Özet:

The aim of this study is to study the relationship between high school students’ critical thinking trends and academic self-sufficiency in terms of various variables. Relative scan of quantum research patterns was used in the study. The work group consists of 678 students studying in the official secondary school in the Afyonkarahisar province center in the 2019-2020 educational year and selected through simple non-selective sampling. The data collection tool was used by Ertaş Kılıç and Shen (2014) as the "Critical Thought Trend Scale" and the "Academic Self-Competence Scale" as developed by Ekici (2012). The research finds that high school students’ critical thinking tendencies differ significantly in class level and their academic self-sufficiency in both gender and class level. It has also been determined that high school students’ class level, mother education status, father education status and family income level variables significantly affect the relationship between these two facts.
