PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING IN SCHOOLCHILDREN IN A DISTANCE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article discusses methods for developing critical thinking in schoolchildren in the context of distance learning. The main difficulties that students and teachers face when using traditional methods in an online format are analyzed, and the need to introduce active methods, such as debates, case methods and project activities, is substantiated. Based on a questionnaire and experimental study, pedagogical approaches that contribute to the formation of critical thinking in students are identified. The results of the study show that interactive methods and technologies integrated into distance learning increase the level of analytical and evaluative abilities of schoolchildren. Recommendations for teachers on the effective use of these methods in online learning are developed.
