The article discusses the software setting implemented in the education system of the campus course “Logic and Critical Thinking”. It shows the unsatisfactory nature of the traditional information educational model, focused on the transfer of knowledge of a reproductive nature. Innovative research education is impossible without critical thinking. The attention is focused on the fact that critical thinking is not formed by itself, it is necessary to develop a strategy for its development. The key setting of the campus course is analyzed, whose goal is to form effective, rational thinking. The art of thinking can be critically taught and therefore the campus course studies language as a means of cognition, concept, statement, deductive and believable conclusions, logical and epistemic aspects of argumentation. Special attention is paid to the study of creative thinking - the theory of solving inventive problems. It is concluded that the campus course “Logic and Critical Thinking” contributes to the development of creative abilities of students, it serves the idea of preparing an independently and critically thinking specialist.
