| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to confirm the usability of the Web based PBL program to critical thinking in nursing education.
First, we assessed the reliability and validity of a critical thinking disposition scale for nursing education. The scale consists of 15-items in five subscales (skeptical attitude, cooperative attitude, perseverance, inquisitive mind, and confidence in logical thinking). The Cranach's coefficient alpha was 0.49 as a whole. A significant positive correlation was seen between the external scales and a critical thinking disposition scale. We used this scale for assessment of the Web based PBL program.
Second, we assessed the critical thinking among nursing students between PBL learning with and without use of the web by comparison of change in scale's value before and after PBL learning. However, small sample size is limitation in this study. Moreover, development of ICT operational system is also another major issue in Web based PBL program.
