According to the experimental survey, the findings indicated that the level of CT dispositions was moderate for all subscales. The result also shows the highest correlation between harmonious passion and critical thinking disposition (r = .240, p< 0.01) as well as there is a low correlation between passion criteria with open-mindedness and systematicity (r = .157, p< .05). Therefore, the students need more critical thinking activities to enhance their ability and skill and if sstudents show a strong passion toward an action which they like most, they will perform better in physical activities.
