Stepanova I.P., Atavina O.V., Mugak V.V. STUDENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES WITHIN A YOUTH RESEARCH CLUB IN THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT OF A MEDICAL UNIVERSITYAt universities, a traditional form of unscheduled research is the youth research club. Considerable attention has been devoted to the organization of youth research clubs, defining the objectives, principles, and stages of developing research skills. However, studies conducted in this area rarely discuss specific models for organizing research clubs, the content and format of their meetings, and the topics of research. Student engagement in research remains a challenge. Our study was conducted to identify successful examples of organizing a youth research club to stimulate student engagement in research. The key components for improving the organization of a research club are the analysis of its plans and reports, as well as student opinions. The research club in the Chemistry Department of Omsk State Medical University operates according to a model that includes goal-setting and planning, process and monitoring, performance and reflection, and feedback. The club is supervised by mentor teachers and senior students. The youth scientific club's goals are broad and include a civic and patriotic focus. Club meetings focus not only on scientific methodology but also on the validation of results. A study of student perceptions and attitudes toward scientific work revealed that
