Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2024, Vol 39, Issue 9
Abstract
[Objective:] To investigate the current situation of critical thinking abilities of masters’ degree postgraduates in ophthalmology and identify the factors affecting the critical thinking abilities. [Methods:] Using the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV), a questionnaire survey was conducted among 81 masters’degree postgraduates in ophthalmology. [Results:] The average total score of the CTDI-CV for the 81 master’s degree postgraduates in ophthalmology was 294.79±29.18, indicating a general possession of positive critical thinking abilities, yet scores in “Truth Seeking” and “Systematicity” were relatively low. There are differences in critical thinking abilities among master’s degree postgraduates in ophthalmology of various grades and degree categories. Multivariate linear regression indicates that degree categories is correlated with the critical thinking abilities of ophthalmology graduate students. [Conclusions:] The masters’ degree postgraduates in ophthalmology generally exhibit positive traits of critical thinking, yet there is room for improvement in specific areas. Postgraduate education should adopt targeted measures to cultivate the critical thinking abilities of postgraduates.
