Considering the issue of research experience of senior high school students

The state of research experience of school students of the 10-11th forms is considered. The analysis of data, obtained as the result of the questionnaire of students, allowed to define the level of development of components of research experience and to reveal the basic difficulties that the senior high school students face: the gap between the theoretical knowledge and their practical application, the fragmentation of methodological ideas, the lack of self-organization skills and the situational nature of reflection.
