Abstract

Patterns of the thinking process affect not only the success of students
at school, but, more importantly, they affect the success of a person in his or
her professional and personal sphere. According to the fact that today the
availability of information and their volume grow geometrically, it is
extremely important to learn how to deal with overloading of information. From
this point of view, it is desirable to human nature to be identical to human
cognition, which unambiguously exceeds only the ratio itself. Human wisdom is
externally demonstrated by the culture of thinking. The ability of impartial
judgment, the ability to predict, observe, asses and evaluate phenomena belong
to the basic characteristics of thinking culture. One of the primary
prerequisites for the quality of complementary thinking is the ability to
uncover relationships, compare them in connections and generalize them
appropriately. This "versatile" assessment, which is denoted as
critical thinking, can be learned through the application of mind or cognitive
maps. The article presents the experience of authors with the preparation of
future teachers of technical subjects not only with the application of these
maps in the process of teaching, but also with their elaboration by the
students.
