The manuscrpt is devoted to the peculiarities of the process of formation of logical skills of students of pedagogical higher educational institutions within the modern educational paradigm. Logical skills give students the needed opportunity to think critically, to state the connection between thoughts and samples of the given information, to prove the truth. Also it should me mentioned the importance of the choice and implementation of the literature content which would be used for the forming of the students' logical skills within the context of the professional training. The creation of various projects, modeling problem situations for the discussions are very useful and effective. Within such condition students have opportunities to reveal their strength, to make complicated decisions and to discuss the consequences, to strengthen their own reflexive position, to analyze the results of their activity.
