On the basis of the analysis of modern scientific research it was established that the main characteristics of critical thinking are activity; reflexivity; logic (compliance with criteria, discipline, weighting, reasoning); independence (self-regulation, self-control); orientation on solving real problems (life, educational).

The methodology for critical thinking development of future biology teachers should be based on the synthesis of technologies such as problem-based learning, developmental learning, and collective learning.
