The study of the development of different types of thinking in university students is quite relevant today. In the modern conditions of a rapidly changing reality, it is important to train specialists of a new type, capable of acting on the basis of flexible algorithms, independently designing new methods, algorithms and types of activity. The development of such abilities is determined by the special type of thinking – inventive thinking, the development of which in specialists requires new approaches and methods in training. The development of inventive thinking can also be determined by the content of training. The article presents the study of the problem of developing inventive thinking in university students, that is, thinking that allows them to critically evaluate incoming information and transform it, thereby applying new activity algorithms, rather than copying existing ones. Training of personnel who can quickly solve complex and non-trivial problems, transform existing algorithms and sequences of actions within the framework of educational, work and other activities is relevant. At the present stage, there is rather weak methodological support of teachers who train students in educational organizations of higher education system, in terms of developing inventive thinking. The aim of the study is to analyze the conditions for developing inventive thinking among students of educational organizations of higher professional education, including within the framework of studying disciplines of the natural science cycle. The following tasks were solved: approaches to the problem of developing inventive thinking were analyzed; pedagogical conditions for the development of inventive thinking (organizational, conditions of the content of training, methodological conditions) were identified. The potential of the content of natural science disciplines as one of the means of developing inventive thinking was analyzed. In the course of the work, a number of pedagogical conditions was identified that could contribute to the development of inventive thinking. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that the work systematizes approaches to defining and understanding the essence of inventive thinking. An approach to understanding inventive thinking is presented: both as an integrative quality of the individual and as a system of competences formed in the process of learning and other activities. The main conditions for the development of inventive thinking are identified. The practical significance of the presented study lies in the fact that in the course of the work, recommendations were given for the development of inventive thinking of students in the framework of university training.
