The Computer Assisted Thinking (CAT) program revealed students struggle with inferential thinking, showing concrete observations instead of abstract reasoning. Curriculum review is needed to improve students' critical thinking skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Traditional Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) often focuses on rote memorization through multiple-choice questions.
  • Developing higher-order thinking skills like inferential and abstract reasoning is crucial in health sciences education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel Computer Assisted Thinking (CAT) program in fostering active thinking among health sciences students.
  • To analyze student interaction logs to identify specific cognitive skill deficits.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the CAT program, which requires students to generate short-sentence responses rather than selecting answers.
  • Implementation of a student action log function within the CAT program for data collection.
  • Analysis of student action logs to assess the level of inferential and abstract thinking.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of action logs indicated that students exhibited limited inferential thinking capabilities.
  • Student responses were predominantly concrete, lacking abstract reasoning.
  • The CAT program's design, requiring sentence generation, highlighted these cognitive limitations.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights a significant gap in students' abstract and inferential thinking skills.
  • The findings suggest a need for curriculum revision to better cultivate these essential cognitive abilities in health sciences students.
  • The CAT program serves as a valuable tool for diagnosing and potentially addressing these educational needs.
