Questions have long been used by teachers and tutors as an instructional tool to assess students’ knowledge, improve understanding, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-thought questions lead to new ideas, spark discussion, and promote comprehensive learning about a subject. Poorly designed questions can lower performance, create confusion, intimidate students, and limit creative thinking. Teachers tend to ask lower-order convergent questions, which are based on students’ actual recall of prior knowledge, but do not ask higher-order divergent questions, which promote deep thinking and require students to analyze and evaluate concepts. The article summarizes the taxonomy (that is, the teaching of the principles and practice of classifying and systematizing complex, hierarchically related entities) of questions, suggests strategies for formulating effective questions, and explores practical considerations for increasing student engagement and developing critical thinking. Similar concepts can be applied in the classroom and in experiential learning environments. Relationship between development of critical thinking skills and targeted application of effective questioning methods in educational organizations is examined. Having carefully studied various forms of training and their obvious impact on students’ ability to think critically, we have summarized the experience of composing questions that play a significant role in the development of analytical and evaluative cognitive abilities. The study delves into the complex elements of question formulation, including factors such as complexity, relevance, and relevance to a particular situation.

The relevance of the study is due to the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards to information technology skills of educational process participants, changing the strategy of personnel training for high-tech industries, which allows to increase the level of professional competence while getting higher education. The aim of the study is substantiating and testing the innovative approach to teaching major courses in training the professional personnel for the oil and gas industry in the context of digitalization of economy. The peculiarity of the suggested approach is activating practice-oriented training based on using the possibility of digitalizing some components of industrial processes in the university educational process. The example given in the article includes simulating a real industry-specific task, aimed at teaching students as specialists possessing tools for checking hypotheses in the operation of a chemical and technological system, knowing peculiarities of data processing in the oil and gas industry. The suggested approach enriches the traditional methods of teaching by using modern information technologies and advantages of the virtual approach in simulating real industrial processes.

When conducting a pedagogical experiment on the formation of a scientific worldview among foreign cadets studying at military universities in Russia, there was an urgent need to conduct control measures at one of its intermediate stages in order to establish the effectiveness of the methodology used.
