contributes to the formation of research skills in working with international databases.
