Critical Thinking01:19

Critical Thinking

141
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

231
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Critical thinking is a vital higher education outcome, yet challenging to cultivate.
  • Informal fallacy identification is a key component of critical thinking.
  • Online learning and precision teaching (PT) offer potential avenues for skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a brief online intervention for improving informal fallacy identification.
  • To assess the effectiveness of precision teaching (PT) and video-based learning.
  • To investigate the impact of PT combined with problem-based training on skill generalization.

Main Methods:

  • A brief online intervention using bite-sized videos within a precision teaching (PT) framework.
  • Three learning conditions: PT fluency-based training, PT plus problem-based training, and self-directed learning control.
  • Assessment of fallacy identification on taught and unseen materials, including knowledge retention tests.

Main Results:

  • All groups improved fallacy identification on taught material; PT groups showed greater improvement on domain-general assessments.
  • Lower-scoring participants demonstrated higher gains, indicating effective skill building.
  • Knowledge retention was comparable across groups one week later.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating bite-sized video learning with PT effectively enhances students' critical thinking skills.
  • Precision teaching (PT), alone or combined with problem-based training, improves the generalization of learned skills.
  • The findings support the use of technology-enhanced PT for critical thinking development in higher education.
