Conditions for Developing Critical Thinking–Based Intellectual Competence of Future Primary Education Teachers
Abstract
This article analyzes the pedagogical possibilities of developing the intellectuality of future primary school teachers based on critical thinking. The concept of critical thinking, its role in the educational process, as well as ways to increase intellectual potential through modern pedagogical approaches, and the possibilities of developing individual intellectuality are analyzed. Intellectuality is not only the possession of knowledge, but also the ability to think independently, solve problems, draw logical conclusions and create innovations. The study compares the factors affecting intellectual development, the role of modern technologies, the education system and the social environment, traditional and innovative methods, and puts forward practical proposals.
