This research was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between Critical Thinking and Information Literacy In Between Students of Tehran University, School Of Mechanical Engineering. The total number of master's students of this faculty was ۳۴۰ in the academic years of ۲۰۲۱-۲۰۲۳. Based on the simple random sampling method, the statistical population of the research is considered to be ۱۸۰ people according to Morgan's table. In this research, two standard questionnaires were used to collect data. ۱. California Critical Thinking Skills Test Form (B). ۲. Standard Information Literacy questionnaire of Davarpanah and Siamak (DAS). The collected data has been analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and Independent Samples T-Test in    software. The results of the research shows that determinant factors of Critical Thinking are Analysis, Inference, Evaluation, Inductive and Deductive. also determinant factors of Information Literacy are Identify, Find, Evaluate, Apply, Acknowledge Sources of Information. According to this research There is a positive, significant and weak relationship between   tudents' critical thinking and information literacy. There is a positive, significant and moderate relationship between the dimension of analysis in critical thinking and the dimension of identifying information needs in information literacy. There is a significant and weak positive relationship between the dimension of inference in critical thinking and the dimension of finding the required information in information literacy and There is a positive, significant and weak relationship between the dimension of evaluation in critical thinking and the dimension of acknowledge sources of information in information literacy. It is suggested to conduct such a research on university faculty members in order to determine their critical thinking and information literacy levels and to investigate their relationship with students' thinking and information literacy. Also, considering the importance of information literacy and critical thinking, it is recommended that critical thinking and information literacy training be included in the curriculum of students as an essential need in the current era.

Abstract:

This research was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between Critical Thinking and Information Literacy In Between Students of Tehran University, School Of Mechanical Engineering. The total number of master's students of this faculty was ۳۴۰ in the academic years of ۲۰۲۱-۲۰۲۳. Based on the simple random sampling method, the statistical population of the research is considered to be ۱۸۰ people according to Morgan's table. In this research, two standard questionnaires were used to collect data. ۱. California Critical Thinking Skills Test Form (B). ۲. Standard Information Literacy questionnaire of Davarpanah and Siamak (DAS). The collected data has been analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and Independent Samples T-Test in    software. The results of the research shows that determinant factors of Critical Thinking are Analysis, Inference, Evaluation, Inductive and Deductive. also determinant factors of Information Literacy are Identify, Find, Evaluate, Apply, Acknowledge Sources of Information. According to this research There is a positive, significant and weak relationship between   tudents' critical thinking and information literacy. There is a positive, significant and moderate relationship between the dimension of analysis in critical thinking and the dimension of identifying information needs in information literacy. There is a significant and weak positive relationship between the dimension of inference in critical thinking and the dimension of finding the required information in information literacy and There is a positive, significant and weak relationship between the dimension of evaluation in critical thinking and the dimension of acknowledge sources of information in information literacy. It is suggested to conduct such a research on university faculty members in order to determine their critical thinking and information literacy levels and to investigate their relationship with students' thinking and information literacy.
