Problem-Based Questions in the Development of Theoretical Thinking.

Problem-based questions (PBQs) are mastered in the process of learning the subject matter and developing the ability to think. Constructing PBQs enabled students to develop their ability to consciously handle notions, formulate statements, make conclusions, and reveal contradictions. The ability to operate a system of notions while posing questions and looking for answers to them encourages meaningful communication. The findings were used to develop and implement an advanced training course for university teachers. The booster of theoretical thinking helps to switch from declarative knowledge given by a teacher to its joint discovery with learners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
