Abstract

This research focused on the influence of critical thinking skills and study skills on the academic success of senior high school students in Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of critical thinking skills, study skills, and students’ academic success based on their specific indicators, examine the significant relationship between critical thinking skills and students’ academic success, as well as the relationship between study skills and students’ academic success, and identify which domains of critical thinking skills and study skills significantly influenced students’ academic success. This study employed a quantitative-correlational research design involving 213 Grade 11 students. The study applied statistical methods, including mean, Spearman’s rho, and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that the level of critical thinking skills was high, the level of study skills was also high, and the academic success level was high; there was a significant relationship between critical thinking skills and students’ academic success, as well as between study skills and students’ academic success. Furthermore, all three domains of critical thinking skills and three out of the four domains of study skills influenced the students’ academic success. Therefore, critical thinking skills and study skills played a crucial role in achieving students’ academic success.
