Abstract
The chapter incorporated the theoretical issues of assessment of metacognition and critical thinking. In today's fast-changing world, the so-called higher-order skills (such as Metacognition and Reflection, and Critical Thinking) become very important. Although they constitute one of the central goals of the university education, purposeful development of these skills is challenging and difficult. This chapter contains the main approaches to understanding the intellectual skills development process which are underlying research. Theoretical questions of intellect-metacognition are studied, definitions and contents of these notions are given, and the interconnection between metacognition and critical thinking are analysed. The analysis of intellectual skills structure and contents are given. Here, authors also analyze their research in recent years on the questions of critical thinking and a description of methods for assessing the development of critical thinking and reflective skills of students.
