DEVELOPING LOGICAL THINKING COMPETENCE IN PRIMARY EDUCATION: A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH AND PRACTICAL MECHANISMS

This article examines the development of logical thinking competence in primary education from a methodological perspective and proposes practical mechanisms for its effective implementation. In contemporary educational contexts, logical thinking is considered a foundational component of cognitive and communicative competence, particularly at the primary level where fundamental intellectual skills are formed. The study analyzes pedagogical technologies that foster analytical, comparative, generalizing, and inferential skills in young learners. Interactive teaching methods, problem-based tasks, logical exercises, graphic organizers, and reflective practices are explored as structured tools for activating students’ reasoning processes.
