Influence of Critical Thinking Technologies on Improvement of Students Performance During Self-Study

Abstract

Applicability of the article is preconditioned by the requirements of information-oriented society that dictate modern youth the necessity of work with information ability, to see, to envisage and to correct logic errors. In modern world it is important to conduct reflection of own activity that maintain the necessity of critical thinking development, especially during individual acquisition of knowledge by students of higher educational establishments. Though critical thinking is introduced at school, it should be developed actively also on the next levels of education, including the level of higher education. Aims. To check complex of methods of critical thinking methods directed to the development of intellectual educational skills of students during unsupervised work. Methods: general scientific methods of information analysis were used in the research. Questionnaire method was introduced with the help of methods of the level of competency certification of Yu. Tatur, “critical analysis” of Barret, finding of logical errors of Cheifits. Qualimetric approach of the research of level of competency certification. Semantic differential tear of J. Dease. Statistic analysis was performed with the help of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results. During the research it was revealed that the average rate of rational thinking of all groups of respondents is on the average level and is equal to about 50%. Propensity for sweeping generalizations of students of 1-2 years of study is 10% higher, students of 2-3 years of study is for 10 % more empiric one. Empiric objectness of students of 3-4 years of study is 14,5%, and students of 1-2 years of study is from 11,4% to 12,1%. Conclusions. According to all criteria of diagnostics of efficiency of critical thinking effect on self-guided work if students positive dynamics was revealed. Students of 1-2 years of study showed higher potential for self-guided work than students of 3-4 years of study. Perspectives. Further researches can be organized in direction of development and introduction of critical thinking development for improvement of acquirement of competences with regard of future professional activity.

Enhancing EFL students’ critical thinking skills using a technology-mediated self-study approach: EFL graduates and labor market in perspective

“…In addition, the result supports that of Morozova et al’s [ 20 ] study, which showed evidence of the connection between critical thinking ability and independent learning; students who learned to think critically boosted their independent learning. Besides, the current result echoes that of Zuluaga et al [ 37 ], who showed that reading and writing techniques increase students’ argumentation capacity; nonetheless, they lack critical thinking abilities.…”

“…In self-study, learners can construct new knowledge, find new solutions to problems, recognize new challenges to address, and respond to various contexts [ 19 ]. According to [ 20 ], self-study learning enables students to develop a foundation for continued education, allowing them to constantly enhance their abilities and be flexible socially and professionally given the need to identify and justify the practical use of techniques for critical thinking which contributes to the development of independent work of students. In this regard, Morozova et al [ 20 ] showed evidence of the connection between critical thinking ability and independent learning; students who learned to think critically boosted their independent learning.…”

According to [ 21 ], interactive e-books in scientific education are interactive and may be utilized for self-study to improve students’ critical thinking abilities.…”

“…Proactively ask questions and think critically to solve problems that require alternatives. It allows students to actively participate and develop critical thinking skills, but is also a fun way to learn (Morozova et al, 2022;Siburian et al, 2019). The lecture method makes students passive and does not make them think, so restrictions are needed and educators must provide many opportunities to actively develop their skills (Haftador et al, 2021;Muwahiddah et al, 2019).…”
