The Role of Project Research Training Bachelors in the “Education in the Field of Life Safety” Profile

Aim. To determine the role of training of bachelors in the “Education in the Field of Life Safety” profile in project research activities, to reveal its significance within the framework of the activity-based approach, and to propose practical ways of its integration into the educational process for developing the competencies. Methodology. The study applied key methodological approaches: the activity-based approach as the foundation for organizing project-research activity, the systemic approach for analyzing its place in the educational process, the competence-based approach for assessing the formation of professional skills, and the praxiological approach to combine theory with practice. Methods of theoretical analysis of literature, generalization of pedagogical experience, observation of the implementation of student projects, and qualitative analysis of results were used, ensuring the scientific validity of the conclusions. Results. As a result of the research conducted, the set goal of determining the role of project-research activity in the training of bachelors in the “Education in the Field of Life Safety” profile was achieved. The significance of this activity as a component of bachelor training in the “Education in the Field of Life Safety” profile has been theoretically substantiated and revealed. Practical ways of integrating research activity into the educational process have been developed and presented, including the modular principle of structuring disciplines, diverse forms of research activity, and a criteria-based assessment system aimed at developing the professional competencies of future teachers. Research implications. The theoretical significance of the research lies in substantiating the role of project-research student training as a tool for implementing an activity-based approach. The practical significance is determined by the development of recommendations for the implementation of project-based research activities in the educational process. Conclusions. The conducted research confirmed the role of training in project research bachelors in the “Education in the Field of Life Safety” profile. The developed practical integration methods for implementing project-based research activities for students, including a modular approach to organizing academic disciplines and a criteria-based assessment system, ensure the development of professional competencies within an activity-based approach. Implementing project-based research activities in the educational process contributes to the development of teachers capable of creatively solving professional problems and adapting to changing educational conditions.
