The formation of students’ scientific worldview is a significant socio-psychological issue that directly influences their cognitive development, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. This paper explores the theoretical and practical aspects of shaping students’ scientific outlook by analyzing the interplay of educational, psychological, and social factors. The study highlights the role of academic environments, pedagogical approaches, and interdisciplinary methodologies in fostering a well-rounded scientific perspective. Furthermore, it examines the challenges associated with developing a scientific worldview in students, including cognitive biases, societal influences, and the accessibility of quality education. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating innovative teaching strategies and psychological support mechanisms to enhance students’ engagement with scientific concepts and improve their analytical skills.
