FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES OF STUDENTS FOR THE STUDY OF FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCES

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to reproduce the peculiarities of the development of the general intellectual abilities of the students for the study of fundamental sciences. The article emphasizes that the development of general intellectual abilities of students involves the formation of such key competencies as logical thinking, critical thinking, problem thinking, creative thinking, communication skills, self-organization and self-regulation skills, skills of critical evaluation of information, research skills. It is pointed out that the general development of the intellectual abilities of higher education students to study fundamental sciences is an important component of the educational system, which contributes to the formation of a competent, creative and conscious citizen capable of self-realization in the modern world. The research methodology is based on the fact that fundamental sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics study the main principles underlying all scientific disciplines. The scientific novelty is that the study of fundamental sciences requires analytical, critical and creative thinking. Learners must be able to analyze information, identify logical connections, make hypotheses, and conduct experiments. This can be achieved through the development of critical, analytical and creative thinking, problem-based learning and the promotion of creativity. Studying of fundamental sciences has its advantages. It helps to develop logical thinking, critical thinking and analytical skills. Fundamental science knowledge can be used in many fields, including technology, medicine, scientific research, and more. Emphasis is also placed on the shortcomings of the general intellectual abilities of students, during the mastery of certain competencies: lack of motivation, limited attention and concentration, insufficient development of critical thinking, insufficient self-regulation skills, lack of predictability, a large number of abstract concepts and terms, unclear teaching methods, etc. Studying of fundamental sciences helps students to understand the nature of the world around us, to develop a scientific approach to problem solving, and critical thinking skills.
