Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? CCTDI and CCTST tools measure limited aspects of critical thinking (analyzing and interpreting written patient data) and cannot measure patient-specific situation-driven performance. → Lee JuHee 2016

Authors' critique citing Simpson and Courtney and other prior work. These tools "measured the limited aspect of critical thinking" and "are not able to measure the students' performance for example, patient specific situation driven critical thinking." Self-report method may cause socially desirable responding.
"However, these commercialized tools measured the limited aspect of critical thinking, such as analyzing and interpreting the suggested patient written data [24, 25]. These tools are not able to measure the students' performance for example, patient specific situation driven critical thinking."
