DEVELOPMENT OF LOGICAL THINKING SKILLS IN TEACHING PROBABILITY THEORY [Текст]

Abstract

Logical thinking is an ability to use abstract concepts, it is thinking by reasonings and denials. The level of logical thinking affects progress in a subject therefore it is necessary to develop logic at students. The solution of logical tasks develops ability to allocate essential, to approach generalizations independently. Logical games help to cultivate cognitive interest, ability to creative search, desire and ability to study, and it helps to develop logical thinking in students. The main cogitative operations, such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, classification and ability to apply gained knowledge are formed as a result. So, students are able to define regularities and perform a task on this regularity, to classify and group objects, to compare, find general and private properties, to generalize and abstract, analyze and assess an activity; to solve logical, non-standard problems by reasonings, to be able to be guided in the schematic image of graphic tasks.
