Abstract
Currently, universities consider the importance of training well-educated, highly qualified specialists, improving the level of knowledge, developing innovative methods integrated with knowledge of scientific and pedagogical direction, and introducing young people to creativity. Among them, the only system used as a method of teaching search and research skills in educational programs is the heuristic method. The methodology of forming the student's search and research skills using such actions as observation, experimentation, obtaining results, and summing up was developed by microclonal reproduction of the genus Tulipa. In the research work, positive results were achieved in the creative development of the student, performing laboratory, and independent work, together with the teacher. The level of students’ cognitive activity was assessed through an analysis of indicators from control and experimental groups before and after the intervention. Based on a comparative assessment of cognitive activity formation, it was found that, following the study, the number of students in the experimental group who fully mastered the course content and demonstrated a high level of understanding had significantly increased.
