Teaching medical students critical questioning strategies significantly improved their critical thinking skills. This intervention enhanced their ability to ask questions, boosting overall cognitive abilities as measured by a standardized test.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cognitive Science
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Critical thinking is essential for effective medical practice.
  • Developing questioning skills is key to enhancing critical thinking in medical students.
  • Previous interventions have explored various methods to improve student critical thinking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of critical questioning workshops on medical students' critical thinking skills.
  • To assess the effect of these workshops on students' confidence in asking questions.
  • To examine the influence on student-instructor interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Workshops designed to teach systematic critical questioning were implemented.
  • Sixty-two third-year medical students in obstetrics and gynecology clerkship participated.

  • Participants were divided into an intervention group (workshops) and a control group.

    • Main Results:

    • Students attending the workshops demonstrated significantly higher scores on the California Critical Thinking Skills Test.
    • Improvements were noted in critical thinking subscales, including inference and deductive reasoning.
    • The intervention group showed statistically significant gains compared to the control group (P = .028).

    Conclusions:

    • Training medical students in critical questioning enhances their critical thinking abilities.
    • The California Critical Thinking Skills Test effectively measured the improvements.
    • This pedagogical approach offers a valuable strategy for medical education.
