The tools that are use now, The test of the California critical thinking skil test -form-B (CCTST) was. In order to analyse, the information that got frome questions in pre testing and after testing descriptive statical methods including The mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution and inferential statistical methods, including covariance was used for analysed and with using of soft ware spss, it analysed.
Results: The conclusion showed that the inquiry method instruction was effective on critical thinking. Results of covariance analysis showed that the inquiry method instruction was effective on subscales of Critical thinking including, analysis, evaluation, inference, deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning.
Conclusion: So the results of this research can be saidinquiry-based learning is a teaching method could lead to the development of critical thinking abilities.
