Abstract
When the general objectives, national educational vision and educational programs that guide the Turkish education system are examined, it is seen that analytical thinking is one of the main skills that are aimed to be developed and will be taken more seriously in the coming period. Although the teaching programs and learning environments are well prepared, it is an obligation for teachers to have the necessary competencies in order to successfully achieve the goals of the program. Teachers who use analytical thinking skills effectively and are expected to train analytical thinking individuals should have analytical thinking knowledge, skills and tendencies, be able to apply methods and techniques that will lead students to analytical thinking. As a result of the radical innovations made in education in Turkey since 2004, the dissemination of analytical thinking skills and attitudes has become one of the priority issues. Teacher competencies, primary and secondary education programs, as well as teacher training programs at the higher education level are structured on the basis of thinking education. During their education, prospective teachers should gain awareness, knowledge and understanding of analytical thinking, learn how to apply methods, techniques and measurement tools that will lead students to analytical thinking. However, studies show that few faculty members and students in teacher education have the necessary knowledge, understanding or experience in teaching analytical thinking. In order to ensure the integration of analytical thinking into the teaching of teachers in pre-service or in-service training, the development of analytical thinking skills and tendencies, metacognitive skills involving monitoring and reflection, comprehension of problems and arguments require many areas to be addressed. Professional knowledge about analytical thinking, teaching competence and teaching behaviors are considered important for the design of teaching that develops analytical thinking.
