Type of thinking as a personal determinant of students' inclinations to research activities

nowadays, students are required not only to participate in the implementation of various projects, but also to create them, recruit a team to work and obtain the necessary results and implement projects in practice. Such skills can be successfully developed in the research activities of students. However, there are individual characteristics and preferences of various components of research activities that may depend on various factors. The purpose of the study is to study the scientific inclinations of students with different types of thinking. The subject of the study is scientific aptitudes, and the object is 2nd year college students of various specialties. The research hypothesis is based on the assumption that students with different types of thinking will have different inclinations and preferences in the components of scientific activity. The research methods were theoretical analysis of scientific literature, testing, questionnaires, methods of mathematical statistics. The research used the method of "Type of thinking" (modified by Rezapkina), as well as a questionnaire developed by the authors to identify students' scientific inclinations. Our research has shown that, according to college students, research activities allow them to develop critical thinking, creativity, gain experience, develop independent work skills, and work in a team. The analysis of the research results allows us to identify a number of specific manifestations of inclinations to research activities, depending on the type of thinking of students. Such features include interest and willingness to participate in scientific research, experience in performing certain types of research activities, the desire for independence or teamwork, the need for instruction or mentoring from teachers, the choice of certain functions in a research team – collecting, processing or presenting information, analyzing results and formulating conclusions., preparation of texts and presentations, oral presentations in front of an audience. The research results can be useful for involving students in research activities, their planning and implementation, scientific leadership, the formation of research teams and student scientific communities.
