[Develop critical thinking through the practice daily]

To assess critical thinking skills of students in the UB Hospital Practicum through the development of a daily practice.

School of Nursing at UB.

Descriptive observational correlational.

From the total amount of 3rd course students doing the Hospitalary Practicum from October 2012 to January 2013, we will choose a convenience sample of n=10 from the number of students randomly assigned to each associate teacher, and in this case the main researcher.

From the California Critical Thinking skills test CCTST we'll seek personal disposition towards critical thinking through CCTDI California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory questionnaire to be passed to the students before the start of the Hospitalary and critical thinking skills will be sought after. A modified CTS Critical Thinking skills scale will be used to analyze reflexive writings.

Data will be statistically treated using SPSS and analized using descriptive statistic.Chi-square tests will be used to verify the existence of correlation between the research variables.
