A total of 650 students; 169 of them biology major, 167 of them physics major, 145 of them chemistry major, and 169 of them mathematics major participated to the study. Students‟ scores highest on Analyticity subscale. Independent t-test results showed that there is a significant difference in some subscales of students‟ regards to gender critical thinking disposition. LSD results showed that seniors‟ scores are significantly higher than the freshman‟s on the Self-confidence subscale scores.
