Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of critical thinking interventions on student
achievement in high school science. The measurement tool was created by the Math Department
Chair at the researcher’s school. This study involved the use of a pre-assessment and post-assessment with critical thinking skills taught between the assessments. The pre-assessment and
post-assessment data were analyzed to determine student growth. The study showed that
students who attended school on a regular basis showed an increased growth in critical thinking
skills.
