Abstract
The article talks about the introduction of critical thinking technology at "Ecology" classes in educational institutions of higher education. The methodical development of the lesson using the "Six Hats of Thinking method" by Eduard de Bono, implemented at the Siberian Federal University and the Siberian Fire and Rescue Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia during a practical (seminar) lesson in the field of Ecology is presented. The advantage of using this format is that mindfulness develops - students are fixed on various aspects. The psychological role-playing game disturbs the usual way of thinking and decision-making to the brain. It is based on the consideration of the problem from different angles. The essence of this method is that the colour of the hat at each stage of the game sets the direction of the discussion for the participants in a single direction. The teacher gives students a specific task - to state the facts or express their opinion, depending on what colour the hat is in the group. In this case, hats act as metaphors that indicate the direction of the discussion. This method is applicable in the educational process of these higher education institutions for the first time. The final test control showed high results in the development of new material in practical exercises. The effectiveness of the application of the Six Hats of Thinking method has been proven by Siberian Federal University and Rescue Academy State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia.
