Description

A paired set of Likert-type instruments comprising the Ricketts and Rudd Critical Thinking Disposition Scale, adapted into Turkish by Demircioglu, and the Cetin, Ilhan, and Arslan Philosophy Preference Assessment Scale, used to measure critical-thinking dispositions and traditional versus contemporary educational-philosophy preferences.

Components

  • Critical Thinking Disposition Scale and Philosophy Preference Assessment Scale as paired measurement instruments: The study deploys two Likert-type instruments: the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (Ricketts & Rudd, Turkish adaptation by Demircioglu) with Cognitive Maturity, Innovation and Engagement subscales, and the Philosophy Preference Assessment Scale (Cetin, Ilhan and Arslan) measuring traditional versus contemporary philosophy preference. In this sample, "Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale and Philosophy Preference Assessment Scale were determined to be .87 and .80, respectively." The CTDS ranges from 25 to 125 and the PPAS from 39 to 195. (Aybek et al. (2017))
