This study investigates the difference between the performance of Iranian male and female EFL learners on the five dimensions of the California Critical Thinking Skills Test. Eighty-eight learners, out of 120, selected through a convenience sampling method, participated in this study. The researcher used a quantitative research method with one-group pretest posttest design. This group received “the Meeting- House Debate” strategy. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed no significant difference between males and females on the sub-scales measured; i.e. evaluation, analysis, inference, deductive reasoning, and inductive reasoning. It was concluded that gender did not have a significant effect on the students’ critical thinking skills.
