Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between the dimensions of critical thinking and quality of life in the light of some variables (academic level, specialization). The study sample consisted of (188) female students at the College of Education, Jouf University, majoring in early childhood and Islamic studies for the academic year 1443 AH / 2021 AD. The descriptive approach, critical thinking scale and quality of life scale have been used to achieve the objectives of the study. The results revealed an average level of critical thinking and quality of life among female students at the College of Education, where the percentages were (68.23%), (71.23%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between female students of different academic levels (from the second to the eighth level) on all dimensions of the critical thinking scale and its total score. While there were statistically significant differences between female students majoring in early childhood and Islamic studies in dimensions (interpretation, evaluation of arguments, deduction) and the total score of the critical thinking scale in the direction of early childhood students. However, no statistically significant differences were detected in the other two dimensions (recognition of assumptions, inference). Also, there were no statistically significant differences between students of different academic levels on the dimensions of the quality-of-life scale. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between the dimensions of the critical thinking scale and all dimensions of the quality-of-life scale and its total score. The study recommends conducting more scientific and psychological studies that shed light on the dimensions of critical thinking and the quality of life for university students in line with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s vision of 2030.
