It has been stated in previous studies that the need for critical thinking skills is abundant and rapidly increasing for survival in today’s world. Building on these studies this study examined critical thinking, the facilitation of critical thinking and the use of the Ropes Challenge Course class as a tool to enhance critical thinking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Ropes Challenge Course class on middle school student’s enhancement of critical thinking skills. Participants included students enrolled in Physical Education and Ropes Challenge Course classes at South Park Middle School and Baker Middle School. Participants were from all three grade levels, 6th, 7th and 8th at South Park and 8th from Baker. Total numbers of participants were 650. Participants were given the Cornell Critical Thinking Test Level X (Ennis & Millman, 1985) as a pretest and posttest to test their critical thinking skills. The test consisted of 71 items, which tested induction, deduction, value judgment, observation, credibility and assumptions. Participants were in either the experimental group or the control group. Participants in both groups were given the pretest. Participants in the control group participated in regular Physical Education classes and the experimental group participated in the Ropes Challenge Course activities. After the period of treatment both groups were given the posttest. A two-factor mixed-measures analysis of variance was conducted with an alpha level of .05 to analyze results. The results of the study indicated that there was a significant difference in posttest scores of the experimental group and the control group. Based on the results of this study and with the sample of students it appears that participation in the Ropes Challenge Course class can enhance critical thinking skills. This study adds to educator’s toolbox another vice in our quest to develop critical thinkers who can have a significant positive impact on our future.
