Özet

Critical thinking has received increasing attention as an educational goal. Critical thinking refers to the use of cognitive skills or strategies that increase the probability of a desirable outcome (Halpern,1999). The desire or inclination to use critical thinking is reflected in a number of personal attributes, known as critical thinking dispositions (Jin, G., Bierma, T. J., Broadbear, J.T., 2004). This paper explores the critical thinking disposition of freshman and senior students from the Faculty of Educational Sciences of Ankara University.
