Abstract

The aim of the work: to determine the searching skills for literary sources with choice of information that has the best evidence base and the ability to distinguish a quintessence of a scientific message with the further development of analytical thinking by students of the natural sciences’ faculties.

Materials and Methods. During the 2016–2018 years, 80 students of the medical faculty participated in the study, who had a topic for searching, processing and establishment of the most informative materials within the set time, determining the semantic field, critically evaluating the text and writing their own rating of the articles with evidence base. The number of processed articles, spending of productive time on the material, indirectly relates to the search query, the correctness of text quintessence, definition of empirical cycle components of scientific research.

Results and Discussion. During the set time, 42.5 % of persons processed 10 or more articles, 51.25 % – 5–9 articles, 6.25 % – 1–4 articles. 7.5 % of students took one third of the time to review information that was not related to a specific question. The quintessence of texts was done by 57 students (71.25 %). 24 persons (30 %) identified the empirical cycle components.
