Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the pedagogical foundations of the development of students' skills in analyzing, comparing and generalizing knowledge. In the modern educational process, these skills are an important factor in the formation of independent thinking, logical approach and creative activity of students. The study highlights teaching methods, interactive technologies and innovative approaches to organizing the educational process that serve to develop analytical thinking. It also analyzes the pedagogical conditions that form the ability of students to deeply understand theoretical knowledge and see logical connections between different information through comparison and generalization practices. The work substantiates the role of the teacher in management, factors for increasing learning motivation and the importance of a reflective approach. As a result, effective mechanisms for developing high-level cognitive activity in students are scientifically substantiated.
