大学生批判性思维培育的实证研究

The Positive Study on the Cultivation of College Students' Critical Thinking

批判性思维一直是高等教育的重要内容。经过量表测量发现,大学生批判性思维能力良好,但不优秀,说明大学新生批判性思维能力还有很大的上升空间。经过以"传播学"课程教学为刺激物的实验研究后,发现大学生批判性思维培育是有效的,但培育效果没有想象中的那么强大,不同的培育方式的效果也有差异。应该将批判性思维的培育贯穿于大学教育的始终,提升教师批判性思维能力,改革教学方法和考核方式,注重对话交流和案例教学,营造宽松自由民主的学习氛围,建立新型师生关系,努力培育大学生批判性思维能力。

The cultivation of critical thinking is the important content of high education. Through the scale measurement,we found that the capacity of college students’ critical thinking is good,but not excellent,which improves that there is space to improve the critical thinking of college students. Through the experiment of taking the course teaching of Communication Studies as stimuli,we found the cultivation of critical thinking is valid,but the cultivation effect is not so strong as we expect,and different cultivation ways have different effect. We should embrace the critical thinking training in high education,improve the teachers’ critical thinking,reform teaching methods and test modes,emphasize conversation and case studies,construct free and democratic learning environment,build new teacher- student relation,and try hard to cultivate the college students’ critical thinking.
