Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship of learning style to critical thinking skills in the higher education students. In this study, the Kolb Learning Style Inventory is used to determine learning styles while Watson Glasser Critical Thinking Appraisal is used to measure critical thinking. The subjects of the study were 154 students, coming from the students of the class of 2017. The data were analyzed using a t-test. The result is that is there a difference in critical thinking skills between convergent and divergent learning styles, where the critical thinking skills score in the convergent group is higher than critical thinking score in the diverging group, although most students have divergent learning styles.
