- Abstract
This article presents a study that discusses various issues related to the construction and validation of a test aimed at measuring various aspects of scientific thinking in the curriculum of the first year college physics. The study is based on various assumptions. These assumptions are: scientific thinking represents numerous components and independent abilities, the abilities associated with scientific thinking may have a relation with abilities measured by intelligence and factual information tests, and the abilities involved in scientific thinking can be measured by paper and pencil tests which are constructed in an objective form.
