Integrating subject-based research in primary school with digital technologies is one of the strategic objectives aimed at improving the quality of the modern education system. Developing research skills in early-age students requires, along with traditional methods, the purposeful and methodologically correct use of digital tools. Digital microscopes, interactive simulations, virtual laboratories, multimedia models, online research platforms, and AI-based assignments elevate the subject-based research process to a new level and enhance students’ cognitive activity. These technologies make it possible to visually explain complex phenomena, quickly analyze information, accurately record experimental results, and create personalized learning trajectories. Moreover, digital integration combines primary education content with inquiry-based learning, fostering students’ critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills, and digital literacy. The article thoroughly analyzes the interconnection between subject-based research and digital technologies, the conditions for effective integration, and their pedagogical potential.
