The article deals with the actual problem of teaching disciplines, including issues of methodology and organization of scientific research for graduate students in the higher education system. Special attention is paid to the analysis of modern educational approaches, which are aimed not only at the formation of purely scientific competences, but also at the spiritual and intellectual development of young scientists. The training of graduate students in these disciplines includes not only the mastering of methodological principles, but also promotes the development of such personal qualities as critical thinking, moral responsibility, commitment to scientific integrity, and internal motivation for scientific activity. The article examines various learning methods that can contribute to the active involvement of graduate students in the process of self-discovery and self-development, including interactive learning methods, project activities, research tasks, and debates. Such methods give graduate students the opportunity to develop the skills of independent decision-making, search for innovative solutions and teamwork, which is extremely important for successful professional activity in the modern scientific environment. In addition, the article examines how educational practices contribute to the integration of moral and spiritual values ​​into the scientific activity of graduate students, in particular through the formation of a holistic worldview that includes humanistic principles, the ethics of science, and responsibility to society. The role of the teacher in the process of professional training of graduate students is considered, in particular, his influence on the personal and spiritual growth of students through constant feedback, providing an example of scientific integrity, supporting and creating a positive learning environment. It is emphasized that the interaction of teachers and graduate students is important to create a learning environment that stimulates graduate students to grow internally and achieve high standards in research activities. The systematic approach used in the study made it possible to present the process of teaching the methodology of scientific research as a dynamic, integrated system. This approach makes it possible to identify the key factors of successful professional training, to establish connections between the components of the educational process, and to create a model that meets the needs of the modern scientific and educational environment. In particular, it is emphasized that the successful training of graduate students is aimed not only at the development of their professional competences, but also at the formation of high spiritual qualities, the ability for deep analysis and awareness of the role of science in society. The article is aimed at theoretical justification and practical recommendations for teaching methodology and organization of scientific research, taking into account the spiritual and intellectual development of graduate students as part of their comprehensive preparation for the role of researchers. The presented approaches can be useful for teachers who seek to increase the effectiveness of the educational process, make it more inclusive and aimed at educating the moral and professional qualities of future scientists.
