Involvement of Pedagogical Students in Research Activities: Assessment of the Effectiveness Level

At present special attention is paid to research activities in the education of university students. When selecting specific activities to involve students in research activities, many factors should be considered. The main two factors are: the level of organization of research activities in the university and the level of student involvement in research activities. The article proposes an original model for assessing the effectiveness of the system of forms aimed at the involvement of students in research activities. The model is based on the analysis of the forms implemented in Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after I.N. Ulyanov. The authors’ model, unlike the well-known ones, allows to analyze the level of organization of research activities in the university and the level of students’ involvement in research activities.
