Jerome C. Estera and Jhonner D. Ricafort, 2025. Association of Binaural Beats on Critical Thinking of STEM Students. United International Journal for Research & Technology (UIJRT). 6(7), p304-312.
Abstract
This study employed a quasi-experimental single-group pretest-posttest design to assess the critical thinking abilities of 23 Grade 12-STEM students from Juban National High School during the 2024-2025 academic year, prior to any intervention involving binaural beats. Utilizing the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA), the study aimed to determine students' baseline critical thinking skills across five identified aspects: evaluation of arguments, recognition of assumption, deduction, inference making, and interpretation. The pre-test results revealed that students generally exhibited low critical thinking performance across all aspects, with a notable portion consistently scoring in the "below average" and "well below average" ranges. This indicates a significant need for targeted educational interventions to enhance these fundamental skills among Grade 12-STEM students.
