In this study, we proposed the learning activities using open community systems to increase critical thinking and cooperative work. We designed and implemented the Wiki system that is an opened community and general Web-Board system that is a closed community. Then, elementary students had the critical essays activities using these systems. The results of the study are as follows. First, the critical thinking activities were happened more actively at the Wiki system than at the Web-Board system. And we found that the critical thinking dispositions were improved at the Wiki system after students performed the critical writing activities. The critical thinking activities also occurred more actively in cooperative groups than in studying individual groups. In conclusion, when the students learn with the open community like the Wiki system than closed community, it is hoped that they would participate actively and their critical thinking would be improved better.

This study determined the correlation between College Life in Freshmen critical thinking disposition; problem solving process. It also examined the impact of critical thinking disposition on problem solving process. The data was collected from 215 Freshmen members. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, scheffe test, pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed. Results: In critical thinking disposition, there were significants differences in age, interpersonal relationships. In multiple regression analysis, critical thinking disposition and major satisfaction were significants factors of problem process ability explaining 38% Conclusion: To enhance problem process ability for freshmen, it is necessary to develop teaching program and curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to examine the job-seeking stress of nursing students according to their critical thinking disposition and self-esteem and the relationship of these variables. The subjects in this study were 332 nursing students. The students got $89.57{\pm}9.77$ in critical thinking; $25.11{\pm}2.58$ in self-esteem; and $46.38{\pm}17.67$ in job-seeking stress. There was a positive correlation between critical thinking and self-esteem(r=.294, p<.001), and critical thinking(r=-.240, p<.001) had a significant positive correlation with self-esteem(r=-.209, p<.001). Critical thinking disposition and self-esteem were identified as the variables to affect job-seeking stress, and the two variables had a 35.2% explainability.

The main thesis of this article is that the decisive point of creativity education is the cultivation of critical thinking capability. Although the narrow conception of creativity as divergent thinking is not subsumed under that of critical thinking, the role of divergent thinking is not so crucial in the science context of creative problem-solving. On the contrary, the broad conception of creativity as focusing on the reference to utility and the third conception of creativity as a process based on the variation and combination of existing pieces of information are crucial in creative problem-solving context, which are yet subsumed under that of critical thinking. The emphasis on critical thinking education is connected with the characteristics of contemporary knowledge-based society. This rapidly changing society requires situation-adaptive or situation-sensitive cognitive ability, whose core is critical thinking capability. Hence, the education of critical thinking is to be centered on the learning of blowing-how and procedural knowledge but not of knowing-that and declarative knowledge. Accordingly, the learning of critical thinking is to be headed towards the cultivation of competence but not just of performance. In conclusion, when a rational problem-solving through critical and logical thinking turns out consequently to be novel, we call it creative thinking. So, creativity is an emergent property based on critical and logical thinking.

The study was to investigation the correlation between critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of 320 dental hygiene students enrolled in H university, J region from June 1 to August 30, 2018. The data was analyzed by ANOVA, pearson's correlation and multiple regression using SPSS 18.0 program. The correlation between critical score 3.36 while problem solving ability score 3.41. The correlation between critical thinking problem-solving abilities of the subjects was statistically significant. The significant variables included problem-solving(${\beta}=0.107$)(p<0.05), academic performance(${\beta}=-0.081$)(p<0.05) with an explanatory power of 52.2%. It is necessary to develop a curriculum and learning method in improvement for critical thinking and problem-solving abilities change in educational environment of dental hygiene students.

This study was done to identify the relationship between safisfaction with major, critical thinking disposition and nurse image of nursing students. Subjects were 280 associates nursing students (2nd, 3rd, 4th grade) in M university. SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the data for the descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson correlation coefficients. The score for satisfaction of major was 3.81, critical thinking disposition scoring 3.52, nurse image scoring 3.85. Satisfaction of major was significantly positive correlation between critical thinking disposition and nurse image of nursing students. Therefore, increase to satisfaction of major in nursing student, it is necessary to study how to improve the nurse image by improving the critical thinking disposition of nursing students.

As social problems related to the digital divide are increasing, the elderly are facing various problems as an information alienated group. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the ability to critically understand and accept information. In this study, using the 2020 media panel survey, the effects of digital literacy in the elderly on critical thinking disposition of information were analyzed, focusing on the moderating effect of need for cognition. As a results of the analysis, it was confirmed that the operational and the information skill had a positive effect on the critical thinking disposition of information. Also, as a result of analyzing the moderating effect of NFC(Need for Cognition), it was found that NFC strengthens the influence of operational skill and reduces the influence of information skill. This suggests that the digital literacy education for the elderly needs to change from strengthening accessibility to improving information judgment.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of adolescents' media literacy, self-esteem, and cognitive related to on critical media understanding ability using data from the Korea Media Panel Survey 2020. As a result of the study, PC literacy and smart device literacy influenced adolescents' critical media literacy. The mediating effect of cognitive needs between Internet literacy and critical media understanding ability using PCs and smart devices was significant, and the mediating effect of self-esteem between email literacy using PCs and smart devices and critical media understanding ability was significant. Therefore, to improve adolescents' critical media understanding ability, it is necessary to educate them to use PCs and smart devices as tools for interaction. To this end, it is desirable for information and technology subjects to focus on media literacy to increase cognitive needs, and for other subjects, cooperative learning using media is desirable.
