Developing Critical and Logical Thinking in Pécs
Last year, we placed a strong emphasis on developing the critical thinking skills of the Pécs groups through a text comprehension project. This academic year, in addition to critical thinking, we aim to consciously promote the development of logical thinking to support students’ success in school. Enhancing logical thinking is of paramount importance as it makes everyday problem-solving more effective. Critical thinking also stems from the development of logical skills, as it helps us objectively evaluate others’ arguments and form well-founded opinions. Our volunteer, Balogh Ádám, began the development in grade-based groups during the weekend development session (October 12). We are confident that the knowledge and skills acquired during the project sessions will be integrated into the daily lives of the participants in the long term.

Here’s what we saw…
“I was really happy to meet Ádám again after the summer camp. He bombarded us with interesting tasks. I particularly enjoyed the word puzzle tasks.”
Hanna Tóth, Pécs Group 3
“During this morning, we solved interesting tasks with Ádám. The most exciting for me was shaping triangular figures, which encouraged all of us to be creative.”
Bálint Radics, Pécs Group 3
“Today, I was once again confirmed that it’s important to examine everything from multiple perspectives. I got closer to the topic of logic, and we thought a lot about each problem presented.”
Lázár Fülöp, Pécs Group 3
“In one task, we created squares from colorful mosaic pieces. At one point, we managed to solve the task with four and five mosaic pieces. Ádám surprised us with a multitude of interesting tasks. I’m excited about the meeting in November.”
