Abstract
The article examines and theoretically analyzes modern technologies for the development of critical thinking of future physical culture and sports specialists in higher education institutions. Based on the analysis of a set of literary sources, it was established that the main characteristics of the critical thinking of future coaches are activity, reflexivity, logic, independence, and focus on solving real problems of physical culture and sports activities. The concept of critical thinking is interpreted as a type of thinking that is characterized by activity, purposefulness, independence, discipline and reflexivity and involves the development in the learning process of a person's ability to identify problems, analyze, synthesize, evaluate information from any sources, put forward alternatives and evaluate them, to choose a way of solving a problem or one's own position in relation to it and justify one's views, make a conscious choice and act. The main features (reflectivity, pragmatism, subjectivity) and stages (updating knowledge; awareness of knowledge, understanding (reflection) of the technology of critical thinking competence formation) are determined. In the work, the application of a set of conditions that determine the development of critical thinking of future physical culture and sports specialists is developed and argued. The article outlines the specific features of teaching the disciplines of the professional-practical cycle of training a future physical culture and sports specialist on the basis of critical thinking. It has been proven that critical thinking includes a set of operations that determine the individual's ability to analyze, compare, synthesize and evaluate information from various sources; understand the problem and assess its depth; formulate hypotheses and consider alternative solutions; make deliberate and informed decisions
