Abstract: The article investigates the potential of project-based research activity as an effective means of forming digital competence in 7th–9th grade students during technology lessons using educational robotics. The essence and structure of digital competence are examined in accordance with the European DigComp 2.2 framework and the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education of Ukraine. The pedagogical potential of educational robotics as an integrative tool for forming digital, technological, and research skills of basic school students is analyzed. The article reveals the specifics of organizing project-based research activities in technology lessons using Arduino, LEGO Mindstorms, and Scratch platforms in interaction with a modern digital educational environment. A six-stage model for implementing an educational robotics project in technology lessons is substantiated, and criteria and indicators for assessing the formation of students’ digital competence are defined. The stages include: motivational-orientational, analytical-research, constructive-technological, programming-debugging, research-analytical, and presentation-reflective. For each stage, specific digital activities of students are identified that ensure the systematic formation of all five areas of digital competence according to DigComp 2.2. The results of pedagogical observation confirm that 7th–9th grade students demonstrate significantly higher motivation for learning activities when performing robotics projects compared to traditional tasks. Particularly notable are increases in cognitive interest, readiness for independent information seeking, and solving non-standard technical problems. Methodological recommendations for introducing project-based research activities with robotics into the practice of technology teachers are formulated. The proposed approach complies with the requirements of the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education of Ukraine and is consistent with leading international trends in STEM education and the formation of students’ digital competence.
