THE ROLE OF “IMAGINATION” IN THE PROCESS OF “CREATIVE THINKING”.DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ “IMAGINATION” AND “CREATIVE THINKING” SKILLS IN TEACHING PHYSICS

Abstract

The article discusses the necessity of professionals with “creative thinking” skills and the dependence of “imagination” and “creative thinking.  The role of “Imagination” in psychology, its mechanism of formation in the human brain and its scientific perception of food are discussed.

The possibilities of developing “imagination” were explored. Students are recommended to use the Mind Map as a productive way to develop their “imagination” and therefore “creative thinking” skills. For this purpose, “the mind map of the imagination” was given. The importance of the role of "imagination" in the study of natural sciences, especially physics, and the use of mind maps in the study of these sciences can be an effective way to develop students' "imagination" and "creative thinking" skills is shown.

The article discusses the "Mind Map of the First Law of Thermodynamics" and its role in the study of physical processes, as well as in the formation of "creative thinking" skills in students. This is the first time that Mind Maps have been published
