Purpose: The descriptive-correlational study was undertaken in order to investigate the relationships between critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill in clinical nurses. Methods: A convenience sample of 50 registered nurses was obtained from E University Hospital. The instruments used in this study were general characteristics, California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) and California Critical Thinking Skill Test(CCTST) developed by Facione & Facione (1994). The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient with SPSS 12.0 Program. Results: 1) There was a statistically significant difference in critical thinking disposition according to age (F=3.23, p=.03) and educational background (F=39.07, p=.00). 2) There was a statistically significant difference in critical thinking skill according to age (F=3.40, p=.02), educational background(F=32.51, p=.00), and period of professional nursing experience(F=3.56, p=.02). Conclusion: A significant positive correlation between critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill was found(r=.68, p=.00). Critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill according to age and educational background had statistically significant differences. Therefore, it is needed to emphasize the necessity of continuous education and training of nurses which prepare their critical thinking ability.

Purpose: This study was designed to explore the influencing factors on communication skill of nursing students and to investigate the relationship between learning style, critical thinking disposition and communication skill, Methods: The study sample was composed of 559 nursing students. Data was collected from 1st to 30th, May 2012 used a questionnaire which included Kolb's learning style inventory, critical thinking disposition inventory, communication skill inventory. The SPSS 18.0 Window program was used for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Learning styles of subjects were diverging 39.5%, accommodating 32.6%, assimilating 22.7%, and converging 5.2%. The total mean score of critical thinking disposition and communication skill was 3.58 and 3.39 respectively. The score of Critical thinking disposition(t=3.06, p=.002) and Communication skill(t=3.25, p=.002) significantly differed between clinical practice satisfaction. Communication skill was the most significant predictor and accounted for 41.3% of the variance in critical thinking disposition in nursing students. Conclusion: It is important for students to use all four learning styles rather than to rely on one style. There should be more emphasis placed on the development of positive critical thinking disposition and communication skill of nursing students.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were as follows; 1) To review the definitions of critical thinking from various perspectives, 2) To examine the critical thinking measurements throughout nursing research, and 3) To review the nursing studies with regard to critical thinking. Methods: This study was a literature review with regard to the critical thinking in nursing in aspects of conceptual meaning, measurements, and research. Results: The definition of critical thinking in nursing included decision making in clinical setting, inference with logical construct to increase nursing quality, interpretation in the context, and evaluation. The critical thinking was a core concept, which meant not only simple nursing process, but included decision making ability. The critical thinking has been conceptualized by both critical thinking disposition and skill. However, there was no nursing specified critical thinking measurement. Critical thinking research has been conducted to describe critical thinking disposition and critical thinking, to determine relationships between critical thinking and clinical competency, and to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs. Conclusion: The instruments for measuring critical thinking disposition and skill that contain cultural difference and clinical specificity need to be developed to measure critical thinking and increase it.

본 연구에서는 창의적 사고력은 협의의 측면으로 정의하여 제시하였고 그리고 비판적 사고력은 강한 의미의 측면으로 정의하여 제시하였으며, 이를 토대로 하여 현행 탐구 교수 전략을 수정 보완하는데 활용할 수 있는 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델은 교사가 물어보는 인과적 질문에 대하여 학생들로 하여금 발산적 사고력을 활용하면서 조별 토론에 의하여 잠정적 설명들을 적어도 세 가지로 응답들을 하게 한 후에, 이어서 조 별 토론하면서 보다 더 나은 하나의 설명(가설)을 선택하도록 하는 가설을 제안하는 과정이다. 발산적인 사고로 다양한 가설들을 만들어 내기 위해서도 조 별 협동학습 활동이 필수적이며, 또한 학생들로 하여금 강한 의미의 비판적 사고를 형성하게 하기 위해서도 반드시 협동 학습에서 조 별 토론에 의하여 얻어진 사고의 결과들을 만들어 내도록 하여야 한다. 이러한 과정을 경험하면서 학생들은 창의적인 사고와 비판적인 수렴적 사고를 작동하게 되는 것이다. 이 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 적용한 수업 전략에는 기존 수업 전략에 비하여 아주 조그마한 차이만을 보여주나, 이와 같은 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력을 활용한 탐구 교수 전략을 중학교 2학년 학생들과 대학교 1학년 학생들에게 적용한 결과에 의하면 비교반과 비교하였을 때 유의미하게 창의력이 신장되었다. 창의적 사고력과 비판적 사고력 신장 모델을 활용한 다양한 여덟 개의 실례들을 개발하였다. 이 여덟 개의 결과들은 기존의 탐구 교수 전략에 들어 있는 인과적 질문에 대하여 설명들(가설들)을 하고 있는 형태들을 갖추고 있다.
