This research paper reports an experimental study geared to examine the effect of teaching reasoning fallacies on the critical thinking ability of a group of Moroccan university students. In a random assignment post-test design, 40 subjects took part in study-treatment.  While the subjects in both experimental groups (n 20) received a treatment on how to avoid and spot fallacies in arguments, the control group was involved straightway in taking the pre-test and the post test (with no prior assistance) for comparison purposes. After the treatment -which consisted in having the experimental group (n 20 subjects) receive a training on the meaning of 15 reasoning fallacies and reinforcements tasks on how to identify them in statements and how to avoid them when they speak or write - all the subjects answered a twenty item  multiple-choicetest and 5 of them responded to structured interview to identify their attitudes.  The final scores were then subjected to descriptive as well as referential statistics (independent and paired samples T-test) for between group comparison purposes. The results reveal a significant facilitative and positive effect of reasoning fallacies training understudy and particularly so when compared to the control condition. A follow-up investigation through an independent samplest-test) attested to the fact that the training resulted in an increased critical thinking ability as measured by the receptive and productive and this is particularly so when compared to the control condition. The study concludes with the main finding together with their interpretation. Some practical implications related to critical thinking instruction, lesson planning and material development, in general, brings the paper full circled.

The high increase of electronic media supported by internet resulted in accessing all information easily. Concurrently, the requirement of thinking critically intrigued all parties to be involved in the internet environment. This research aimed at investigating whether or not there were significant mean differences of critical thinking ability in writing exposition text between students who were taught by using E-writing method and those who were given traditional method of writing. The study employed quantitative paradigm design with the type of quasi experimental and involved students which was selected purposively and formed into experimental group and control group. The primary data was the result of pre-test and post-test in the form of essays which were scored by the Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (HTCR) developed by Facione & Facione (2011). Based on the result of pre-test and post-test, NGain was analyzed through Man Whitney test to find out the significant mean different of students’ critical thinking ability. After being analyzed by using SPSS 23, the Mann Whitney test came up with the accepted hypotheses i.e., there were significant mean differences of critical thinking ability between experiment group and control group, with mean of NGain score for experimental group was higher than control group had. The statistical output of Mann Whitney test obtained implied that students’ critical thinking ability were influenced by E-writing method. The result of the study convinced that E-writing contributed greater improvement in students’ critical thinking ability than the traditional method did. The finding of present study provided evidence for the effectiveness of E-writing in increasing the students’ ability in thinking critically in writing exposition text.

This study aims to determine the effect of learning cycle model 7E on critical thinking skills of students of SMAN 1 Gerung. The research type is quasi experimental with post-test only control group design. Population is all class X MIPA SMAN 1 Gerung, with sampling technique using purposive sampling and obtained class X MIPA 3 as experiment class and class X MIPA 4 as control class. Data collection of critical thinking ability using the test technique in the form of a description of 5 questions that have been validated and reliable. Based on the result of research, it is found that the average post-test of critical thinking ability of experimental class is 66,02 and control class is 52,80. The obtained data were first tested for normality and homogeneity. Both classes were normally distributed and homogeneous, followed by hypothesis testing using statistical test (t-test polled variance). Test the hypothesis of critical thinking ability obtained t count value of 4,0928 and t table of 1.99656 at a significant level of 0.05, because t count is greater than t table, then H0 rejected and Ha accepted. The conclusion of this research is there is influence of learning cycle model 7E to critical thinking ability of students of SMAN 1 Gerung.

This study was aimed to find out the effectiveness of cooperative script learning model with handout towards the students’ critical thinking ability. The design of the study was quasi experiment in the form of nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. This study was conducted in SMA N 1 Gubug on 1st -22th August 2015 with the population of an entire class of X classes in SMA N 1 Gubug. The sample of the study consisted of two classes taken with cluster random sampling technique that was class X-F as experimental class and the class X-G as the control class. The data collecting technique were test and documentation.Based on the data analysis, it was obtained the means of the pretest score of experimental class was 44,77 and the control class was 33,33. Meanwhile, the students’ average score of post-test in experimental class was 80,40 and the control class was 73,70. Based on the pre-test and post-test result from those classes, it showed that there was a significant effect between students’ independence and students’ outcome in experimental class compared with control class. The hypothesis testing used significant level 5% was obtained tcount = 2,83 dan ttable = 1,67.

Higher Order Questions

Abstract The current emphasis on questioning techniques has inspired many EFL teachers to explore the impact of applying different pedagogical teaching strategies on the enhancement of thinking skills. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the influence of using higher order questioning technique on the listening comprehension achievement and critical thinking ability of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To reach this end, 40 participants in 4 intact classes in Kish Air Language institute in Mashhad were selected and divided in two groups to be assigned into experimental and control group. The experimental group received higher order questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy classification for 12 sessions. A pretest and a posttest of English listening comprehension test of TOEFL (TOEFL PBT) and California Critical Thinking Skill Test (CCTST) were administrated in both groups. 2 Independent sample t-tests were utilized to examine the data. Sample t-tests were run to compare the experimental and the control group means on the pretest and posttest of listening comprehension and critical thinking tests. The results surmised that there was a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores regarding listening comprehension and critical thinking in the experimental group. The results imply that using higher order questions as an instructional technique can enhance learners’ listening comprehension achievement and critical thinking ability.

The purpose of this study was to describe the role of scientific approach on students’ mathematical critical thinking and resiliency. This study wass a pre test-post test experimental control group design and involves 66 seventh grade students as sample. Data collection was conducted by a mathematical critical thinking test, a mathematical resiliency questionnaire, and a perception on scientific approach questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential analysis. The study found that on mathematical critical thinking ability, students getting treatment by scientific approach attained better than students taught by conventional teaching, but both groups were still at low level.  On mathematical resiliency,  there was no different between students on both teaching approaches, and those groups were at medium level.  The other findings, there was no association between mathematical critical  thinking  ability and mathematical resiliency, and students performed high perception toward scientific approach.
