Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the critical thinking dispositions of baccalaureate nursing students.
  • To identify the learning styles prevalent among these students.
  • To explore potential correlations between critical thinking dispositions and learning modes in nursing students.

Main Methods:

  • The California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) was administered.
  • Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) was used to assess learning styles.

    • Main Results:

    • Senior-level nursing students (n=100) exhibited low mean scores in critical thinking self-confidence.
    • Weaknesses were noted in analyticity, systematicity, and inquisitiveness among dispositions.
    • Significant correlations were found between specific critical thinking disposition components and learning modes.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing education must integrate the development of critical thinking dispositions alongside skills.
    • Addressing low self-confidence and specific dispositional weaknesses is crucial for nursing students.
    • Understanding the interplay between critical thinking dispositions and learning styles can inform pedagogical strategies in nursing programs.
