Also، There was a positive correlation between active experimentation and academic performance (r=0. 114، P<0. 05). There was negative correlation between critical thinking attitude and reflective observation (r=-0. 22، P<0. 01); this correlation with abstract conceptualization was positive (r=0. 16، P<0. 01).
