The aim of the modern education system is the development of the learner's personality and the shaping of his or her value consciousness. It cannot be achieved without guiding students towards values that are meaningful to them, without developing their spiritual world, their moral and aesthetic upbringing. Today, one of the main ways of development of intellectual and creative abilities and giftedness of students of higher education institutions is the organization of their research activities, which is also widely reflected in the modern system of education.
