Formation of critical thinking among ukrainian students in the context of european integration

Abstract

The aim of the article is to study and analyze the peculiarities of formation of critical thinking among Ukrainian students in the context of European integration. It has been proven that one of the main problems in developing critical thinking skills is creating appropriate pedagogical conditions. It is noted that educators should adhere to the principles of critical saturation of educational information and critical correctness. The analysis of the state of the problem of developing critical thinking skills among university students allows us to state that despite the existence of a significant number of scientific publications on the topic, there are several unresolved issues regarding the development of critical thinking skills, including its signs, criteria, indicators, and levels of development, diagnostic tools, a qualitative adaptation of Western technologies to the domestic education system, and the development of optimal and effective technologies for developing critical thinking skills.
