СТУДЕНТТЕРДІҢ ЗЕРТТЕУШІЛІК ҚҰЗЫРЕТТІЛІГІН ҚАЛЫПТАСТЫРУДА ЛЭПБУК ТЕХНОЛОГИЯСЫНЫҢ МАҢЫЗЫ

The article discusses the issue of developing students’ research competence. Research competence is considered an important pedagogical characteristic aimed at developing students’ abilities to conduct scientific inquiry, organize experiments, analyze obtained results, and draw conclusions. In the modern education system, increasing students’ cognitive activity and developing their research skills are among the most актуal tasks. In this context, lapbook technology is considered as one of the modern tools for the effective organization of the educational process. The study was conducted during the 2024–2025 academic year with second-year chemistry students of Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University (n = 11). The purpose of the study is to determine the potential of lapbook technology in the learning process and to identify its significance in developing students’ cognitive activity, practical skills, and research abilities. In the experimental part, the laboratory work “Determination of the Refractive Index of Solutions by the Refractometry Method” was carried out using lapbook elements. The results showed that this method helps connect theoretical knowledge with practice and increases students’ interest in research activities.
