The actuality of the investigated problem is caused by the need for students' training at pedagogical high schools to meet the challenges of research activities and the insufficient development of the theoretical, content-technological, scientific and methodological aspects of the formation of their experimental research competencies at the undergraduate level, in particular, within the framework of laboratory course on general physics. The purpose of the article is to identify the most appropriate ways to form experimental research competencies during the laboratory course. The study revealed that the organization of mini investigations within the laboratory works on physics contributes to the formation of experimental research competencies of undergraduate students at pedagogical universities. Results of the investigation can be used in higher education establishments, Institutions of Advanced Training of Teachers of Physics and Physical experts in secondary schools and colleges.
