Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Assessment

Background:

  • Critical thinking is essential for linking assessment data to clinical knowledge.
  • Students face difficulties in knowledge construction due to cognitive load and limited clinical exposure.
  • Understanding these challenges is crucial for effective nursing education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the challenges nursing students face in developing critical thinking skills during assessments.
  • To examine the role of cognitive load and clinical environment perception in knowledge construction.
  • To offer faculty insights from cognitive psychology for teaching nursing students.

Main Methods:

  • This study reviews learning from a cognitive psychological perspective.

  • Focuses on understanding student difficulties in linking assessment data to knowledge.

    • Main Results:

    • The assessment process imposes significant cognitive load, hindering students' ability to link data to knowledge.
    • Students' restricted view of the clinical environment further complicates knowledge construction.
    • Cognitive psychology offers a framework to understand and address these learning barriers.

    Conclusions:

    • Faculty can leverage cognitive psychology principles to enhance nursing students' critical thinking and knowledge construction.
    • Strategies should focus on reducing cognitive load and broadening students' clinical perspectives.
    • Improving assessment strategies is key to fostering deeper clinical understanding in nursing education.
