System characteristic of tasks for the research activity of master's student in pedagogy

The paper contains the system representation of tasks for the research activities of a Master's student in Pedagogy aimed at developing competencies of research activity. The system of tasks is built on the basis of the models of competences of research activity for Master of Pedagogy. The system analysis of research activities of Master's student was made. The types of research activities and tasks to develop them were defined. On the basis of the structural analysis the order of tasks was described. The functional analysis enabled to reveal the functions of the system of tasks ensuring the development of graduate competencies in research activities and providing the necessary skills for conducting an individual research in pedagogy. Genetic analysis helped to increase the level of graduate competencies in research by gradually changing the level of task difficulty. The system of tasks was developed and tested in the educational process by the method of expert estimates. The system properties of the tasks were identified: integrity, continuity, intersubject nature, collective pedagogical support tasks, effectiveness and practical professional significance. The structure of the research activity results for Master student in Pedagogy is given.
