The questionnaire contains of 40 items that saturate 6 factors – strategies for developing critical thinking in the learning process extracted by factor analysis on a sample of N = 556 students. Based on the results of the analysis, the following factors were defined: F1 Strategies for the developing self-regulation; F2 Strategies for developing systematic and interpretative skills; F3 Strategies for developing argumentation; F4 Strategies for developing conclusion and troubleshooting; F5 Strategies for developing evaluation and F6 Strategies for developing reading skills.
