The Journal of nursing education·2021

Nurse educators demonstrate moderate to strong critical thinking skills and use role modeling and questioning to teach students. Further research is needed to understand how educators can best enact their critical thinking to enhance student learning.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Nurse educators' critical thinking is crucial for developing students' critical thinking abilities.
  • The manifestation of nurse educators' critical thinking in clinical settings remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how nurse educators demonstrate their critical thinking while supervising nursing students in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods design combining quantitative (California Critical Thinking Skills Test, California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory) and qualitative (participant observation, semi-structured interviews) data.
  • Participants included clinical nurse educators from a Western Canadian baccalaureate nursing program teaching medical-surgical students.

Main Results:

  • Educators generally possess moderate to strong critical thinking skills and positive dispositions.
  • While educators found it challenging to articulate, they utilized role modeling and questioning to convey critical thinking to students.
  • A correlation was found between higher confidence in reasoning (CCTST subscale) and increased engagement in reflective activities.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers initial insights into nurse educators' critical thinking in action.
  • A mixed-methods approach is effective for understanding the complexity of nurse educators' critical thinking.
  • Further investigation is required to determine how nurse educators can optimally leverage their critical thinking to foster student learning.
