Mixed-methods study reveals significant urban-rural disparities in science process skills and critical thinking among junior high school students, highlighting geographic educational gaps.

Key Points

To examine the relationship between science process skills and critical thinking among junior high school students and assess performance disparities between urban and rural schools.
Conducted a mixed-methods investigation using a total sampling technique encompassing 689 junior high school students across urban and rural schools.
Analyzed quantitative outcomes with descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and linear regression via SPSS 21, supplemented by qualitative in-depth interviews.
Urban students demonstrated significantly higher science process skills in science learning than rural students (p<0.01).
Critical thinking levels were categorized as high in urban students but fair in rural students (p<0.001).
Science process skills accounted for a 51.5% contribution to student critical thinking performance in regression modeling.
