Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the undergraduate nursing students have developed their critical thinking disposition, and problem solving ability after they have completed the course. Data were analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA and paired t-test test with SPSS Statistics version 16.0. The study has shown that the students have developed their critical thinking disposition, especially in sub items as prudence, self-confidence, intellectual fairness, healthy skepticism after completing the undergraduate course, but they have failed to mature their problem solving ability except personal control ability. Therefore, it is critical to continuously apply the various teaching methods that will successfully help students enhance their critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability through the whole nursing curriculum.

본 연구는 간호대학생들의 교육과정이 비판적 사고성향과 문제해결능력에 영향을 미쳤는지를 조사한 종적연구로 1개 4년제 간호학과에 입학한 학생 94명 중 4년간 지속적으로 본 연구에 참여한 51명의 자료가 최종 분석 대상이 되었다. 자료는 SPSS 16.0 프로그램을 이용하여 repeated measure ANOVA와 paired t-test로 분석하였다. 간호대학생들의 비판적 사고성향은 학년이 올라갈수록 유의하게 향상하는 변화를 보였으나 하위요인 중에서는 지적 열정/호기심, 체계성, 객관성의 3항목만 유의하게 향상하였다. 문제해결능력은 향상하는 추세만 보이고 유의한 변화는 없었으며, 세부항목에서 유의하게 향상한 문제해결능력은 개인의 통제력이었다. 그러므로 비판적 사고성향 중 신중성, 자신감, 지적 공정성 및 건전한 회의성을 향상시키고, 문제해결능력 중 문제해결 자신감과 접근-회피 양식을 더욱 증진시킬 수 있도록 교수법 및 교육과정의 개선이 필요하다고 하겠다.
