Abstract
The purpose of this study was to collect data from the controlled experiment that would add to the existing information concerning the improvement of the critical thinking skills of ninth grade pupils. The specific purposes of the study were: (1) to determine whether planned instruction in fact and opinion differentiation makes a statistically significant difference in a ninth-grader's general critical thinking ability; and (2) to determine the relation between a ninth-grader's gain in critical thinking ability and his level of intelligence, reading ability, socio-economic status, and his sex.
