The ability to think critically has been important at all times, but in the 21st century, when the world has entered a period of global change, when constantly changing conditions require the ability to solve emerging innovative and non-standard problems, critical thinking is inevitable.
The main goals of teaching are the formation of creative and critical thinking, the ability to use the information received and apply knowledge in practice in various situations, thus, allowing a specialist to be successful in modern society.Today, no one doubts that students should be involved in research and creative activities in order to understand, invent, master new things, express their thoughts, make decisions, be able to critically evaluate the reliability, accuracy of something; i.e. take a critical look at any situation in general.
