The organization of research activities in the military University actualized the need to identify pedagogical conditions that would contribute to the development and self-development of cadets. One of these conditions, in our opinion, is the creation of an educational research environment at the University. Creative research environment should be focused on the development of initiative and independence of each cadet involved in research and experimental activities. The purpose of this study is to theoretically substantiate the need to create an educational research creative environment, in the conditions of which the cadets of the military University acquire research skills, master research methods of learning educational and cognitive information, communication skills, business relations, methodological culture. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of interrelated methodological approaches: personality-oriented approach, the essence of which is determined by the philosophy of individual choice of a person's professional path; axiological approach as a necessary condition for the development and self-development of a person; individual-creative approach, allowing each cadet to realize himself as a developing, creative person; activity approach, creating conditions in which the active research and cognitive activity of cadets is a means of their development. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that the authors analyzed and summarized the main theoretical approaches to the creation of the educational environment in educational organizations, including military universities, in the process of organizing research activities of cadets. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the authors propose the algorithm of modeling and designing the research environment of the military University, where the research activity of cadets is organized and carried out. The work may be useful for academic staff of military educational organizations, teachers-researchers dealing with the problem of identifying the pedagogical conditions for the organization of research activities of students, one of which is the creation of an educational research environment in a military University, contributing to the development and self-development of cadets’ personality.
