摘要
This survey aimed at measuring students' critical thinking dispositions in humanities fields. 123 students were randomly selected by stratified sampling method among undergraduate students in the College of Humanities in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran during academic year of 2010-2011. They completed Ricketts'(2003) Critical Thinking Disposition Questionnaire. Overly, finding showed that all subjects achieved optimal level of critical thinking in the moderated level (p<0.001, t=17.56), but not in the strict level (p<0.001, t=-9.20). Implications for applying active learning and problem solving approaches to enhance students' critical thinking propositions were proposed. (c) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
