The problem of  forming high-school students’  design and research  competence can be successfully solved with the help of the realization of pedagogical model based on the systematic, person- orientated  and competence - active  approach. 

The aim of the research is to theoretically justify and experimentally  examine  the model of formation  of high-school students’ design and research competence.  The importance of the research is that during it the set of scientific approaches (systematic, person- orientated  and competence - active  ones) as the methodological basis for projecting the model were justified and the complex of pedagogical conditions served as the guide for the further research of the problem of  high-school students’  design and research  competence formation. The methods of the analysis of pedagogical, methodological literature, theoretical modeling, as well as empiric methods of research served as the basis of the methodology of the research in the process of model approbation.   The value of  the given research is that the practice-oriented model of forming design and research competence of high school students represents the multilevel dynamic system consisting of mutually conditioned components (objective, methodological, meaningful, technological and diagnostic-effective ones) and can be included into the practice of other educational institutions.
