Studying High School Students Technical Thinking

This study aims at evaluating to what extend the technical thinking of secondary school students evolving, analyzing some factors of students learning. Out of 37, 207 high school students in the 2015-2016 academic year, 9.4 % or 3, 395 students participated in this study. The results showed mid-levels of technical competence among these students. The first assumption to prove was the reliability of the Bennetts methods in studying the technical competence of students approved. The second assumption is the importance of teaching methods and forms of learning in the development of technical thinking of students. The results of the study confirmed reliability of the Bennetts methods in assessing technical thinking of students. However, performance of static tasks was very low, there were no differences between learning in both ordinary and advanced groups, which indicate a need for substantial review of teaching methods and curriculum for advanced classes.
