The researcher looked into the respondent’s perception of critical thinking skills in terms of online interactive games as a tool using descriptive and comparative design for an in-depth analysis.
The researcher adopted the Assessment of the High School Students’ Critical Thinking Skills by Okan Sarigoz (2012) for the second part the respondent’s questionnaire. The author of the questionnaire is a professor at Hakkari University, Faculty of Education, Hakkari, Turkey.
The study also revealed that majority of the students were online gamers and it was found out that online and non-online gamers have a significant difference in their critical thinking skills. The result of the study was similar to the study of Sarigoz (2012) where online gamers implies higher level of critical thinking compared to non-online gamer.
