Abstract

The study aims to analyze contemporary approaches to interpreting the concept of “critical thinking” in foreign scientific and pedagogical literature. Today, preparing students at various levels of education to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future requires developing a set of 21stcentury skills, among which critical thinking plays a key role. Critical thinking is essential for transforming learners into agents of activity, characterized by the ability to think rationally, understand cause-and-effect relationships among phenomena, distinguish objective facts from subjective judgments, and make well-reasoned decisions. It is found out that in foreign scientific and pedagogical literature critical thinking is associated with skills such as the ability to analyze, solve problems, search for information, evaluate, make logical inferences, observe, communicate, and collaborate with others.
