Developing the ability to think critically is an important element of undergraduate physiology education and is influenced by many factors, including the learning environment, the social context of the learning environment, and the instructor's approach to teaching. In this work, we describe online learning modules (OLM) that were designed to promote higher-order critical thinking skills in students enrolled in an upper-division Exercise Testing and Prescription course. The OLM provided students with an online learning environment in which to review clinical physiological details from authentic patient case data and develop exercise prescriptions (ExRx), by requiring students to critically analyze authentic patient case histories and collaborate on computer-based learning activities. On the basis of assessment data, we conclude that the OLM helped exercise science students develop the critical thinking skills necessary for development of effective exercise prescriptions by requiring them to think critically while concurrently reinforcing lecture-presented exercise science content.
培养批判性思维能力是本科生理学教育的一个重要要素，并且受到许多因素的影响，包括学习环境、学习环境的社会背景以及教师的教学方法。在这项工作中，我们描述了在线学习模块（OLM），其旨在促进参加高年级运动测试与处方课程的学生的高阶批判性思维技能。OLM为学生提供了一个在线学习环境，通过要求学生批判性地分析真实患者病历并在基于计算机的学习活动中进行协作，让他们从真实患者病例数据中复习临床生理学细节并制定运动处方（ExRx）。基于评估数据，我们得出结论，OLM通过要求运动科学专业的学生在批判性思考的同时强化课堂讲授的运动科学内容，帮助他们培养了制定有效运动处方所需的批判性思维技能。
