Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of critical thinking and good communication skills on the problem-solving abilities of dental hygiene students. Methods: A total of 508 dental hygiene students were convenience-sampled from 3 universities. Results: The results revealed that critical thinking had the highest intellectual fairness score of 3.60, and systematicity was the lowest at 3.19. The values for communication skills were high in reaction, social adequacy, and concentration, with an average of 3.65. Problem-solving abilities were in the following order: clarification of the problem, seeking solutions, and decision making. According to general characteristics, more extroverted personalities possessed higher levels of critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities (p<0.01). Critical thinking scores were high (p=0.016) in students who responded that peer relationship was difficult; however, their communication skills were the lowest (p<0.001). Additionally, problem-solving abilities were highest among students who reported a difficult peer relationship (p=0.001). The higher the satisfaction with dental hygiene academics, the higher the critical thinking, communication skill, and problem-solving ability (p<0.001). Critical thinking showed a high positive correlation with variables in the following order: clarification of the problem, performing the solutions, seeking solutions, decision making, and evaluation and reflection. The communication skills were also related to these variables listed above (p<0.01). With critical thinking, confidence, watchfulness, intellectual passion/curiosity, sound skepticism, objectivity, and systematicity all influenced the problem-solving ability. Conclusion: Communication skills were influenced by noise control, putting on the other's shoe, social tensions, and efficiency, which affected the problem-solving ability. Dental clinics require dental hygienists to have critical thinking to make analytical judgments and effective communication skills to solve human relation problems with patients and care-givers. Therefore, these skills should be developed in dental hygiene students to improve their problem-solving abilities.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' critical thinking disposition and knowledge sharing activity and professional work environment on clinical decision-making ability. Methods: The data collection period for this study was from May 24 to May 31, 2021. The data were collected from 167 nurses who consented to participate in this study and have worked for more than one year at general hospital in Seoul. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between clinical decision-making ability and critical thinking disposition, knowledge sharing activity, and a professional work environment. Critical thinking disposition (β=.32, p<.001), knowledge sharing activitiy (β=.24, p=.002) and professional work environment (β=.20, p=.006) had a significant effect on clinical decision-making ability. These factors explained 35.5% of clinical decision-making ability (F=24.22, p<.001). Conclusion: Therefore, in order to develop the critical thinking disposition of nurses, development of systematic educational programs and strategies for practical application are needed. Through this, nurses can improve the professional decision-making ability and clinical performance ability.

Existing science education that excludes narrative thinking impedes the understanding of the context of workbook content. The object of this research is to develop a storytelling-learning program based on narrative thinking to elevate learners' interest in science and expand their inventive problem-solving abilities. Following an analysis of the current Korean curriculum, eight types of storytelling materials that utilize local content were developed for grades 7-9. The learning program used quest storytelling and was designed such that learning activities such as investigation, discussion, and experimentation were included in the process of solving each quest. Learners experienced an interest in storytelling learning resulting from participation in this storytelling-learning program. Moreover, learners demonstrated inventive problem-solving abilities in the process of completing the stories. During the process of assembling the storytelling materials, the students interacted with enthusiasm and generated ideas. The teachers indicated a positive feedback to the storytelling program as a new attempt to stimulate learners' interests. In the future, with continuous development and application, storytelling-science-learning programs that base science learning on narrative thinking are expected to be successful.

이 연구에서는 형식적 사고를 요구하는 '기체 분자운동'의 개념 이해에 형식적 조작기로의 인지가속을 목적으로 하는 '생각하는 과학' 활동을 사전에 적용했을 때 어떠한 효과가 있는지 알아보았으며 이 활동에 대한 학생들의 인식을 조사하였다. 교과서 내용 분석을 통하여, 기체 분자 운동의 개념 이해에 필요한 논리적 요소로 변인, 비례, 보상, 형식적 모형 등의 4가지 논리를 추출하였다. 실험 집단 학생들에게 4가지 논리와 관련된 9개의 '생각하는 과학' 활동을 처치한 후에 기체 분자 운동의 수업을 실시하고, 기체 분자 운동의 개념 이해에 대한 성취도 평가를 하였다. 기체 분자 운동 개념에 대한 실험 집단과 통제 집단간의 성취도는 t-검증 결과 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 성 별 분석에서는 사전 인지 수준을 공변인으로 한 공변량 분석 결과 실험 집단의 여학생이 유의미하게 성취도가 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 과학 성취도 평가의 논리 별 정답률에서는 변인 통제, 보상, 형식적 모형논리의 정답률이 통제 집단에 비해 높게 나타났으나 비례 논리는 거의 비슷하게 나타났다. 실험 집단의 '생각하는 과학' 활동에 대한 인식 조사 결과, 활동에 대한 인식이 긍정적일수록 성취도가 높게 나타났으며 과학적 사고력과 태도 영역이 기체 분자 운동의 성취도 사이에 상관관계가 있었다. 특히 구체적 조작기 후기(2B)의 학생들이 가장 긍정적 인식을 가지고 있었으며 성취도도 높았다. 학생들은 교과서에 나와 있지 않는 실험 소재를 다루게 되어 흥미로웠으며 실험 후 토론 시간을 가지면서 연구자가 된 듯한 느낌을 갖게 되어 '생각하는 과학' 활동을 통해 자신의 과학적 사고력이 향상된 것 같다고 답변하였다.
