| description | This paper conducted a study to measure the Critical Thinking Skills of undergraduate students at
Universiti Putra Malaysia based on a pilot study involving 433 students randomly selected. The
main purpose of this paper is to describe the process in determining the suitability of all the items
in the CTS instrument which would be used in the actual study. Four factors of the CTS (Analysis,
Evaluation, Deduction and Induction) were tested for their validity and reliability. The CTS
knowledge test comprised of 22 multiple-choice questions with two alternatives. All the four factors
in the instrument were adapted from (Goel et al., 1997), (Choi et al., 2007), (Stanovich and West,
1997). Results from the pilot study have shown that the items to measure CTS have good
discriminating quality, validity and reliability |
