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? In a descriptive retrospective correlational study (n = 258), concept-based curriculum showed a statistically significant positive correlation with critical thinking (p < 0.001). → Almasloukh 2023
q2 i? Critical thinking (p = 0.009) predicted the probability of passing the NCLEX-RN the first time. → Almasloukh 2023

The review reports Harrison's (2018) descriptive retrospective correlational study of nursing students (n = 258), finding a "statistically significant positive correlation between concept‐based curriculum and critical thinking (p < 0.001)"; critical thinking also predicted first-time pass probability (p = 0.009).
"Harrison (2018) conducted a descriptive retrospective correlational study on nursing students (n = 258) and found a statistically significant positive correlation between concept‐based curriculum and critical thinking (p < 0.001)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Critical Thinking — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
