التفكير التحليلي وعلاقته باتخاذ القرار لدى طلبة كلية التربية بجامعة تعز- فرع التربة في اليمن

Abstract

   The present study aims to investigate the level of analytical thinking and its relation to the ability of students at the Faculty of Education, Taiz University, Turba to make decisions. Two scales were used, namely an analytical thinking scale and a decision-making scale. The former, in its final form, consists of (20) items. The latter, on the other hand, includes (25) items that cover five main skills. The validity and reliability of the two scales were verified. A Stratified random sample was used in the study. It consisted of (340) male and female students from the first and fourth levels of the following departments: Quran Sciences, Arabic, English, mathematics, and physics. The results showed a high level of improvements in analytical thinking and decision-making capabilities of the members of the sample. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the level of analytical thinking and the level of decision-making competence at α=0.05 due to the gender variable or the level of study variable. However, the results showed that there were statistical differences at α=0.05 due to the specialization variable in favour of the Department of Quran Sciences. The results also showed a strong and positive relationship between the level of analytical thinking of the members of the sample and their decision-making capabilities. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations and proposals were given.
