The paper examines theoretical perspectives of scientific thinking development in university students as an element of quality. Scientific thinking is a key element that serves as a base in scientific and professional formation of university students. The problem of its development in students was first raised in 20 th century. Students encounter the activities in line with their professional goals but there are no specific activities oriented specifically towards scientific thinking development. As a result of this study, a theoretical model of scientific thinking development is proposed. It is based on three components that suggest a solution to improve quality in university studies, and enable ways for students to explore the concepts of spinning across the science projects. It is also presented a psychological portrait of a student with high level of scientific thinking and the most important traits that emphasize cognitive dispositions are highlighted. This can engage and also help students to make a research and to be creative in their own scientific activity.

„Affectivity is the phenomenon of resonance of the world in the subject and that occurs in the measure and measure of the resonant devices of the subject and is also the expressive vibration of the social subject in his world, an inner existential melody that erupts in action and reorganizes the world. only subjective experience, but also evaluative communication, is not only a subjective, vector dynamic-energetic function, but also an affective behavior"[3]. Affective states are "feelings that express the degree of concordance or inconsistency between an object or a situation and our tendencies" [1]. One of the definitions of affectivity says that it is a sum of subjective psychic feelings - emotions, moods, feelings and passions - that reflect man's relationships with the world around him and that give color, the substance of everything we think and do. Affectivity is a basic component of the human psyche, there is practically no psychic process (memory, sensation, thought, motivation) that is not closely related to an emotional experience or vice versa. We could say that inner mental processes but also behaviors are determined by emotional feelings and / or triggeremotions, feelings, moods or passions.
