Abstract
21st-century learners live more digitally and work with a fuzzy mind. Together with this century, we deal with individuals with new and different thinking styles. The current situation affects the thinking skills of high school students during a critical period such as adolescence. This effect forces us to ask the question. Is there a relationship between high school students' critical thinking dispositions and reflective thinking skills? Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between high school students' critical thinking dispositions and reflective thinking skills in terms of some demographic variables. This study, which was designed in a descriptive survey model, was conducted with 388 participants in a high school in the Kartal district of Istanbul in 2019/2020 academic year. In research, personal information form, California critical thinking dispositions inventory and reflective thinking level scale was used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analysed by the SPSS program and then analysed and interpreted the results. The analysis of the data was used Spearman correlation coefficient, point biserial correlation, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H Test. According to the findings, there is a positive and intermediate relationship between critical thinking dispositions and reflective thinking skills. In addition to this, critical thinking dispositions differ in terms of field, reading frequency, web usage purpose and academic level perception of the participants. Reflective thinking skills differ in terms of field, gender, reading frequency, web usage purpose and academic level perception of the participants.
