Развитие критического мышления обучающихся на основе применения проектного метода обучения: международный опыт

Abstract

The article considers the issue of developing students’ critical thinking as an important competence in the 21st century educational context. Having analyzed the international re­search, the authors attempt to present approaches to interpreting the concept of “critical thin­king,” its component composition, and methods of its development through the implemen­ta­tion of Project-Based Learning (PBL). The project serves as the core of the educational pro­cess, directing it towards creating conditions for the development of critical thinking and crea­tive abilities of students in interdisciplinary environments when solving real-life prob­lems. The stages of implementing an educational project in the context of interdisciplinary in­tegration are also discussed. International experience in applying the project-based learning me­thod in various subject areas demonstrates its significant impact on the development of stu­dents’ critical thinking skills and overall academic performance.
