PRACTICAL-TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING IN THE COGNITIVE PROCESS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

In today's world where we keep getting hit with different kinds of information in various platforms, it is not unusual to keep finding ourselves thinking more and more about how to pick out accurate information from a sea of non-fact-based information or bias opinions. There are many patterns in our living habits which should be re-evaluated, changed, or leave in the past entirely. It is easier said than done. For human nature, change seems scary. The uncertainty of not knowing the outcome makes us want to stick with old habits. Here lays one of the reasons for difficulties in seeing the flaws in our doings and changing our behavior. This would mean a change needs to happen. With all more reason, we must pay attention to our critical thinking skills. If we all were efficient critical thinkers, we would have the skill to evaluate our learned daily patterns or information given to us. Thinking critically, we are able to get to clearer fact-based conclusions on what we believe and make connection to where our values lay. Mastering a skill to think and evaluate information is not the only thing needed for us to change our ways, but it sure is an efficient way to start. According to the results of the conducted scientific theoretical analyses, the possibilities, importance and scientific methodological foundations of developing critical thinking in the cognitive process of preschool children have not been fully revealed. This, in turn, indicates the relevance of researching the methodology for developing critical thinking in the cognitive process of preschool children.
