Abstract

In the context of the rapid development of information and communication technologies
(ICT), the importance of digital tools in the educational process is significantly increasing. The
present study is aimed at studying the impact of digital tools on the development of critical thinking
in students. The research methodology includes the use of structural modeling (SEM) to analyze
data collected through an online survey among 200 students from various educational institutions.
The main results of the study show that digital tools contribute to the development of
critical thinking by providing students with access to a variety of educational resources and
stimulating analytical thinking. An important role in this process is played by the integration of
digital technologies into curricula and the active participation of teachers who guide and support
students in using digital tools.
The findings of the study emphasize the need for further introduction of digital technologies
into the educational process to increase the level of critical thinking among students. It is also noted
the importance of developing methodologies and practices focused on the effective use of digital tools
in educational activities. This study makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of
digital technologies in education and their potential in developing key cognitive skills in students.
