Abstract
Aim. To consider the possibilities of combinatorial problems in the computer science course for the development of critical thinking of high school students.
Methods. Analysis of pedagogical literature, textbooks on computer science, conversation, observation, analysis of pedagogical experience.
Result. It is shown that in the course of solving combinatorial problems in various ways, students improve such mental operations as analysis, generalization, comparison, reflection, which contributes to the development of critical thinking. The task from the materials of the Unified State Exam test material in computer science is taken as a basis.
Conclusion. The solution of combinatorial problems is accompanied by logic in reasoning and variability of solutions, which effectively develops critical thinking.
