This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in critical thinking skills among medical students.
This cross-sectional survey study recruited 392 medical students from three public universities in Saudi Arabia. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing perceptions of ChatGPT's impact on critical thinking skills. Data were analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Cronbach's alpha to evaluate reliability.
Significant gender-based differences were found in perceptions of ChatGPT's efficacy, particularly in generating diverse perspectives ( = 0.0407*) and encouraging questioning ( = 0.0277*). Reflective practice perceptions varied significantly by age ( = 0.0302*), while academic backgrounds yielded significant differences across all factors assessed ( < 0.0001*). Overall, 92.6% believed integrating ChatGPT would benefit critical thinking skills. Most participants ( = 174) strongly agreed that ChatGPT improved critical thinking.
Integrating ChatGPT into medical education could offer valuable opportunities for fostering critical thinking abilities, albeit with the need for addressing associated challenges and ensuring inclusivity.
本研究旨在评估ChatGPT对医学生批判性思维技能的有效性。
这项横断面调查研究招募了沙特阿拉伯三所公立大学的392名医学生。参与者完成了一份在线问卷，评估对ChatGPT对批判性思维技能影响的看法。使用SPSS对数据进行分析，采用描述性统计、t检验、方差分析和克朗巴哈系数来评估信度。
在对ChatGPT功效的看法上发现了显著的性别差异，特别是在产生不同观点方面（P = 0.0407*）和鼓励提问方面（P = 0.0277*）。反思性实践的看法因年龄而异（P = 0.0302*），而学术背景在所有评估因素上均产生了显著差异（P < 0.0001*）。总体而言，92.6%的人认为整合ChatGPT将有利于批判性思维技能。大多数参与者（n = 174）强烈同意ChatGPT提高了批判性思维。
将ChatGPT整合到医学教育中可以为培养批判性思维能力提供宝贵的机会，尽管需要应对相关挑战并确保包容性。
