On April 15, 2026, the Faculty of Preschool and Primary Education hosted a seminar titled "The Scientific Path: Making Complex Things Simple" featuring Natalya Sergeevna Stasilovich, Associate Professor of the Chair of Psychology and Social Pedagogy. The event took place as part of Youth Science Week – an important initiative aimed at developing students' research skills and promoting science among young people.

During the seminar, participants examined issues related to the education system of the Republic of Belarus as a whole, with a particular focus on the stages of higher education. Topics concerning the writing and formatting of student research papers (term papers, theses, articles for scientific-practical conferences) remain highly relevant. Students involved in research work under the guidance of faculty members, present at scientific conferences, and create visual presentations and poster reports. These forms of work not only help deepen knowledge but also prepare students for their future professional careers, as well as enhance their competitiveness when applying for master's or doctoral programs.

Special attention was given during the seminar to the issue of overcoming procrastination in academic settings. This condition often arises from feelings of being overwhelmed, fear of failure, and lack of motivation. Many students put off assignments in an attempt to avoid stress or negative emotions associated with studying. Access to entertainment and distractions (social media, games) further hinders concentration. Seminar participants discussed time management techniques and effective strategies for combating procrastination, including the Pomodoro Technique, the "Elephant and Steak" technique, the "Eat the Frog" method, the "Minus 14" deadline approach, and others.

The seminar "The Scientific Path: Making Complex Things Simple" served as an important milestone in fostering a research culture among students, inspiring them toward further scientific and professional development.
