Özet:

 


The need for qualified managers and
teachers who will improve and give importance to critical thinking skills and
accept these skills as a philosophy of life in educational institutions has
increased recently. It is unexpectable that managers and teachers who do not
improve themselves in terms of critical thinking skills such as analytical
thinking, questioning, research, synthesis, analysis and evaluation can
contribute to institutions or students. These skills may influence the whole
life of students. In this regard, the research purposed to examine how much
school administrators and teachers give importance to critical thinking skills
in their personal and professional lives. In this frame, it was also aimed at
determining whether the importance of critical thinking skills of
administrators and teachers would significantly differ in terms of age,
seniority, gender, professional seniority, branch, administrative seniority,
educational status and the number of in-service training taken variables. The
research was carried oud with a survey method. The population of research
consisted of school administrators and teachers from formal high schools in
Basaksehir, Esenyurt, Avcılar and Beylikduzu townships at the European side of
Istanbul. The data were collected through “Critical Thinking Tendency Scale
(CTTS). The results revealed that school administrators and teachers give
importance to critical thinking skills at medium level both in their
professional and personal lives. Although significant difference was found in
age, professional seniority and in-service training variables, there is no
significant difference in gender, branch and educational status variables. It
is suggested that teachers’ critical thinking skills be improved during their
pre-service education.
