Isi artikel

The watson - glaser critical thinking appraisal (WGCTA) is a long - established and widely used measure. Recently, watson and glaser developed a short version, form S, as a quickly administered measure of critical thinking. This study used samples of management (n = 142) and nursing (n = 123) undergraduates to evaluate the psychometric properties and factor structure of the new form S as well as the role of gender and social desirability. The results provide only limited support for form S becaused of poor to moderate internal - consistency reliability of scores on the five subtests and poor to moderate recovery, in the confirmatory factor analysis and principal components analysis, of the five subtests underlying the critical thinking construct. Scores on form S were independent of social desirability scores and gender. Although use of form S can be recommended for some purposes, further psychometric refinement is warranted.
