以医科生为主体的学术素养理论建模研究——批判性思维能力之重要性与培养模式探讨

Study on Theoretical Modeling of Academic Literacy of Medical Students:Importance of Critical Thinking Ability and Its Training Model

基于批判教育学的学术素养理论模型,综合体现了新时代对学习者在学术英语、信息素养和批判性思维三方面的要求。该研究在医科学生(N=386)中进行测试和问卷调查,获取学术英语、信息素养和批判性思维三方面的数据进行结构方程建模,探讨了三种能力之间的关联性。模型显示:批判性思维对学术英语能力有直接影响效应;信息素养以批判性思维作为中介对学术英语产生间接效应。该研究突出了批判性思维在医科学生学术表现中的重要作用,提出应该在医学教育乃至其他高等教育领域明确培养学生的批判性思维。

A trilogy model of academic literacy based on critical pedagogy can demonstrate three integrated aspects of requirements for higher education learners:academic English,information literacy and critical thinking.This hypothesized model was tested using structural equation modeling.The data were collected among medical students(N=386).The results show that critical thinking influences the students'academic English performance directly,while information influences academic English performance indirectly through critical thinking.This study indicates the importance of instructing and training students'critical thinking skills in higher education.
