Abstract: The article explores the possibilities of introducing the Open Innovation concept into educational practices. The aim of the study is to shape the Open Innovation model which will enable the improvement of critical thinking competence in students in the learning environment. The research was carried out on the basis of the Open Innovation paradigm and problem-solving approach to the critical thinking competence. The critical thinking competence framework based on the logics of problem solving (identifying the problem, representing the problem, selecting an appropriate strategy, implementing the strategy and evaluating solutions) is viewed as a complex system of interconnected functional and structural components: critical thinking dispositions, metacognitive critical thinking skills, critical thinking operational skills and reflective critical thinking skills which function for cognitive, developmental, interactive and creative purposes with reference to problem solving. Meaningful learning, active thinking-based learning, cooperative thinking, competitive learning and critical thinking challenges are the main pedagogic principles underlying the Open Innovation model in education. The Open Innovation model is an open system of problem-solving activities realized at four sequencing stages: diagnostic stage, cognitive stage, operational stage and a stage of reflection, and it is aimed at the improvement of the critical thinking competence components. The novelty of the study is associated with the conceptualization of the Open Innovation model in the educational context.
