This article discusses an interdisciplinary research project in which faculty from nursing and english collaborated in the assessment of students' critical thinking skills as reflected in writing portfolios. Faculty reviewed students' writing portfolios and then corresponded on email from two different universities about evidence of critical thinking in the portfolios. Findings suggest that writing portfolios can provide important evidence of critical thinking outcomes. To do this, however, faculty need to design writing assignments to foster critical thinking skills, helping students to think not only about learning to write, but also about using writing to learn.
本文讨论了一个跨学科研究项目,在该项目中,护理专业和英语专业的教师合作评估学生写作档案袋中所反映的批判性思维能力。教师们审查了学生的写作档案袋,然后通过电子邮件就两所不同大学的档案袋中的批判性思维证据进行了交流。研究结果表明,写作档案袋可以提供批判性思维成果的重要证据。然而,要做到这一点,教师需要设计写作任务以培养批判性思维能力,帮助学生不仅思考如何学习写作,还要思考如何通过写作来学习。
