This study aimed to investigate the interactive effects of individual's cultural disposition (individualism, collectivism, horizontal disposition and vertical disposition) and cognitive style (analytic vs. holistic thinking) combination on differences in global precedence. For this purpose, the participants were divided into 4 different cultural disposition groups based on Singelis et al.'s(1995) INDCOL scale, and 2 cognitive style groups based on Choi et al.'s(2007) AHS, and required to respond selectively to global or local property of two types of compound stimuli (compound figure and compound letter). Reaction time and error rates for both global or local property were analyzed and compared as the dependent measurement. The results can be summarized as followings. First, faster responses were observed in compound figure condition than in compound letter condition, and to global property than to local property. Second, contrasting to individualism-cognitive style or horizontal disposition-cognitive style combinations, significant interaction effects both between collectivism and cognitive style, and between vertical disposition and cognitive style on global/local processing were found. This result indicated that combinations of collectivism-holistic thinking and vertical disposition-holistic thinking can induced larger global precedence effect than other combinations of cultural disposition and cognitive style.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Simulation as a Problem-Based Learning (S-PBL) on critical thinking disposition, self-efficacy, and learning attitude and to compare an ordinary least square and a quantile regression method in impacting factors on critical thinking disposition. 143 students from six classes were randomly selected from a total of ten fundamental classes were assigned 66 in the control group and 77 in the experimental group. The results were that the experimental group received S-PBL and improved their critical thinking disposition and self-efficacy compared to the traditional learning method. In ordinary least square, affecting factors on critical thinking were the learning method and self-efficacy and these variables explained 41.0% in the critical thinking disposition. The results of the quantile regression method showed that affecting factors of critical thinking disposition were learning attitude of 0.1 quantile to 0.7 quantile and self-efficacy of all quantiles, and learning attitude of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.7 quantiles. Conclusion: The S-PBL is an effective method for nursing students who have low critical thinking disposition score to increase critical thinking disposition. And instructors can actively use S-PBL to enhance critical thinking disposition as well as self-efficacy in class.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of critical thinking disposition and communication competence on the problem-solving confidence satisfaction of nursing students. The data was collected using questionnaires completed by 215 nursing students in G city from November 1 to November 30, 2019. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. The data analysis showed that the mean score for critical thinking disposition was 3.69±0.37, communication competence 3.72±0.46, and problem-solving confidence 3.56±0.41. There was a significant positive correlation between critical thinking disposition and communication competence (r=.588, p<.001). critical thinking disposition and problem-solving confidence (r=.462, p<.001), communication competence, and problem-solving confidence (r=.255, p<.001). As per the regression analysis, the factors that affect problem-solving confidence were academic achievement, critical thinking disposition, the motive for selecting nursing science, and gender with an explanatory power of about 33.8%. Conclusions: This study showed that problem-solving confidence correlated with critical thinking disposition and communication competence. Therefore, to increase the critical thinking disposition and communication competence and thus enhance the problem-solving confidence of nursing students, it is necessary to develop and apply appropriate teaching methods and non-contact education programs.

Method : The sample consisted of 151 nursing students, who have ever had clinical practice. Data were collected by self reporting questionnaire for 13 days from April 18-30, 2005. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient with SPSS Programs. Result : The result of this study were as follows : 1. The total mean score of critical thinking dispositions in the nursing students was moderately(3.50). There was a statistically significant difference in critical thinking disposition according to satisfaction with the nursing major(F=5.563, p=.005). 2. The total mean score of clinical competency in the nursing students was slightly high(3.37). There was a statistically significant difference in clinical competency according to adaptation with the nursing major(F=5.202, p=.007), satisfaction with clinical practice(F=3.172, p=.045). 3. A significant positive correlation between critical thinking disposition and clinical competency was founded(r= .421, p<.000).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing nurses' clinical decision making focusing on critical thinking disposition. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 505 nurses working at one of the general hospitals located in Seoul. Data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire between December 2006 and January 2007. Data was analyzed by one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS Win 14.0. Results: The mean scores of critical thinking disposition and clinical decision making were 99.10 and 134.32 respectively. Clinical decision making scores were significantly higher in groups under continuing education, with a master or higher degree, with clinical experience more than 5 years, or with experts. Critical thinking disposition and its subscales have a significant correlation with clinical decision making. Intellectual eagerness/curiosity, prudence, clinical experience, intellectual honesty, self-confidence, and healthy skepticism were important factors influencing clinical decision making(adjusted $R^2=33%$). Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that various strategies such as retaining experienced nurses, encouraging them to continue with education and enhancing critical thinking disposition are warranted for development of clinical decision making.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of team-based learning (TBL) program on problem solving ability, critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning in junior nursing students caring for patients with respiratory diseases. Methods: One-group pretest-posttest design was used. TBL program was carried out for 2 hours a week for 6 weeks. Data were collected by questionnaires from 167 nursing students from March 6 to June 5, 2013. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: At the completion of TBL program, significant improvement was found in problem solving ability (t=-6.04, p<.001), critical thinking disposition (t=5.02, p<.001) and self-directed learning (t=5.96, p<.001). There was a significant positive correlation among problem solving ability, critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning. Conclusion: In conclusion, TBL is a useful teaching and learning method on nursing students. We suggest that it is needed to measure the educational effects of TBL against other teaching methods in the future studies.
