  • Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of critical thinking and good communication skills on the problem-solving abilities of dental hygiene students. Methods: A total of 508 dental hygiene students were convenience-sampled from 3 universities. Results: The results revealed that critical thinking had the highest intellectual fairness score of 3.60, and systematicity was the lowest at 3.19. The values for communication skills were high in reaction, social adequacy, and concentration, with an average of 3.65. Problem-solving abilities were in the following order: clarification of the problem, seeking solutions, and decision making. According to general characteristics, more extroverted personalities possessed higher levels of critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities (p<0.01). Critical thinking scores were high (p=0.016) in students who responded that peer relationship was difficult; however, their communication skills were the lowest (p<0.001). Additionally, problem-solving abilities were highest among students who reported a difficult peer relationship (p=0.001). The higher the satisfaction with dental hygiene academics, the higher the critical thinking, communication skill, and problem-solving ability (p<0.001). Critical thinking showed a high positive correlation with variables in the following order: clarification of the problem, performing the solutions, seeking solutions, decision making, and evaluation and reflection. The communication skills were also related to these variables listed above (p<0.01). With critical thinking, confidence, watchfulness, intellectual passion/curiosity, sound skepticism, objectivity, and systematicity all influenced the problem-solving ability. Conclusion: Communication skills were influenced by noise control, putting on the other's shoe, social tensions, and efficiency, which affected the problem-solving ability. Dental clinics require dental hygienists to have critical thinking to make analytical judgments and effective communication skills to solve human relation problems with patients and care-givers. Therefore, these skills should be developed in dental hygiene students to improve their problem-solving abilities.

  • 본 연구에서는 창의적 사고력은 협의의 측면으로 정의하여 제시하였고 그리고 비판적 사고력은 강한 의미의 측면으로 정의하여 제시하였으며, 이를 토대로 하여 현행 탐구 교수 전략을 수정 보완하는데 활용할 수 있는 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델은 교사가 물어보는 인과적 질문에 대하여 학생들로 하여금 발산적 사고력을 활용하면서 조별 토론에 의하여 잠정적 설명들을 적어도 세 가지로 응답들을 하게 한 후에, 이어서 조 별 토론하면서 보다 더 나은 하나의 설명(가설)을 선택하도록 하는 가설을 제안하는 과정이다. 발산적인 사고로 다양한 가설들을 만들어 내기 위해서도 조 별 협동학습 활동이 필수적이며, 또한 학생들로 하여금 강한 의미의 비판적 사고를 형성하게 하기 위해서도 반드시 협동 학습에서 조 별 토론에 의하여 얻어진 사고의 결과들을 만들어 내도록 하여야 한다. 이러한 과정을 경험하면서 학생들은 창의적인 사고와 비판적인 수렴적 사고를 작동하게 되는 것이다. 이 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 적용한 수업 전략에는 기존 수업 전략에 비하여 아주 조그마한 차이만을 보여주나, 이와 같은 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력을 활용한 탐구 교수 전략을 중학교 2학년 학생들과 대학교 1학년 학생들에게 적용한 결과에 의하면 비교반과 비교하였을 때 유의미하게 창의력이 신장되었다. 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 활용한 다양한 여덟 개의 실례들을 개발하였다. 이 여덟 개의 결과들은 기존의 탐구 교수 전략에 들어 있는 인과적 질문에 대하여 설명들(가설들)을 하고 있는 형태들을 갖추고 있다.

  • Purpose: This longitudinal study was done to investigate critical thinking dispositions and critical thinking skills of nursing students enrolled in a 4-year baccalaureate program at a university in Korea. Method: The study used a longitudinal design. A convenience sample of 32 nursing students who were completing their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year in a baccalaureate program at a selected university was included. The subjects completed the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI), the California Critical Thinking Skill Test (CCTST), and a demographic questionnaire. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, repeated ANOVA, adjusted p-values, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with SAS 8.12. Results: There was statistically significant improvement according to academic year in the CCTDI total mean score (F=7.54, p= .0001) and subscales of Open-mindedness, Self-confidence, and Maturity. Contrarily, no statistically significant difference was found in the CCTST total mean score and subscales' score except Analysis. Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between critical thinking dispositions and skills, so it will be necessary to repeat a study like this, and the translated instruments should be modified by considering Korean culture.

  • Facilitating critical thinking is important for students' cognitive growth and knowledge acquisition. This study examines the dimensions of tutors' roles in facilitating the critical thinking required for problem solving in online discussions. The research procedures include identifying the research problems related to critical thinking skills; synthesizing theories and perspectives on critical thinking skills; and analyzing, validating, and determining tutors' roles. Using the results of this study, problem solving processes are divided into four phases: analyzing, judging, inferencing, and meta-cognitively evaluating. Tutors' roles in online problem solving can be categorized into four domains: cognitive, social, managerial, and technical. Tutors' roles in each domain are specifically analyzed, and the strengths, weaknesses, and improvements in tutors' facilitation of critical thinking for online problem solving are evaluated.

  • Developing mathematical thinking skills is one of the most important goals of school mathematics. In particular, recent performance based on assessment has focused on the teaching and learning environment in school, emphasizing student's self construction of their learning and its process. Because of this reason, people related to mathematics education including math teachers are taught to recognize the fact that the degree of students'acquisition of mathematical thinking skills and strategies(for example, inductive and deductive thinking, critical thinking, creative thinking) should be estimated formally in math class. However, due to the lack of an evaluation tool for estimating the degree of their thinking skills, efforts at evaluating student's degree of mathematics thinking skills and strategy acquisition failed. Therefore, in this paper, mathematical thinking was studied, and using the results of study as the fundamental basis, mathematical thinking process model was developed according to three types of mathematical thinking - fundamental thinking skill, developing thinking skill, and advanced thinking strategies. Finally, based on the model, evaluation factors related to essential thinking skills such as analogy, deductive thinking, generalization, creative thinking requested in the situation of solving mathematical problems were developed.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of preclinical clinical performance examination (CPX) on nursing students' confidence in their nursing skills and critical thinking competence. Methods: The design of this research was one-group pretest-posttest, and the participants were 112 nursing students. The preclinical CPX consisted of a clinical examination, patient-nurse relationship, oral test of related knowledge, written test of the nursing process, and debriefing using comprehensive scenarios based on real patient cases. The confidence of nursing skills consisted of an 8-item NRS and the critical thinking competence consisted of a 12-item 4-point scale developed by researchers and measured in both the pretest and posttest. The collected data were analyzed using paired t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The score for confidence in nursing skills (t=10.60, p<.001) and that for critical thinking competence (t=7.03, p<.001) increased significantly after preclinical CPX. Conclusion: This study showed that preclinical CPX was effective in improving nursing students' confidence in their nursing skills and critical thinking competence. Therefore, preclinical CPX is expected to be utilized in nursing practice education. Additional studies including those on control groups are recommended to compare differences between the preclinical CPX group and control group.
