“…When the literature is examined, it is stated that the critical thinking levels of the students are high (Demir, 2006;Ulaş, Koçak, & Karabacak, 2012) and medium level (Akar & Kara, 2016;Korkmaz & Yeşil, 2009) in Turkey. These results are in contradiction with the research findings.…”

The aim of this study is to examine to what extent and how fourth-grade students use their critical thinking skills in real-life situations. The method of the research is instrumental case study, which is one of the qualitative approaches. Typical case sampling was used in the study and 30 fourth grade students from 11 different schools in Ankara were included in the study. Fake news and semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher were used as data collection tools. During the implementation phase, the students were shown fake news and asked whether this was true or not. Afterward, interviews were made using the Socratic inquiry method over the comments created by the researcher. Six elements of thinking developed by Paul and Elder (2013) on critical thinking approach [(a) knowledge, data and experience, b) concept, c) perspective d) assumption e) inference, f) implicit inferences and results] used. During the data analysis, the codes were reached in line with the research problems, and the themes were reached by finding common aspects between the emerging codes, that is, by collecting them under categories. In this study, the data were subjected to content analysis by two researchers independently and the consistency between researchers was calculated as 87.5%. As a result of this study, it was determined that 92% of the expressions of primary school fourth-grade students were in the weak critical thinker category.

“…Critical thinking is a fundamental basis in education for adapting to personal, social, and professional needs of the present century and beyond. Adolescents employing this cognitive strategy possess deep and clear viewpoints and exhibit higher performance in various academic dimensions, such as problem-solving (Parsakia, 2023;Ulaş et al, 2012).…”

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the model fit based on the relationship between parents' religious orientation and the tendency towards critical thinking and happiness with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in female high school students. Method: This descriptive correlational study was conducted with a population of teenage girls from public high schools in the city of Chalus. A sample of 319 participants was selected using cluster random sampling. Data collection tools included the Ricketts Critical Thinking Questionnaire (2003), the Dennis and Vander Wal Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (2010), the Allport and Ross Religious Orientation Questionnaire (1967), and the Oxford Happiness Inventory (Argyle et al., 1989). Findings: Results showed a significant positive relationship between religious orientation and critical thinking tendency (r = 0.45, p < 0.05), happiness (r = 0.41, p < 0.05), and cognitive flexibility (r = 0.68, p < 0.05). There was also a significant positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and the tendency towards critical thinking (r = 0.73, p < 0.01) and happiness (r = 0.69, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Based on the results of structural equation modeling, the model based on the relationship between parents' religious orientation and the tendency towards critical thinking and happiness with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility among students is adequately fitted. The application of promoting religious duties and training in cognitive flexibility to enhance happiness and critical thinking tendency in students could be considered in experimental studies by researchers, educational planners, and counselors.
