Abstract

Access to information in today’s world is unprecedentedly easy thanks to the Internet and social media. However, this also creates information overload and the threat of disinformation. Critical thinking is becoming a key skill for sifting reliable information from fakes and manipulations, which makes this topic relevant. The research aims to determine the role of critical thinking in ensuring the information security of the population in the modern world. The study used the methods of analysis, systematisation, synthesis, and generalisation. The study confirmed that critical thinking is an important factor in the field of information security of the population, and also examined the main aspects of critical thinking and its components, including analysis of information sources, fact-checking, contextual understanding, bias research, formulation of critical questions and self-assessment. The study also thoroughly analyses the key aspects of critical thinking skills and considers the concept of Team-Based Learning (TBL), which is an active approach to education aimed at stimulating students’ critical thinking and engaging them in an active learning process. The results of the study highlight the peculiarities and importance of developing critical thinking skills in the Ukrainian population, especially in the context of the ongoing war with Russia, as the war manifests itself not only on the military front but also in the information space, and therefore the development of critical thinking becomes an important element in protecting national interests and information security. The results of the study can be used by researchers to develop specific recommendations and strategies to increase the level of critical thinking among the population and improve information security.
批判性思维是现代世界的信息安全要素
得益于互联网和社交媒体,当今世界的信息获取空前便捷。然而,这也造成了信息过载和虚假信息的威胁。批判性思维正成为从虚假和操纵信息中筛选可靠信息的关键技能,因此本课题具有现实意义。本研究旨在确定批判性思维在确保现代世界民众信息安全方面的作用。研究采用了分析、系统化、综合和概括的方法。研究证实,批判性思维是人口信息安全领域的一个重要因素,还研究了批判性思维的主要方面及其组成部分,包括分析信息来源、事实核查、背景理解、偏见研究、提出批判性问题和自我评估。研究还深入分析了批判性思维能力的主要方面,并考虑了团队学习(TBL)的概念,这是一种积极的教育方法,旨在激发学生的批判性思维,让他们参与到积极的学习过程中。研究结果凸显了培养乌克兰人批判性思维能力的特殊性和重要性,尤其是在与俄罗斯持续战争的背景下,因为战争不仅表现在军事领域,也表现在信息领域,因此培养批判性思维成为保护国家利益和信息安全的重要因素。研究人员可利用研究结果制定具体的建议和战略,以提高民众的批判性思维水平,改善信息安全状况。
