The purpose of this quasi - experimental research were to examine effects of usage
of concept mapping on critical thinking characteristics and critical thinking skills among the University of Phayao’s nursing students. Participants were 80 third-year nursing students who enrolled in the Adult Nursing II subject for academic year 2015 of the University of Phayao. Simple random sampling was used to recruit the participants. They then received teaching method using concept mapping which comprised 8 weekly, 30-minute sessions. Outcomes measures were the critical thinking characteristics questionnaire and the critical thinking skills questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test.
The results of this study revealed that after receiving the teaching and learn- ing methods with concept mapping, the nursing students’ overall post-mean score of the critical thinking characteristics and the critical thinking skills were significantly higher than the overall pre-mean score (p < .05). Considering components of critical thinking characteristics, the nursing students’ post-mean score of truth-seeking, analyticity, systematicity and critical thinking self-confidence were significantly higher than the pre-mean score (p < .05). Considering components of the critical thinking skills, the nursing students’ post-mean score of evaluation skill was significantly higher than the pre-mean score (p < .001)
