The purpose of this research is to determine the psychometric properties of the Critical Thinking Scale inEveryday Life and to contribute to the field with a tool that can make valid and reliable measurements in this regard. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study group of the research consists of 425 students aged between 14-19. Within thescope of the research, data were collected from two different groups. Exploratory factor analysis was performed with the dataobtained from the first group, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the data obtained from the second group.Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were calculated for the scale and its sub-dimensions using both data sets.Findings: Findings obtained revealed that it is a measurement tool that makes measurements with high reliability and validityand thus this scale can be used to determine the critical thinking skills in young people aged between 14-19 everyday life inTurkey. Highlights: In line with the findings obtained from research in which this scale was used, educational studies can be planned todevelop students' critical thinking skills.en_US
