The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of concept maps in improving the critical thinking of nursing students.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest design among two groups of a total of 115 nursing students. Participants were either exposed to concept mapping sessions or taught with traditional lecturing; the assessment tool was a test of critical thinking completed before and after the intervention.
The mean scores for critical thinking were higher in the group that engaged in mapping sessions compared to the traditional lecture group.
This study supports the usefulness of concept maps as a teaching strategy to promote development of nursing students' critical thinking abilities. These findings could provide valuable evidence for establishing concept mapping as a promising teaching strategy for nursing students.
本研究旨在探讨概念图在提高护生批判性思维方面的有效性。
本准实验研究采用前测-后测设计，在两组共115名护生中进行。参与者要么参加概念图课程，要么接受传统讲座教学；评估工具是在干预前后完成的批判性思维测试。
与传统讲座组相比，参加概念图课程的组批判性思维的平均得分更高。
本研究支持概念图作为一种教学策略在促进护生批判性思维能力发展方面的有用性。这些发现可为将概念图确立为一种有前景的护生教学策略提供有价值的证据。
