The development of the modern Russian education system, due to the introduction of new educational standards, entails the need to develop high-quality methodological support. The system-activity oriented approach lies in the methodological basis of the FSES for professional education and determines the results of training and education, namely, the development of communicative, cognitive, personal and social aspects. The widespread informatization of society determines the change of values and brings the concept of "self-education" to the fore. Society needs specialists who feel themselves confident in the information environment, who are able to clearly formulate and determine the goals and objectives of professional activity, and plan the stages of their implementation. These skills must be developed by future teachers as well, because employers want to get an employee who is ready and capable of independent research. Thus, the development of research skills of students and the effective organization of research activities become a priority in the Federal State Educational Standard. In this regard, the need is growing to find effective means of developing the research skills of students in institutions of secondary professional education. The aim of our study was to search for effective ICT tools for the development of research skills of teachers’ training college students. To determine the teaching tools, an analysis of foreign and domestic sources was made. In the study, “research skills” are understood as the ability for actions necessary to carry out research work. The results of the study show that ICT tools can be effectively used to develop students' research skills in the process of subject-subject interaction. The theoretical significance of the article lies in determining the component structure of research skills, revealing the position and role of interaction subjects in the educational process, determining aspects of the educational process organization, identifying the characteristics of the research skills development stages based on the definition in question. The practical significance of the article lies in the presentation of the scientific foundations and experience in the implementation of ICT tools in the research process as part of a learner-centered approach and the study of the development of research skills of teachers’ training college students using ICT tools while learning the subject "Computer science and ICT in professional activities".
