Sysoeva M.S. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES OF SCHOOLCHILDREN AS A PROBLEM OF EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE MODERN WORLDIn today’s world of instability and rapid change, education faces the need to transform itself to prepare individuals who are able to adapt to instability and uncertainty. I focus on students’ research activities as a key tool for developing antifragility — the ability not only to cope with challenges, but also to thrive in them. Research work integrates fundamental knowledge with real-world problem-solving skills, develops creativity, critical thinking, and metacognitive abilities. The study highlights the importance of moving from linear educational models to adaptive approaches that meet the challenges of the VUCA (uncertainty, complexity), BANI (fragility, anxiety), and SHIVA (destruction and renewal) paradigms. Fundamental education, based on a research approach, becomes not only a basis for acquiring knowledge, but also a platform for developing values, personal beliefs, and a willingness to make life-changing decisions. Teachers play a special role in the process of transforming education. They create conditions for the internal motivation of schoolchildren, provide emotional support and guide them on the path of independent knowledge. Research activities integrated into school programs through project-based learning and cooperation with universities serve as a link between traditional education and the skills of the future. This is especially evident in solving current social and scientific problems, which contributes not only to the development of students, but also to the transformation of their worldview. I came to the conclusion that the key element of education in the 21st century is the ability of schools to form individuals with antifragility, creativity and scientific thinking. Only value-based and research-oriented education can ensure sustainable progress in a chaotic global space. The formation of ethically mature, proactive and adaptive citizens is a priority that requires the combined efforts of teachers, scientists and society. In this context, research activities become the basis of transformative education and the foundation for positive changes in society.Key words: research activities of schoolchildren, antifragility, VUCA paradigm, BANI paradigm, SHIVA paradigm, fundamental education, creativity, adaptability, transformation of education, value thinking.
