A Small-scale Investigation Of Critical Thinking Dispositions: The Case Of Second Year Foreign Languages Students At Rachid Ridha Al-achouri High School, Biskra



Authors : Hebiret Sara . Bacher Ahmed .

Abstract

Critical thinking dispositions play a major role in the teaching and the learning processes of the thinking skills. In fact, critical thinking is viewed as "both a systemic inquiry and a mental attitude, a complex set of abilities and a process of dealing with ideas" (Cromwell, 1992, p. 39). EFL students ability to analyze or evaluate information, rules, or facts depends largely on their emotional readiness to be critical. If they choose not to exercise their thinking abilities, or they have not acquired the good thinking habits, those students may not be able to use the thinking skills. This would impede the development of critical thinking abilities in the EFL classrooms. The present questionnaire is designed for second year EFL students studying at Rachid Ridha El-Achouri High School in the Willaya of Biskra try to identify their critical thinking dispositions according to the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI) model advocated by Facione (1990). The CCTDI includes analycity, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness, self-confidence, truth-seeking, and systematicity thinking dispositions.
