Critical Intelligence as the Formation of Intellectual Culture of Primary School Schools

Abstract

The article deals with the development of critical thinking as a means of forming the intellectual culture of students. It is proved that a student who is able to think critically, has a variety of ways of interpreting and evaluating educational information, is able to highlight the contradictions in the text and the types of structures represented in it, to argue his point of view, relying not only on logic, but also on the imagination of the interlocutor. A critical thinking student can effectively interact with the information space, taking the principle of the possibility of coexistence of various points of view within the framework of universal values. Analyzing many approaches to the interpretation of this complex concept, in the given work, under critical thinking, we understand the student’s ability clearly identify the problem that needs to be solved; independently find, process and analyze information. It is logical to build up your thoughts, to make convincing arguments. It develops the ability to think creatively, to choose the only correct solution to the problem; to be open to the perception of the thoughts of others and at the same time crucial in defending its position. Studying the state of the problem of the development of critical thinking of students in the study of disciplines in primary school has revealed a number of difficulties, namely: in spite of the increased attention to this problem at the level of state requirements, there is no holistic developed system for developing critical thinking of students by means of subjects studying, and therefore such work at the lessons does not acquire proper status and is considered as a by- product of educational and cognitive activity; most of the lessons are conducted at a low emotional level, and the applied didactic means do not allow the student to obtain the necessary experience of research and study of nature, methods of critical assessment of facts and phenomena of life. As a result, the inadequate level of development in students’ critical thinking, which is explained by formalism in the students’ knowledge, and in their attitude to the educational process, which leads to the inability to apply the theory in practice and the advantage of memory over understanding, reduces the quality of learning. Of course, the elementary school students are still in the process of their personal formation, so the teacher has time to develop in them the necessary qualities of critical thinking.
