青少年批判性思维倾向异质性及其相关因素

Heterogeneity of critical thinking disposition and related factors among adolescents

目的:考察青少年批判性思维倾向异质性的特点以及相关因素。方法:使用学习动机策略问卷(MSLQ)中的批判性思维子量表对4540名青少年进行调查,并采用潜在剖面分析方法进行潜在亚型探索,采用logistic回归进一步分析批判性思维倾向类型的影响因素。结果:青少年批判性思维倾向存在高批判性思维倾向组(42.3%)、低批判性思维倾向组(57.7%)2种类别。与低批判性思维倾向组相比,女性(OR=0.62)、非独生子女(OR=0.82)、非班干部(OR=0.72)的青少年具有低批判性思维倾向的可能性更高,而寄宿(OR=1.46)、父亲本科学历(OR=1.43)或母亲初中学历(OR=1.28)的青少年具有高批判性思维倾向的可能性更高。结论:青少年批判性思维倾向具有明显的异质性,性别、是否独生、就读方式、是否担任班干部和父母的受教育程度可能是相关因素。

Objective:To explore the characteristics and related factors of heterogeneity of critical thinking disposition in adolescents.Methods:Totally 4540 adolescents were surveyed with the Critical Thinking Disposition sub-scale of the Learning Motivation Strategies Questionnaire(MSLQ).The latent profile analysis was used to classify adolescents′critical thinking disposition.Logistic regression model was used to further analyze the factors influencing the type of critical thinking disposition.Results:There were two categories of adolescents′critical thinking disposition,namely the high critical thinking disposition group(42.3%)and the low critical thinking disposition group(57.7%).Compared to the low critical thinking disposition group,those adolescents who were females(OR=0.62),non-only children(OR=0.82),and non-class cadres(OR=0.72)were more likely to have lower level of critical thinking disposition than males,only children and class cadres.What′s more,those who were boarding students(OR=1.46)and whose father had bachelor degree(OR=1.43),and whose mother had junior high school degree(OR=1.28)were more likely to have higher level of critical thinking disposition than those non-boarding students or those whose parents dioln′t have bachelor degrees or junior high school degrees.Conclusion:It suggests that adolescents′critical thinking disposition is significantly heterogeneous,and gender,being an only child or not,whether or not studying in a boarding school,being a class cadre or not and educational level of parents may be important related factors.
