Abstract

Abstract: This article addresses a challenge of forming the culture of thinking in the learners. It demonstrates that an indicator of the progress of this quality is the students' ability to operate strings of inferences and to build a conceptual semantic web. The article considers outcomes of teaching classes with a use of a compound approach, that is, a combination of an interactive lecture and a heuristic conversation. Analysis of the outcomes was effected through a questionnaire survey with a subsequent interpretation of the outcomes by means of building a conceptual semantic web that the student had formed upon completion of the cycle of classes. The findings were analyzed from the viewpoint of the clip thinking concept and the "oversimplified mind" concept.
