of introducing Critical thinking to Higher education in Uzbekistan relaying on the experiences of
development countries.

Nowadays, people are surrounded by a variety of information. In turn, this requires
people to be able to distinguish which information is reliable or which is unfit. In today's
evolving society, one of the most important tasks of higher education is to develop the skills of
future professionals to keep pace with the times, to work freely in the field of information, high
and rational thinking. According to Tenías (2013), the current world demands fostering the habit
of being well informed, of expressing one‘s opinions correctly and appropriately, and having,
defending and arguing one‘s ideas and opinions as well as being able to understand, analyses and
evaluate others‘ views. To Flores (2016), critical thinking skills are indispensable for the
professional development of students in the knowledge society, as they contribute to face the
challenges of a globalized world [1]. ―At a time when the economy is booming, it is unfortunate
that the higher education system, instead of being the locomotive of development, is not keeping
pace with the times‖ [2] said the President of Uzbekistan. Therefore, one of the priorities of the
education sector is to further improve the quality of higher education, to confront students with
modern sciences. Critical thinking is one of such modern subjects for higher education in
Uzbekistan.
If we take a closer look at the higher education system of developed foreign countries,
survey by the Times Education Supplement
, 85% of teachers worldwide feel their
students don‘t have the critical thinking skills they need when they start university. 93% of
teachers in 82 countries across the globe agreed that it‘s important to develop students‘ critical
thinking skills but only 21% agreed that they have all the materials they need to develop these
skills [3]. In many countries, researchers pay attention to find new materials, textbooks and
others in order to provide students sufficient materials. The United States, the United Kingdom,
Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, and other countries are already teaching students critical
thinking in higher education. Following in the footsteps of these countries, it would be expedient
for Uzbekistan to include this subject in the higher education system in the near future.
We have a number of important tasks ahead of us to introduce critical thinking as a new
subject in higher education in Uzbekistan. The first perhaps the most significant step is to study
the experience of foreign countries that currently teach critical thinking as a science in the higher
education system. By studying it, critical thinking can be analyzed by comparing how many
times a week they are in the class schedule, how many hours they last, how many hours they are
taught for a semester, and how many total annual classes they have. After that, it is possible to
461
analyze the education system of all countries and think about the number of critical thinking
classes in higher education in Uzbekistan. The next step is creating textbooks or study guides for
students. In this process, too, we rely primarily on textbooks or other books from foreign
countries. At the stage of creating textbooks or manuals, it would be expedient to create
materials taking into account the national values, the content, as well as the various processes
taking place in foreign countries and modern Uzbekistan such as economic, social and political.
Upon completion of these stages, critical thinking as an experimental test is introduced into the
higher education system as an elective subject for selected faculty or direction students. If this
subject has a significant effect, then it is taught as a new subject for students of other faculties or
directions. Of course, every textbook here is created in accordance with the direction of the
students.
Taking everything into consideration, one of the main goals of the higher education
system of Uzbekistan is to develop personnel who are able to meet the requirements of modern
society, keep pace with the times, have high skills, high thinking ability, and work freely with
information. The growing and changing demand for generic and professional competencies in
the labor market requires higher education to constantly readapt to the current situation.
Additionally, this also means reviewing and evaluating society‘s needs and emerging challenges,
rethinking practices for the preparation of professionals and assessing the importance of the
competences being developed. The need for critical thinking is obvious in the labor market [4].

Abstract:
The article is devoted to studying the relationship between the communicative
properties of the manager personality and managerial decision-making styles. This problem is
essential and relevant since the communicative properties of the manager's personality are
rarely considered. Research has shown that most managers have developed communicative
qualities and constructive decision-making styles. As a result of the correlation analysis of the
data, significant correlations were revealed between hyperactivity as a decision-making style
and indicators of self-control in communication (positive relationship) and indicators of
organisational skills (negative relationship). Factor analysis of the data obtained showed that
