To investigate the effects of the community of inquiry method on critical thinking of students in media literacy (animation), an experiment was designed and conducted in Tehran among 8th-grade students in academic year 2014-2015. The research population was all sixth grade elementary school students in Tehran, among which 48 students were selected by cluster random sampling and were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. With 99% confidence, the findings showed that the participation of students in the community of inquiry affects their critical thinking skills.
