Measuring Change in Students' Critical Thinking Ability: Implications for Health Care Education.

Bartlett, Doreen J.; Cox, Peter D.

Journal of Allied Health, v31 n2 p64-69 Sum 2002

Physical therapy students (n=28) completed the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) and California Critical Thinking Skills Test before and after the academic year and after clinical placements. Greatest critical thinking improvements occurred in truth-seeking, critical thinking self-confidence, and deduction. Student review of their thinking over time, especially using the CCTDI, was recommended. (Contains 31 references.) (SK)
