Abstract

This work is an attempt to generalize the theory and practice of the formation of metacompetencies of university students interpreted as the basis that remains in the sub subject position and determines the effectiveness of further self-realization of a university graduate in a certain professional field of activity. The necessity to analyze the theoretical and practical aspects of this activity has affected the purpose of the study. The authors use the systematic method as the main one. To understand and clarify the essence and prerequisites for the formation of metacompetencies of university students in the process of research work in foreign language at the present stage, the authors use general logical research methods and techniques. The current paper identifies and justifies the common and distinctive features and peculiarities of the content and organization of research work in foreign language applying the principles of structural-functional analysis. The results of a pedagogical experiment conducted at the Siberian Transport University aimed at studying the influence of research work in a foreign language on the formation of students’ metacompetencies are presented. A model of organization of students’ research work has been proposed, which includes the levels of perception, analysis and synthesis of scientific information. The study reveals the content of each of the levels of organization of students’ research work. The authors pay special attention to the formation of academic writing skills that are necessary for increasing of the publication activity of various groups of researches who take into account international rules and norms, as well as the skills of public scientific presentation in a foreign language, allowing to present the results of the study at the international level. The authors conclude that modeling the process of students’ research work has allowed to systematize and generalize the requirements for its organization, taking in consideration relevant international requirements for the content of report, the design of scientific articles in a foreign language, the specific features of peer-reviewed papers, the ranking of scientific journals, and indicators of the publication activity of students and organizations.
