The role of critical thinking and analytical skills in the study of Russian literature in universities

Abstract

In the modern educational process, the importance of critical thinking and analytical skills is actively discussed. Their formation not only contributes to the successful academic activities of students, but also improves their adaptation in a rapidly changing world. Therefore, this article is devoted to the study of the role of critical thinking and analytical skills in the study of Russian literature in higher education, especially in Russian universities. Russian literature, as part of the liberal arts education, is distinguished by the depth and complexity of content, gravitas and variety of forms, which requires students to have highly developed analytical skills and critical thinking for the successful mastering of the discipline. From this follows the main goal of our study: to investigate and evaluate the contribution of critical thinking and analytical skills to the study of Russian literature in Russian universities. We aim to contribute to the understanding of the importance of critical thinking and analytical skills in the process of studying Russian literature, which, we hope, will lead to an improvement in educational practice in Russian universities. The use of these methods in Russian universities has shown impressive results. There was an improvement in analytical skills and the ability to critically evaluate literary works in most students. Teacher support plays an important role in this process.
