critical thinking skills. We imagine an idea that changes depending on the situation. The child
gets into a certain situation, and he immediately begins to monitor, analyze, process
information, draw conclusions, make decisions, take responsibility. This is critical thinking.
Critical thinking (Eng . critical thinking) is a system of thinking that is used in the analysis of
things and phenomena with rational conclusions and allows rational assessment and
interpretation, as well as the application of the results obtained to situations and problems.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Critical thinking is what to believe or how to act. effective, reflective thinking aimed at
deciding what to do. In addition, critical thinking is the ability to doubt the information being
studied, including one's own judgments. Also known as thinking about thinking. One of the
most common definitions is "rational reflexive thinking aimed at deciding what to believe
and what to do", actively and skillfully analyzing, observing, conceptualizing the information
obtained or generated by experience, communication as a target point for trust and action. ,
an intellectually regulated process of application, synthesis, or evaluation."The term" critical
thinking " itself goes back to philosopher John Dewey. He used the term more as 'reflective
thinking':'an active, consistent and careful consideration of any thought or assumed form of
knowledge in terms of the foundations that support it and its consequences'. Scientist J.
According to Davy: "students develop critical thinking only when they begin to deal with a
certain problem. Therefore, the most important question about the situation or phenomenon,
which is considered the starting point of the educational process, is the question of what kind
of problem this event causes. Only when struggling with a certain problem and looking for a
way out of a difficult situation does the student really think. "Critical thinking is a type of
thinking that requires people to reflect and consider decisions that shape their thoughts and
actions. "Critical thinking allows people to think logically, process complex information, and
consider different aspects of the problem so that they can draw solid conclusions."Critical
thinking has seven im curiosities, openness to various aspects, the ability to think
systematically, an analytical approach, persistence in reality, self-confidence in critical
thinking, and finally maturity.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Although critical thinking can be defined in different ways, there is general agreement that its
main component is the desire to achieve a satisfactory result, and this must be achieved
through rational thinking and results-oriented work. In the process of working in small
groups, students behave more freely. Even children who are afraid of embarrassment by
answering incorrectly will have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge. They see
that their thoughts are appreciated by others. Shy students in the classroom become more
active. Working in a group gives him a sense of self-confidence. In a group of 4-5 students, a
shy student feels more relaxed than responding in front of 30-35 students. In general,
working in small groups trains teachers and students to be more active, to feel responsible for
the group, and helps develop their communication skills. This, in turn, requires the
widespread use of innovative methods that will help individual students and students gain
interest in the lesson, develop independence and activity, develop critical thinking. Therefore,
the comprehensive development of the state of Uzbekistan and the success of the reforms
carried out depend on the level of independent thinking, broad knowledge, upbringing and

formation of a common culture of the younger generation. Therefore, the formation of free
observation and critical thinking skills in all ages in our society is a social need. First of all, it
is necessary to teach students that they are responsible for critical thinking. The task of the
teacher is to create an environment that encourages critical thinking. Critical thinking is a
complex process of thinking that begins with the acquisition of information and ends with a
conclusion. However, critical thinking is a pedagogical technology aimed at developing
students ' ability to work with text, master oral and written speech, and act as a high level of
cognitive activity in this text together with their peers. Critical thinking is a set of strategies
that can change the thinking of the educational process, that is, the lesson becomes the work
of the teacher and students. The structures of critical thinking, the specifics of individual
components that determine the methods of forming generalized methods of mental activity
are analyzed. In these studies, the preparation for systematic education and the
comprehensive activation of personality have developed, based on the orientation of
elementary students to occupy all the components of critical thinking. The implementation of
these goals as a complete concept requires the need to improve all branches of traditional
didactic systems, including motives, methods and organizational means of forming active
critical thinking of students, and its in-depth research at various age stages of human
development. In short, critical thinking has a positive effect on the intellectual competence
and development of the student. Critical thinking requires a lot of attention and brain work.
When a critical thinking approach is applied to learning, it helps the reader's brain to work
well and understand texts differently. Different areas of teaching may require different types
of critical thinking. Critical thinking provides multiple perspectives and perspectives to the
same material. If there is no freedom and knowledge, there will be no critical thinking. Any
society needs an educated generation with the ability to think critically.
CONCLUSION
Critical thinking is the basis of discoveries, the main factor in innovation and the pillar of
Social Development. Critical thinking is an important step for elementary school students
towards becoming a successful person in the future. To form these skills, the teacher should
apply various methods that activate the thinking process of children, not limited to giving
only knowledge. Readers with critical thinking will inevitably become independent, creative
and successful individuals in the future.
