Amandeep Kaur, Dr. Raj Pathania

Abstract :

 The present study was undertaken with the specific objectives (i) to find out the critical thinking skills of adolescents and (ii) to compare these skills of both male and female adolescents. The data were collected from two randomly selected blocks (Baijnath and Panchrukhi) of Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, India. A total of 120 adolescents (60 male and 60 female) in the age group of 15–18 years were selected from the three schools of each block. To collect the required data, an interview schedule, covering the dependent and independent variables was prepared. The data was analyzed statistically using frequency, percentages and t–test. The results of the study revealed that maximum respondents possessed medium level of critical thinking skills. Non–significant differences were found in critical thinking between the male and female respondents. Similarly, in all the subscales of critical thinking namely, analysis, inference, self–regulation and evaluation, non–significant differences were found among male and female respondents.
