Abstract
The article explores psychological features of mastering the content of natural sciences by students with humanities line of thought. The specifics of teaching natural sciences to the students with humanities line of thought is determined by the students» perception and processing of information. Humanities-minded students are characterized by slow generalization, unconcluded thinking, and a weak tendency to rationality. The problem of understanding and comprehension in humanities-minded students is more prominent, which is revealed in formal memorization of formulas and definitions no realizing the meaning and recognizing only familiar information.Students with Humanities line of thought often have difficulty using abstract material and precise scientific concepts. The specific character of humanitarian thinking lies in its associative character and essential role of the subjective, emotional, expression of interest to the person and his role in the world. For the Humanities-minded students, imagery and vivacity of thinking, emotional attitude to events are more typical. Experience shows that students who have chosen to study Humanities have a predominant humanitarian thinking. This type of thinking is formed by the special education in secondary schools and is still developing at the stage of higher education. Humanitarian type of thinking is characterized by dialogue, variability, creativity, independence in mastering new knowledge, ability to intellectual inventions and experiments with unknown and not evident results, reflexing and critical thinking of the results. Humanities-minded students are more characterized by the prevalence of associative, imaginative thinking, emotional perception of information, rejection of formalized, probative ways of reasoning, the dominance of the real perception of the world over the abstract and idealized.
