THE ISSUE OF DIRECTING STUDENTS TOWARDS LOGICAL THINKING IN EDUCATION

Abstract

The article discusses the importance, methods, and history of guiding students towards logical thinking in the educational process. It explores the relationship between logical thinking and other forms of thinking, examining their differences and common aspects. The article points out that among various types of thinking, independent thinking has been studied more extensively, and research in this area provides insights that can be applied to directing students towards logical thinking. Like all types of thinking, logical thinking relies on information obtained from the external world or internal experience, involving cognitive processes such as perception, concentration, memory retention, and information processing. It is goal-oriented, aimed at problem-solving and achieving specific objectives. Logical thinking can be learned, developed, and improved through education. The article considers the application of logical thinking in literary education, particularly in determining the true essence of texts and justifying conclusions.
