As a data collection tool, The California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI-R) which was developed by Facione, Facione and Giancarlo (1998) and translated into Turkish by Kökdemir (2003) was used. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the latest scale which has six dimensions and 51 items was calculated as .88. The scale was prepared as ten-point likert scale. In this study, the data gathered through the CCTDI-R was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 15. According to the findings, dispositions toward critical thinking of pre-service elementary science teachers are generally above medium-level (60%).
