The Importance of Cognitive Processes in the Formation of a Scientific Worldview among Students

Abstract

It is known that for many decades the process of forming a scientific worldview was built in accordance with the Marxist-Leninist worldview proclaimed in our country. The changed historical situation and the accumulation of a hugearray of new scientific data required a rethinking of the problem of the formation of the scientific worldview of the individual in the educational process. The study of psychological and pedagogical sources and dissertations allowed us toconclude that, despite the available approaches to the study of this topic, many of its aspects remain insufficiently studiedto date. As the analysis showed, one of the reasons for this essence of the issue is the complexity, ambiguity and poor knowledge of the very term “scientific worldview” in the scientific literature. The worldview problem has a long history (Homer, Pythagoras, Plato, Heraclitus, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Engels, Lenin, P.V. Alekseev,V.S.Buyanov, V.I.Drygin, V.F. Chernoolenko, G. Meyer, M. Scheler et al.) And is described in multivolume literature.
