The post test was carried out on the on twenty eight day for both the groups. Results revealed there was difference in critical thinking ability scores among the experimental and control group subjects (t=32.729).also there was a significant positive correlation between the pre-test scores of reflective learning ability (r =0.910) and critical thinking ability(r=0.937).
