Chaffee Definition of CT

- "The process of thinking critically involves thinking for ourselves by carefully examining the way that we make sense of the world."


- Humans have the ability to reflect back on what we are thinking, doing or feeling and this reflection makes us more effective thinkers.

Alfaro-Lafevre Def of CT

- Purposeful, goal-directed thinking


- Aims to make clinical judgements based on evidence and not conjecture


- Based on principles of science and sci method


- Requires strategies that maximize human potential and compensate for problems caused by human nature ALSO that reasoning is CT

Delphi Research Project Def of CT

- Habitually inquisitive, well informed, trustful of reason, open-minded in evaluation, honest in facing personal biases, prudent in judgement, willing to reconsider, clear about issues, orderly in complex matters, diligent in seeking relevant info, reasonable of criteria, inquisitive, persistent in seeking results as precise as permits

Brookfield Def of CT (4 components)

-Identifying and challenging assumptions


-Aware of the importence of context in creating meaning


-Imagining and exploring alternatives


-Cultivating a reflective skepticism

Pless Def of CT

Specific study techniques related to cognitive levels of nursing questions

Knowledge


Comprehension


Application


Analysis

What is a "deep thinker"

Develops a thorough understanding of the material

Left-hemisphere information processing functions

-Rational problem solving and logical sequencing


-Break down situations into components


-Universal rules that can be applied in all situations

Right-hemisphere information processing functions

-Main ideas to establish relations that can be abstracted as the foundation or intuitive problem solving


-Learns from context/experience to apply and analyze principles

Clinical judgements

Conclusions or enlightened opinions arrived at after using reasoning or critical thinking

Perceptual Judgements

Regarding the data you need to collect and validation of the importance of the data you collect within the context of the situation

Inferential Judgements

Make when you determine which data are significant, eliminate data that are insignificant and identify the relationship that exists among the data collected

Diagnostic Judgements

Make when you link clusters of data with patterns affiliated with a specific nursing diagnosis

Basic-level critical thinker

-Build a novice's database/experiential knowled.


-Response based on recall and rote memory


-Rules/procedures & concrete action


-Distinct & Independent parts


IE: using a procedure book to administer a bandage covering



Complex-level thinker

-Explore options based on principles/patterns/understanding of commonality and difference


-Response based identify cue data/analyze clustered data/sort and choose most appropriate action/evaluate patient response


IE: applying bandage notice that other things such as irrigation of wound should be done

Expert Critical thinker

-Reasoning based on models, patterns and standards associated w/ "uniqueness" of each situation

Improve Critical Thinking

1-Think Aloud


2-Review Patient Scenarios


3-Written Assignments


4-Computer Assisted Learning


5-Videotaping


6-Clinical Process Records


7-Examinations

Identify the Key Concept Being Tested

Reframe, critique and evaluate stem of ?


Construct right answer before looking at options


Manipulate information OR
explore consequences of each action in alternatives

Avoid Reading Into the Question

"Did I add information to the stem?" "Did I have difficulty choosing because I would have done something entirely different?" "Did I delete an option because my experience was different from the patient situation presented?" "Did I view the patient scenario in more depth than was necessary?" DO NOT REWRITE THE ?
