- Abstract
In recent years, an issue of formation of the so-called critical thinking in the youth has become very popular in the educational environment. Not only students of colleges and universities study it, but also students from high, middle and even elementary schools. More than that, in the scientific community there is still no common understanding of what critical thinking actually is - this is a special type of consciousness, an intellectual ability and a special skill. This article attempts to determine the underlying semantic meaning of the term critical thinking and its adequacy in relation to the youth audience. In the work with students and schoolchildren the author suggests using the concept of critical attitude to information that is a basic level of critical thinking. This article describes a method of creating a networking, social project based on wiki-technologies as one of the effective means of forming the students critical attitude to information.
