A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Critical thinking is regarded a crucial learning outcome by the APA. It is an important skill for psychologist and part of the curriculum of the psychology bachelor of the RUG. There is currently no assessment for it at the RUG. This within-subject correlational pilot study aims at contributing an open-ended measure for psychological critical thinking for psychology bachelor students at the RUG. The Groningen Psychological Critical Thinking Task (GPCTT) is an open-ended essay task, in which participants are asked to critically evaluate different materials before arriving at a conclusion. We administered the Psychological Critical Thinking Exam (PCTE) and the GPCTT, hypothesizing a strong positive correlation between the scores as both measures aim at measuring psychological critical thinking. We found no support for our hypothesis. Instead, we found a non-significant negative correlation between the scores. Possible improvements for the GPCTT are discussed.
