Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to identify the research competency required and appropriate for the second elementary period. In this research, the competencies were identified in five steps using the design approach or the creation of a base model (Bayam and Meyer's model). In the first step, 105 research competencies were extracted from the views of 24 prominent scholars and scholars. In the second step, 49 research competencies were obtained in semi-structured interviews with 14 expert and expert teachers. In the third step, Delphi technique was used to distinguish and categorize 154 research competencies. As a result of surveys conducted by 10 health and psychologists, 18 research competencies were identified in the second elementary school. Then for each competency, three levels of definition and functional attributes of each level were identified and experts determined the level corresponding to the second elementary level. In the fourth stage, the research competencies identified by six Kuwaiti Kappa coefficients of education and psychology were validated and in the final stage, the structural framework of the research competencies required and commensurate with the second elementary school was drawn up. These competencies, according to their nature, are divided into three categories, including technical and technical competencies (writing research questions, designing research, collecting information, analyzing data, summarizing and concluding, arranging and presenting reports, evaluating research), competence Personal and personality (curiosity, interest and motivation, effort and perseverance, success and failure, self-efficacy, communication and collaboration) and perceptual competence (decision-making, reasoning, prediction, comparison, thinking).
