The development of thinking in the educational process is of great importance in increasing the intellectual potential of the student, forming the skills of finding independent solutions, and developing a conscious attitude to educational activities. The process of developing thinking is formed under the influence of many pedagogical factors. These include the organization of the learning environment, the teacher's methodological approach, the use of interactive and innovative tools, game and project technologies, the use of problem situations, and tasks that increase student activity. In modern education, much attention is paid to the development of analytical, logical, critical, and creative types of thinking. The principles of education — consistency, systematicity, activity orientation, differentiation and a person-centered approach — constitute the methodological basis for the development of thinking. This topic covers the factors that form the ability to think in the educational process, modern pedagogical technologies and the principles of their effective application. This research offers practical recommendations for educators on developing the thinking culture of students.
