A provoking for undergraduate to verbalization of scientific judgment in master thesis as a method of knowledge management

The authors practice some methods of knowledge management by undergraduates cognitive activity. The authors aim to strengthen two beginnings in the students: 1) structurally ordered thinking; 2) ego-oriented attitude of the student to the own Master thesis, i.e. perception of the thesis on an intersection of scientific cognition tradition and attempt of the student self-realization. The methods have "provocative" character: the aim of such management is decided under pretext of undergraduates adaptation to the standards of a professional behavior. For development structurally ordered thinking of the student the authors recommend the trained a plane of the report by results of researches and structure of Master thesis. It stimulates the student to reflex above the contents and methods of its researches. Similarly, the authors explain to the student genre features and structures of scientific judgment which is carried out on a defense in Master thesis. Besides the authors have developed 18 creative (problem) tasks appropriate to three cycles of seminars: 1) "Master thesis as a cultural sample"; 2) "Master thesis as fruits of my creative labor and a subject of self-criticism"; 3) "Master thesis as a driver of my withdrawal from a condition of ignorantia juvenilis". These tasks force the student to analyze a sense and level of own researches outcomes, looking on them through a prism of submissions about regularities of creativity and prognosises of natural sciences the next 20-50 years.
