The importance of the research is due to the necessity to examine the organization and implementation of educational and research activities of schoolchildren in the modern humanitarian paradigm of education. The analysis and generalization of the information obtained during the online survey confirm the existence of the problem of insufficient comprehension by teachers and incomplete understanding by students and their parents of the importance to carry out educational and research activities at school. Ignoring educational and developmental tasks of educational and research activities of schoolchildren, "narrow" understanding of a complex integrative result largely distort its essence, lead to formalization. The article is devoted to the problem of preserving and strengthening the humanitarian specifics of the educational and research activities of schoolchildren. The purpose of the study is to identify specific features of the humanitarian approach to the organization and implementation of educational research at school. Some approaches to determining the educational and research activity of schoolchildren and its results are considered based on the review of domestic and foreign psychological and pedagogical sources. The characteristics of the humanitarian approach highlighted in the course of the study, such as the personification of knowledge, contextuality, value orientation, dialogicity and reflexivity of pedagogical interaction, are considered through the prism of the author's pedagogical experience analysis (based on the material of educational research works of Tyumen Presidential Cadet School students). The theoretical significance of the study is in clarifying the purpose of organizing and carrying out educational and research activities at school from the viewpoint of the humanitarian approach – achieving an integrative result, including the development of personal knowledge, learning new ways of activity, forming a system of relations and values, personal development of the student. The practical significance of the article is in the potential of using the results in the further development of methodological recommendations for the organization and implementation of educational and research activities of schoolchildren.
