Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study the critical thinking abilities of graduate science student teachers who studied with reflection activities and compare learning achievement scores between before and after studying by reflection activities. Participants in the research were 11 graduate science student teachers in the science teaching curriculum studying at the first semester of 2023 Chiangmai Rajabhat University who enrolled in the course ESCI 5101 (Teachership and Psychology of Learning), selected by purposive sampling. The instruments of this research were lesson plans based on reflection activities, a learning achievement test, a reflection activity journal, and a critical thinking ability test. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and content analysis. The results revealed that the overall critical thinking abilities of the graduate science teacher students after study were at a high level, and the learning achievement after learning was significantly higher than that before learning at the .05 level.
