Shaping student's scientific mindset during laboratory classes in physics at the university

The article deals with the problems faca ed when shaping student’s scientific mindset. It should be pointed out that such difficulties lie deep in the pedagogical science. Look-back analysis of undertaken research on the problems under consideration is carried out. The article proves the necessity to make use of all the possibilities of a learning process at the univa ersity to shape student’s scientific mindset in accordance with society requirements. It is shown that students are able to transfer knowledge into scientific mindset when studying physics at the university. Curriculum of lab classes in mechanics, molecular physics, and thermodynamics is developed considering its functional feature - an accomplishment of objectives in development physics. In accordance with the aim of shaping student’s mindset criteria on evaluating lab classes in physics are developed.
