Subclaims¶

q2 i? Critical thinking performance medians rose after intervention in the PENCRISAL total and in all five factors (deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, practical reasoning, decision-making, problem-solving). → Rivas SF 2022

Evidence¶

Rivas SF 2022¶

Rivas SF, Saiz C and Ossa C (2022) Metacognitive Strategies and Development of Critical Thinking in Higher Education. Front. Psychol. 13:913219. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.913219

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Pre-post comparison on the PENCRISAL test (35 open-answer items across five factors) in the same 89-student quasi-experimental study; the article reports "significant differences in the scale total and in the five factors" with rising medians.

"Finally, for critical thinking skills, the results show significant differences in the scale total and in the five factors regarding the measurement time, where performance medians rise after intervention (see Table 4)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• A critical thinking instruction program (ARDESOS-DIAPROVE) improved students' metacognition, with significant pre-post gains in the metaknowledge total and most MAI dimensions
• The TEFA-T model improves students' critical thinking skills on all measured indicators compared with conventional instruction
• The relation between metacognition and critical thinking is bidirectional: metacognition improves thinking skills and vice versa — related
• Engagement in deep learning activities, as measured by NSSE's DEEP Learning scale, shows no statistically significant relationship with objectively measured critical thinking at the end of the first year — related
