ABSTRACT

Critical thinking is an enhanced ability that can help people when it comes to problem
solving and decision-making. It will also help you examine the context, come up with a practical
solution. Process question, also known as a divergent question, demands that the reply consider
the issue carefully before providing an answer. If you want to get someone's perspective, you
might use these kinds of inquiries. This study tests the level of critical thinking of the Senior
High School students through process question and how process question affects the critical
thinking of the respondents. The researcher assumed that the level of critical thinking and the
effect of the process question to the critical thinking of the respondents may vary; the
respondents are selected through a purposive sampling design and assigned to answer questions
that will test their critical thinking. The statistical tool that the researchers use is the mean. The
mean of Grade 11 students is 3.15625, which is interpreted as satisfactory, and the mean of
Grade 12 students is 3.09375, which is interpreted as satisfactory. The overall mean is 3.125,
which is satisfactory. Therefore, the level of critical thinking of the respondents is satisfactory,
and the effect of the process question to the critical thinking of the Senior High School is that it
operates the critical thinking of the respondents. The researchers recommended that teachers
should enrich the critical thinking skills of the students and improve low scores in critical
thinking, also teachers should incorporate questions that can help enable their critical thinking
like process questions, and lastly the output will be distributed to the teachers where they can
utilize to help the critical thinking of the students.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

According to David Hitchcock, being able to think critically is a common educational


objective. Its definition is under dispute, but the conflicting definitions can be viewed as various
interpretations of the same fundamental idea: through consideration focused on a purpose.
Concepts vary in terms of the range of such thinking, the type of purpose, the standard and
guidelines for thorough thought, and the aspects of thinking that they emphasize 1.

Critical comes from the Greek word “kritikos” meaning “able to judge or distinguish". It
is the process of interpreting and analyzing facts and opinion about what you’ve read, say, or
write. Critical thinking is an enhanced ability that can help people when it comes to problem
solving and decision-making. It will also help you to examine the context, come up with a
practical solution. Critical thinking will motivate you to investigate and improves your reasoning
over your emotional reaction. It will avoid being biased by looking at the two sides of a situation
and provide solution. Some people who have this ability has a sense of leadership. It affects the
way they see and react to a certain problem 2.

Clarity, excellent reason, depth and fairness can be an intellectual idea when you think
critically. Critical thinking not only focuses on the other people in fact, this has an advantage to
us as well. It can help us think and analyze as a situation before making any decision. It will help
us become well informed at any given issues.

This kind of thinking is obviously essential in every subject that requires adequate
thinking. Students can apply critical thinking to examine character, topics, language,
comprehend the author’s point of view, and then come to a conclusion based on their learning.
Nevertheless, this ability goes beyond just doing well in school.

1
Critical thinking is the skill of thinking in a manner that is intellectually disciplined. They
evaluate thinking, assess thinking, and develop thinking (Paul, 2005). Good critical thinkers will
first examine the reasons for someone else’s viewpoint, assess the validity and trustworthiness of
the evidence, and then utilize that information to guide their own conclusions. This indicates that
when students encounter difficult circumstances and adversity, they have the resources necessary
to overcome them 3.

In addition to the aforementioned benefits, this vital ability enhances relationship fosters
creativity, promotes mental health, and so on. Practically, every element of students’ life requires
them to have strong critical thinking ability.

Background of the Study

Getting knowledge is a fundamental human activity that we utilize to learn, solve issues,
facilitate decision-making, and better understand one another. It’s important to ask the right
questions at school so that you can gain the information that will be most applicable and
beneficial to you. Questioning is important because it can encourage action, increase students’
capacity for thought, propel them toward the development of coherent concepts, and stimulate
learning. It’s another way educators support students in more successfully acquiring knowledge.

Process questions, also referred to as divergent questions, demand that the reply consider
the issue carefully before providing an answer. If you want to get someone’s perspective on a
certain subject, you might use these kinds of inquiries. To discover more about a person’s
experience and opinions, journalist and interviews frequently employ these asking strategies. The
purpose of process question is to assess the breath of your knowledge on a topic and your
capacity to understand how the numerous processes that make up a system interacted to form the
total

2
Questions are essential whether they are assisting learners in developing fundamental
abilities, a grasp of how to solve problems, or engaging in higher order thinking activity like
evaluation. Of course, question may be asked by students as well as teachers; they are essential
tools for both teaching and learning. Techniques for assisting students in enhancing their own
capacity to pose and formulate questions can be learned. Raising questions and recognizing the
proper questions to ask is an important learning ability that students need to be taught.
Questioning is effective when it allows students to engage with the learning process by actively
composing responses (Muijs and Reynolds, 2001; Wragg and Brown, 2001). The learning of
basic skills is enhanced by frequent questions that provides opportunities for students to
consolidate what they have learned and that allows teachers to check their understanding 4.

This study aims to determine the effect of process questions to the critical thinking of the
selected Senior High School students in Rosary School Inc.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual paradigm that was presented below was based on the study which shows
the IPO format: Input, Process, Output.

INPUT. The main input of this study is the review of related literature, the respondents
of the study, the survey questionnaire, level of critical thinking of the respondents, and
effect of process questions to the critical thinking of the respondents.

PROCESS. The process aims to determine the effect of process question to the critical
thinking of the respondents and the respondents of our study are the selected senior high
school students.

OUTPUT. This illustrates the strategy the researchers will use to gather data that will
support their study. The researchers develop a flyer as the major product of the study to
help the critical thinking skills of the students.

Theoretical Framework

This study was anchored into two interrelated theories: Theory of Questioning (1981)
developed by August Flammer and Information Processing Theory (1981) developed by
George Miller (1956).

Theory of Questioning (1981) developed by August Flammer. This theory states that
people put information-seeking questions to people whom they think are able and willing to give
that information. Knowing everything saves asking any contingent information-seeking
questions; knowing nothing or very little makes it impossible to ask in such a way that the
potential answerer can understand what the questioner wants to know.

Information Processing Theory (1981) 6 develop by George Miller, he was the first one
to put forward the idea of the theory information processing. Information Processing Theory is
an approach wherein it seeks to explain how information is stored in memory. It is based on the
concept that people don't just react to environmental factors. Humans, on the other hand, process
the information they are given. The size and scope of human brains and their behaviors are
highly powerful as a whole, despite the fact that specialists think the brain's mechanics and
functions are relatively simple (Wang, Liu, & Wang, 2003). The hypothesis is predicated on
the assumption that rather than merely reacting to stimuli, humans process the information they
are presented with. This viewpoint compares the brain to a computer by using an analogy. In this
way, the mind works like a biological computer that analyzes data from the outside environment.

Out of insight gained from two theories: Theory of Questioning and Information
Processing Theory, the researcher’s theory which guide them in the conduct of the study is to
determine the effect of process questions to the critical thinking of the respondents.

The researcher’s theory focuses in determining the effect of process question to the
critical thinking of the senior high school students.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to know the effect of process question to the critical thinking of the
selected senior high school students. Specifically, this study aims to answer the following
questions:

1. What is the level of critical thinking of Senior High School of Rosary School Incorporated?

2. How does process question affect the critical thinking of the students?

3. What possible output could be proposed to show the effects of process questions to the critical
thinking of the selected students?

Assumptions of the Study

1. The level of critical thinking of the students may vary.

2. The effect of process questions may vary.

3. Flyer as an output to be distributed to the teachers and students.

Scope and Delimitation

The study focuses on the effect of the process questions to the critical thinking of selected
senior high school students at Rosary School, Inc. The senior high school students are the subject
of the research. The researchers selected 8 students each strand for a total of 64 students. The
study covered the period of the second semester, S/Y 2022–2023, at Rosary School Inc., Del
Rosario, Baao, Camarines Sur. The study was conducted with selected respondents from senior
high school students, who were chosen through a purposive sampling technique. The respondents
are limited to Rosary School, Inc. students enrolled during the first semester and second semester
of the school year 2022–2033. The data gathering was done through answering a different
questionnaire that measures the effect of process question to the critical thinking of selected
senior high school students of the respondent.

Significance of the Study

Students. This will gain their ability in understanding, resolving problems, and improve
the foundation for affective decision-making. They will understand the significance of being able
to think clearly and sensibly. It will also develop the critical thinking of the students.

Teachers. This will allow them to assess the students’ understanding in more depth.

School. This will provide an opportunity for teachers, administrators, and students to
implement this approach.

Researchers. This study is important to the researchers because it provides them to think
more critically in answering process questions that they may apply in their academic learning.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully conceiving, applying, analyzing,
synthesizing, and/or evaluating knowledge gained from, or generated by, observation,
experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication as a guide to belief and action (Scriven and
Paul, 1987) 1. Though definitions of critical thinking differ, they usually have qualities with
significant overlaps (Halpern, 2014; Butler, 2017). Butler (2017) incorporates a logical, goal-
oriented attempt to reach a desired objective. Other studies define critical thinking in their own
way 2. Critical thinking is a valuable resource for students who want to improve their thinking,
reading, and writing abilities (Cottrell, 2016). Stella Cottrell's Critical Thinking Skills:
Developing Effective Analysis and Argument, explains critical thinking and splits a difficult
subject into simple parts. This book helps students improve their analytical thinking skills and
apply them to a variety of tasks such as reading, taking notes, and writing by giving clear
explanations, relevant examples, and numerous exercises throughout. After reading the book,
even the most hesitant learner will become an advanced critical thinker 3. Thus, critical thinking
has a significant impact on people's minds, particularly students' minds. Students' ability to think
critically in decision-making, problem-solving, and analyzing situations can be improved. It
actually depends on whether or not the pupils are paying attention to their teachers.

One of the most perplexing critical thinking subjects is a collection of queries about what
we understand by the ideas of truth, objectivity, and subjectivity. We'll begin by quoting Bowell
and Kemp (2002): "All arguments can be seen as attempts to offer grounds for believing that
some. assertion is accurate" (p. 7), and again (p. 257): "It is essential for critical thinkers to
understand that truth is objective and not relative. The idea that critical thinking is solely about
the pursuit of an objective truth appears alien to the critical thinking framework's conceptions of
critical thinking 4.

10
Critical thinking is a powerful personal and the social tool, as well as an empowering
force in education. Critical thinking, while not the same as intelligent thinking, is a common and
self-correcting human phenomenon (Facione, 2011). The ideal critical thinker, according to
Facione, is "persistently focused on finding answers that are as precise as the subject and
circumstances of inquiry, well-informed, openminded, flexible, fair-minded in evaluation, honest
in facing personal biases, prudent in making judgments, willing to reconsider, clear about issues,
orderly in complex matters, diligent in seeking relevant information, reasonable in the selection
of criteria, and willing to reconsider" 5. To be as effective as Facione's ideal character, critical
thinking must reconsider all of the traits of a critical thinker.

Ennis (2011) stated that critical thinking captures core of the way that the term is used in
critical thinking. It is the decision of what to do or believe, it is helped by the employment of a
critical thinking and abilities that shall outline. These can serve as the basis of a great
comprehension for a critical thinking curriculum 6.

The Bloom’s Taxonomy Thinking Skills require students to broaden their knowledge,
comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, synthesis, and creative generation. It takes
students through a process of analyzing information that pushes them to understand more
information critically and brings them to take action as students 7. Critical reasoning is
categorized using Bloom's taxonomy, a long-standing cognitive framework that enables
educators to create more precise learning objectives. Benjamin Bloom, who created the pyramid
and was an American educational psychologist, describes the levels of critical thinking needed to
complete a task. Bloom's Taxonomy, which was first developed in the 1950s and revised in
2001, has provided teachers with a standard vocabulary for referring to the particular abilities
needed for competence 8.

There are certain keywords that students can employ in Bloom's Taxonomy to think
critically: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and generating. These

11
terms are used to define each level of the Bloom's taxonomy, which will help students in their
academic learning and daily lives.

Richard Paul and other philosophers who have contributed to this issue have reminded us
that critical thinking is a process of thinking to a standard. It is not enough to simply engage in
the process of critical thinking; it needs to be done appropriately in order to control the
development of our beliefs and impact our behavior or action. Critical thinking is a concept in
the concept of rationality that people use to comprehend the rationality of a situation or to
convince one's belief in a situation (Stanovich & Stanovich, 2010). According to them, a critical
thinker is someone who "has a proclivity for disregarding suboptimal responses from the
autonomous mind" (2010: 227) 9.

According to Kuhn (2019), critical thinking takes an advantage to be more logically in


terms of responding to arguments than an individual ability. The empirical scientific technique of
critical thinking is conceptualizing, interpreting, and correctly and enthusiastically evaluating
knowledge derived from or generated through experience, as a mentor’s idea, statement or
interpretation for behavior and reliance 10. When it comes to school and college education, the
students are required to have a strong critical thinking skills to be able to critically analyze the
data effectively, it is the highest peak of experience and knowledge especially the skills in
critical thinking are problem-solving, communication skills, and information skills. It is simply
methodically and purposefully analyzing facts to help you decide best and generally comprehend
things (Singh, 2022) 11.

Process Questions aims to receives the question from the user, a question that can
improve the critical thinking skills of the students, and it analyzes and classifies the questions.
The main goal is to find the type of questions that is used. To avoid ambiguity in the response,
this is required (Malik et al., 2013) 12. There are two primary steps in the question processing
process. The first step is to examine how the user's query is structured. The second step is to
change the question into a formula that is meaningful and appropriate for the field of quality
assurance (Hamed and Ab Aziz, 2016). The kind of response anticipated can also be used to
characterize a question. Process questions, also referred to as diverging inquiries, urge for the
respondent to consider the circumstances carefully before responding. These questions can be
used to find out the thoughts of the respondents. This method of asking is frequently used by

12
13
journalists and interviewers to discover more about a subject's experiences and beliefs .
Question Answering had been widely spread in this generation in different platforms for
answering questions asked by humans in the basic form of language using the collection of data (
Chali et al.,, 2011, Dwivedi and Singh, 2013, Ansari et al., 2016 Lende and Raghuwanshi, 2016).
In the academic research, question answering has emerged worldwide (Vorhees and Tice, 2000,
Wang et al., 2000) 14.

Another background about process questions is when an interviewer poses a hypothetical


circumstance to you, they are asking you a process question. They may discuss a specific issue
they have faced in the past and request your advice or strategies. Alternately, this issue can be
something they have never encountered but anticipate in the future. Instead of asking you to
solve a problem, they can ask you to suggest a plan of action to reach a specific objective
(Coburn, 2020) 15.

There is a method called the Socratic method, which was developed by Socrates. Socratic
questioning is used to enhance the knowledge of the students and apply it to their academic
learning. The pedagogy of Socratic questions is an open-ended question, meaning it’s not just
answerable by yes or no; thus, it needs an explanation from the student with their own opinion
about the topic so the idea will be more elaborated 16. This questioning technique emphasizes the
level of critical thinking; there is no single right answer. The importance of the Socratic Method
is that students need to learn through the use of critical thinking, reasoning, and logic.

The reason why the method is called Socratic method it’s because its name derives from
the conversational technique of ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, which is described in his
student Plato’s dialogues, which were published between 399 and 347 BCE. As the son of a
midwife, Socrates compares his approach to midwifery 17.

13
According to Mogato (2020), one of the important skills is being highlighted in education
is the critical thinking skills of the students 18. Students who are being able to read and write is
not limited, students need to display their comprehension on receiving information, proficiency
in the subject, and critical thinking skills to show their full academic progress. It is essential to
improve students' reading levels and give them the skills necessary for objectively analyzing and
analyzing material. To maintain the integrity of academic research, educational institutions must
help students develop the skills to evaluate the reliability of sources and edit their writing before
submission. The collective critical thinking abilities of Filipino students can be developed and
improved by utilizing digital solutions 19.

In Philippine Education, education plays an important role enhance the critical thinking
skills of the students. Most of the children in our generation has a lot of questions coming into
their mind. So, while they’re still young children need to be teach to think critically when they
begin to ask questions. It will be a great impact to the academic learning of the children when
they grow up because the critical thinking skills, they adopted helps them develop more 20.

Synthesis State of the Art

Critical thinking is a skill that helps students assess, evaluate, and develop their thinking.
It is an ability that helps people's minds when it comes to problem-solving and decision-making.
Process questions are a type of questioning technique that enables the student’s capability to
think logically and think of the best possible answer.

According to Scriven and Paul and Kuhn, critical thinking is the process of actively
and skillfully conceiving, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating knowledge gained
from observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication as a guide to belief and
action.

Stella Cottrell and Mogato stated that by writing and reading books, students can hone
their comprehension and critical thinking.

collected from the respondents and then dividing the number by the total number of scores.

The formula is: x=


∑x
n

Where: x = mean

∑ = summation symbol

x = individual scores

n = total number of scores

Mode. This was used to determine the effects of process question to the critical thinking
of the respondents. By taking the most frequently answers appearing in the data set.

Scale. This was used to determine the over-all mean.

Interpretation of the Mean

Scale Interval Verbal Description


5 5 – 5.99 Outstanding
4 4 – 4.99 Very Satisfactory
3 3 – 3.99 Satisfactory
2 2 – 2.99 Fairly Satisfactory
1 1 – 1.99 Poorly Satisfactory

CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This study aims to determine the level of critical thinking of the students. Also , this
chapter mainly focuses on the presentation of tables, data analysis, interpretation and discussion
of the data that were taken from the gathered data.

The table above shows the mean results of the Grade-11 and Grade-12 survey
questionnaires which includes 5 questions. The Grade-11 GAS strand has a mean of 3.375 which
is interpreted as satisfactory; The HUMSS strand has a mean of 2.5 which is interpreted as fairly
satisfactory; The ABM strand has a mean of 3.25 which is interpreted as satisfactory; and the
STEM strand has a mean of 3.5 which is interpreted as satisfactory.

The second table shows the mean results of Grade 12 survey questionnaires. The Grade-
12 GAS strand has a mean of 2.625 which is interpreted as fairly satisfactory; the HUMSS strand
has a mean of 3.00 which is interpreted as satisfactory; the ABM strand has a mean of 3.25
which is interpreted as satisfactory; and the STEM strand has a mean of 3.5 which is interpreted
as satisfactory. The over-all mean has 3.125 which is interpreted as satisfactory.

This implies that the majority of the student-respondents level of critical thinking is
satisfactory. The result of the survey questionnaire shows that their understanding is still
deficient and needs to be developed and improved. According to the study of Kurfiss 1, educators
must create the educational environment to foster the capacity and disposition to think critically,
and if this skill is properly enhanced, it will lead a student through the process of analysis,
evaluation, and synthesis in solving a mathematical problem.

The Effects of Process Questions to the Critical Thinking of the Respondents

The table above shows how process question affect their critical thinking and how many
students’ answers, it enables their critical thinking, it stimulates their critical thinking, or it does
not have an effect. The number of students who answered it enables their critical thinking is 35,
the number of students who answered it stimulates their critical thinking is 28, and the number of
students who answered it does not have an effect is 1. The highest frequency will be the mode
which is 35, Therefore the effects of process question to the critical thinking of senior high
school students is that it enables their critical thinking.
