Аннотация
This study focuses on analyzing the group-based organization of educational activities and its role in developing
students’ research skills. In the context of modern education, where the emphasis is on competency development, the
ability to work collaboratively is a key aspect of the educational process. Within research activities, students become
active participants, formulating objectives, selecting methods, and evaluating results. This process helps to reduce
anxiety and increase self-confidence, as the responsibility for the final outcome is shared among all group members.
Furthermore, the teacher, acting as a mentor, provides essential support, assisting students in building confidence and
coordinating their actions. The study also examines the stages of project-based activities, including defining objectives, selecting topics, distributing responsibilities, implementing the project, and reflecting on the process.
Keywords: group work, research skills, project-based activities, competencies, students, education.
