Six characteristics of research

12.
Classification of Sciences 
1. 
Natural: biology, chemistry, medicine, geology, physics, etc. 
2. 
Technical and exact: mathematics, computer science, chemical technology, 
etc. 
3. 
Humanitarian: economics, jurisprudence, political science, history, philology, philosophy, etc. 
13. The main tasks of the discipline are to familiarize students with basic terminology, theoretical and 
experimental methods of scientific research as well as methods of analysis of observed results, their practical use, and 
documentation facilities. The tasks of mastering the discipline "Fundamentals of scientific research” are the following: 
- 
to learn professional terminology of scientific research; 
- 
to be able to perform the reference and information retrieval on the topic of research; 
- 
to be able to formulate methodological fundamentals of scientific research on specialty; 
- 
to understand the organization of scientific research;

14. Practical skills in the fundamentals of scientific research enable student’s awareness to scientific results 
and new technologies, understanding novel scientific results, papers, computer manuals, software documentation, and 
additional literature with professional decision-making aims. Prolific knowledge and good practical skills in the 
fundamentals of scientific research allow students to study novel scientific results, make researches, reports, 
summaries, and comments, developing scientific projects and being engaged in the fundamentals of scientific research. 
Therefore, novice researchers need to be acquainted with the basics of research, learn standard methods and 
techniques of conducting scientific work to use acquired knowledge for successful fulfillment of students researches, 
preparation of scientific publications based on independent research during the period of graduate, postgraduate study, 
and preparation a final qualification paper(FQP), and dissertation. 
As a result of mastering the discipline students will have a chance to be acknowledged with the following: a 
basic professional terminology on the disciplines defined by the academic curriculum; categorical materials of 
scientific research; main rules of handling scientific literature; aim and tasks of scientific research; methodology and 
methods of scientific research; classification of methods by the level of investigation, by the state of the organization 
of scientific research; presentation of scientific research results.
