Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical foundations of developing scientific thinking in gifted students within an educational and information environment. Particular emphasis is placed on the idea that individual thinking, including scientific thinking, should be regarded as an integral component of intelligence. Based on a historical retrospective of concepts of intelligence, the study argues for the appropriateness of understanding intelligence as an apparatus of intelligent behavior – a higher mental phenomenon compared to instinct and skill, which also participate in the processes of individual adaptation to the environment and its transformation according to personal needs. Structurally, intelligence – specifically its thinking component as an apparatus of intelligent behavior – is represented through cognitive and creative blocks. The elements of these blocks correspond to the components of thinking, primarily scientific thinking, especially in gifted individuals. Depending on the nature of the scientific problem being addressed, the thinking process may unfold within practical or theoretical, reproductive or productive, logical or intuitive, deductive or inductive dimensions. The article concludes by referring to key ideas developed by philosophers, psychologists, and educators that may serve as a methodological framework for the development of scientific thinking in gifted students within the educational and information environment. Additionally, it emphasizes that in assessing the level of scientific thinking, the most important factor is not the presence of errors made by students, but the manner in which they approach and perform tasks while making those errors.
