TEXTUAL ACTIVITY AS A BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING

Abstract

The article analyzes the concepts of “text”, “text activity”, “critical thinking”. Their interpretations from the point of view of linguistics, pedagogy, psychology and methods of teaching the Russian language are presented. Textual activity is considered as a set of actions based on knowledge, skills and abilities that allow both to create texts independently and to interpret. The authors analyze the main provisions of the technology of developing critical thinking through reading and writing. The authors’ strategy for the development of this technology “Glasses-a critical look” is presented. As a result of the study, it is determined that the development of critical thinking in the process of learning the Russian language should become an obligatory component of learning, as it contributes to a deeper immersion in text / text activity, and through them into the subject/topic and the formation of basic life values among students.
