The article presents the experience and results of the interfaculty research laboratory "Health saving in the context of digitalization of education". The steady interest of students in certain forms of work, as well as specific difficulties in conducting scientific research, has been revealed. In order to overcome the difficulties of students in the systematization, analysis and description of scientific data, the authors of the article conclude with methodological recommendations that contribute to improving the effectiveness of the organization of research activities of students.

The article examines the possibilities of using digital laboratories in the implementation of students' research activities. All this is aimed at preparing for the experimental tour of the Olympic Games in physics. The existing problems and the possibilities of their solution are described.

The article discusses the essence of research skills of primary school students in teaching mathematics, the components and directions of formation. Pedagogical methods are also presented, with the help of which research skills are formed. The inclusion of research methods in the educational process allows students not only to master subject competencies, but also to develop the ability to think analytically and independently search for solutions.

The article examines the age-specific characteristics of primary school children as a key resource for developing their research activity. It provides theoretical justification that psychological characteristics of primary school age, such as cognitive activity, the predominance of visual-figurative thinking, and the development of voluntary regulation, internal plan of action, and reflection, create a favorable foundation for engaging children in research activities within the educational process in primary school. Drawing on L.S. Vygotsky's cultural-historical approach and the theory of learning activity by D.B. Elkonin and V.V. Davydov, the article demonstrates that research activity not only aligns with the mental development of primary school children but also serves as an effective means for developing their cognitive abilities and personal qualities. Practical approaches for utilizing the age-specific characteristics of primary school children in primary general education are proposed, including examples of tasks aimed at developing research skills and a tiered approach to their organization. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for primary school teachers to transition from the traditional role of knowledge transmitters to that of organizers of research activity.
