- Abstract
Critical thinking is an essential skill needed by a physician. One of the ways to learn these skills is using a critical thinking question list (CTQL). This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of CTQL in stimulating students’ critical thinking skill in the tutorial Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This study was a cross-sectional study using a mixed-method approach. The subjects were first-year students who took the first course (n=177). Quantitative data was collected through the score of critical thinking (CT) examination and tutorial performance, while the qualitative data was collected using an open questionnaire. CT score consisted of students’ work in applying CTQL based on a reading text. It includes two parts (creating questions and answering them based on a reading text). Students had applied the CTQL method during the first course. Quantitative data was then analysed using Spearman correlation, and the qualitative data was analysed thematically. Tutorial performance correlated significantly with the total CT score (p< 0.01), and it also had a significant correlation with the CT score part2 (p<0.01). However, CT part 1 did not have a significant correlation with the students’ tutorial performance. The qualitative data indicated that CTQL supported students’ critical thinking activities during the tutorial, such as: criticising others’ opinion, selecting appropriate learning resources, asking more various questions, explaining using their own word, and thinking comprehensively. A critical thinking questions list could be an alternative method to teach critical thinking skills. It could be conducted by stimulating students to create questions and then answer them.
