Abstract: In modern conditions of ongoing digitalization of education, practical skills of critical thinking are more relevant than ever. Skills of searching and selection of information, analysis and synthesis are necessary part of children's socialization and social integration. Aims: To describe the mechanism of development of critical thinking, based on philosophical instruments used in "In search of wisdom" (1216-year-old children) in the Department of Philosophy, MSU; to teach working with concepts, making definitions, protecting ideas in discussion with other people, searching for weak and strong arguments, basing on principals of logic and debate context. The research is based on data that was collected during the online course in 2021-2022. The teacher becomes a moderator who, through the audience's questions, manages the discussion and draws attention to positions and opinions that can have the most influence on debate's quality and conclusion. The essential opinion exchange is made by students. Use of philosophical instruments during lessons not only corresponds to competence-based approach which focuses on using theory in practical tasks, but also applies pure practice so that it becomes a research experiment in itself. Such teamwork among students has a great innovative capability because of the absence of pressure from the teacher's authority. Self-correction, which takes place during discussion with opinion exchange and cross impact, is an important skill that students develop. They learn to understand that errors are possible and how to find, analyze and correct them. Our research shows that using philosophical instruments has a positive influence on the development of critical thinking skills and contributes to fuller and deeper self-understanding and understanding of the world. Using an online platform allows everybody to be more active during debates.
