The article is devoted to students critical thinking skills’ development. Basing on the experiment, the author formulates a definition of the "critical thinking" concept and graphically presents its semantic composition. The article examines the invariant features of critical thinking and highlights the main strategies for its formation. They include: selecting and filtering information for the tasks set, evaluating information as "true" or "false", evaluating information as "implicit" or "explicit", identifying implicit manipulation strategies, systematizing the information selected according to established criteria, indicating correct relations between the facts highlighted, performing students’ own creative product of thought, reflection and the ability to argue their position. The author comes to the conclusion that these strategies should be taken into account when planning educational tasks with students of different ages.
