An interventional study of Educational intervention in Thinking, sponsored by University of Sao Paulo. Completed at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 17 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-12-08.
Sponsored by University of Sao Paulo · Not applicable and Interventional
Considering the need for an intervention in the context of the Brazilian nursing education, in order to develop the skills and dispositions for critical thinking (CT), this study aims to fill this gap through a first aid course, comparing a group control and an experimental group. In this study will be used two tests, California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTID) to review arrangements for the CT, and California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) to evaluate CT skills, both marketed (Facione N, Facione PA, 2009 , 2011). Therefore, in order to facilitate the assimilation of PC skills during the course, we prepared the model of Active Teaching for Critical Thinking (MEAPC): characterized by a teaching method proposed by the author of this work, who understands the educational activity active and intentional as mobilizing higher mental processes fundamental to the development of the CT.
In Brazil there are few studies produced about Critical Thinking (CT), and the field of Brazilian nursing are unknown type of intervention research to assess / provisions initially measure and skills development / PC skills. Thus, the research question to be answered is: Students undergo an educational intervention focused on first aid care based on the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and guided by Active Teaching Model for Critical Thinking (MEAPC), have better results for PC skills and provisions compared to students learning the same content from PBL without MEAPC?
* STUDY OBJECTIVES
General Purpose:
Create, implement and evaluate an educational intervention for nursing students focusing on first aid, to develop skills and PC provisions, based on Problem Based Learning (PBL) and guided by Active Teaching Model for Critical Thinking (MEAPC) .

STUDY ASSUMPTIONS
This study will be developed based on five assumptions, explained below:
University of Sao Paulo is the lead sponsor of 1,005 studies on the registry; 90 are open to participants now.
Of its 7 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 0 (0%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Control group: to implement educational intervention focusing on first aid for developing critical thinking (CT) skills and disposition, through the Problem Based Learning (PBL), not based on the Active Learning Model for Critical Thinking (MEAPC).
Other: Educational intervention
Experimental group: to implement educational intervention focusing on first aid for developing critical thinking (CT) skills and disposition, through the Problem Based Learning (PBL), based on the Active Learning Model for Critical Thinking (MEAPC).
Other: Educational intervention
Control Group: An educational intervention focusing on first aid for the development of skills and dispositions of critical thinking. For this group will be taught the contents of first aid through the Methodology of PBL without the support MEAPC. Experimental Group: An educational intervention focusing on first aid for the development of skills and dispositions of critical thinking. For this group will be taught the contents of first aid through Methodology PBL, supported by the MEAPC.
California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST)
It is now considered the main test for measurement of critical thinking skills. The test is divided into ranges that represent the skills of critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, inference, deduction, induction and general reasoning skills. The test has 34 questions (about five questions to assess each critical thinking skill) with four possible answers listed from A to D. Students must choose only one answer that they consider relevant to the question asked. The test filling time takes around 50 minutes.
Time frame: one year
California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTID)
Have your items divided into seven scales that represent attitudes of the critical thinker: seeking the truth, open mind, analyticity, systematic, self-confidence, curiosity and cognitive maturity. The test has 75 assertions (about 11 for each assertive attitude) from which students must indicate their level of agreement or disagreement on a Likert scale of six points. The test filling time takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
Time frame: one year
Evaluation of educational intervention
The evaluation of educational intervention through knowledge of students using true and false statements test (V test or F).
Time frame: one year
Plan to share: Undecided — Data will be analyzed until June 2016, and subsequently arranged for publication.
