CRITICAL THINKING: MODERN DEFINITIONS AND PROBLEMS OF REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS IN KAZAKHSTAN

In this article, critical thinking is considered not as an educational technology, but an educational ideal. The question about the nature of critical thinking is still open, and the article provides the basic concepts and definitions that are important for further discussions. Nevertheless, the critical thinker has a set of properties that adherents of various points of view agree with. In the context of this set, the definitions adopted in our country are analyzed. Further, the inconsistency in the requirements for the level of development of critical thinking of schoolchildren and students is considered. At the end of the article, we examine main opportunities of integrating the teaching of critical thinking to students, aimed to eliminate that inconsistency and to get closer to the global educational ideal.
