For this reason, the importance of thinking skills in education is gradually increased in nowadays. The most known thinking skills can be regarded as scientific thinking, critical thinking, problem solving, induction and deduction thinking. Critical thinking which is one of these thinking types which is important in mathematics teaching is necessary for the individuals to be successful in each field in nowadays. The research was designed basing on an experimental pre-test post-test model. Problem based learning (PBL) and traditional instruction methods were used in the experiment group and the control group respectively. The research was conducted with 46 seventh grade students from a private school. The effects of applied methods on the students’ critical thinking skills were studied in the research. At the end of the research, it was put forward that PBL method was more effective than the traditional method for improving the students’ critical thinking in mathematics lesson. CR - Barrows, H. S.
