Abstract

The context of the issue and the purpose of the study. In this paper, we discuss the organization of competence-based education, where the development of students' critical thinking skills is fundamental. What is critical thinking? Students, educators, pedagogues, and psychologists are all concerned about this issue. One of the most crucial skills for 21st century learners and professionals is critical thinking. The article discusses diverse and disparate theoretical views on the nature and definition of critical thinking. We attempted to arrange them. The most precisely articulated critical thinking traits, in our opinion, were selected out in the context of the study of those techniques (Klooster D., 2001). We attempted to explore these critical thinking traits in the context of the "Chess" in our study. Our purpose is to expose the potential of the topic "Chess" from the standpoint of improving students' critical thinking. The article also examines how a teacher should structure the teaching and learning process in order to create a community of critical thinkers.
