Abstract:

Reading mobile applications, more generally known as an “applications,” are a category of application software created specifically to run on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Critical thinking is the process of actively and successfully conceiving, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating knowledge as a basis for belief and action. This study assessed the relationship of using reading mobile applications in developing the students’ critical thinking skills. A correlational design was used in this study to assess whether two different variables have a relationship. There were 125 grade 10 respondents utilized by the researchers. The research was carried out at Maguikay High School in G.K. Sudlon, Maguikay, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines, 6014. Two-page standardized questionnaires were used in this study, which was calculated using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Every questionnaire fundamentally plays a role in the study to effectively know the correlation of each variable. The finding showed that there is a significant relationship between reading mobile applications and critical thinking skills. Therefore, reading mobile applications can help students gain knowledge, improve their reading skills, and develop their critical thinking skills.
