Development of Critical Thinking in the History Teaching Process

Each teacher determines for himself what he will teach his students. It is possible to teach specific knowledge, giving the necessary information, or it is possible to go another way. Working in a school, a teacher teaches history to classes with different abilities, with different levels of readiness. And it is necessary to "reach" each child, but for this purpose it is necessary to use not only traditional methods, but also new technologies. In the modern world it is important to develop critical thinking. Therefore, we should use critical thinking techniques and technologies more often than others. In the book, I emphasize the importance of developing critical thinking in the context of history lessons. After all, history is not just dry facts and dates, but an opportunity to immerse oneself in analyzing causes and effects, evaluating different points of view and drawing one's own conclusions.
