System of young scholars education at Faculty of Economics in Tomsk State University

Scientificachievements and effectiveness of scientific research work depend on a series of factors and, first of all, on teaching the basis ofmethodology and methods of scientific investigation to young scientists from the very beginning of their professional activity. Scientificmethodology is based not only on general methods but on regarding all the peculiarities of a definite branch of science, Economics inour case. The mechanism of teaching includes a system of cognitive methods and reality reorganization, typical structure of economicresearch, elements of scientific contribution. The results obtained are based on the experience, which has been accumulated by theauthor in the course of delivering lectures on the principles of scientific research. The system of scientific contribution elementsoccupies, indeed, the central place in scientific research. Hence, it is necessary to fulfill their arrangement while distinguishing thefollowing characteristics: PESC - possible elements of scientific contribution; DESC - determined elements of scientific contribution,i.e., those worked out by science and unable to represent scientific originality of the research; UESC - undetermined, undevelopedelements of scientific contribution, a part of which is able to represent scientific originality of the research, i.e., personal elements ofscientific contribution; PESC - personal elements of scientific contribution, which are supposed to be determined and developed by theauthor. Thus, PESC = DESC+ UESC, including PESC. It is necessary to distinguish the degree and the character of originality in theprocess of characterizing the elements of scientific contribution. The degree of contribution in results of research answers the question ifthis ESC is a new idea (solution) or it is the development of a well-known idea (solution). New ideas and solutions in theory andpractice are those, which have not been known to science before, they cannot be found in the papers published, in departmentaldocuments, in reports of institutes and organizations, in materials of conferences, in practice of management. They are divided intoresults, analyses, proposals, which are made for the first time - those having no other variants of solution; results, analyses, proposals,which are original (in comparison with well-known ones) - they mean that other results exist in theory and practice, but the author of thework gives a better solution to the task according to his/her opinion. The development of well-known ideas and solutions signifies thefollowing: 1. Additional foundation of this or that disputable idea (solution) truthfulness with the help of personal original methods ofinvestigation, calculation, generalization with materials of practice, logical argumentation. 2. Deepening, specification and improvementof well-known ideas (solutions), which mean that the scientist discloses this disputable or accepted idea (solution) better than his/herpredecessors, understands the essence of the phenomenon, reasons of practical drawbacks deeper, represents this or that economicmechanisms in more details. 3. Expansion of ideas and solutions over new spheres of application, which means that the author suggeststo use any accepted idea (solution) in a new sphere of action with the account for its peculiarities.
