Clinical Decisions

Uncertainty in the theories that provide the underpinnings of the clinical practice of podiatric biomechanics creates a dilemma: How should educators prepare students to make clinical decisions in the context of this uncertainty? Students need to be exposed to all approaches and be given the tools to make their own clinical decisions. Critical thinking involves the ability to weigh evidence, examine arguments, and construct rational bases for decisions and beliefs. Perry's model of cognitive development provides educators with one model for fostering critical thinking skills in students to guide them through the uncertainty in clinical biomechanics. This article presents the teaching philosophy that is used to teach undergraduate clinical biomechanics in the Department of Podiatry at La Trobe University, Australia.

Critical thinking, as the highest expression of thought, has become a subject of major concern in recent years in the Georgian educational field. Although advanced technologies are replacing humans in many spheres of life, people still possess the skills which can never be substituted by machines. One such skill is critical thinking. Therefore, the main purpose of education is to develop and advance this ability. Within the frames of the presented study, we aimed to investigate students’ perception of their critical thinking at Tbilisi Open Teaching University. We also aimed to determine if students saw the necessity of mastering critical thinking skills and which teaching methods they considered as more effective. Up to 500 undergraduate and postgraduate students completed the survey. Findings indicate that students perceive critical thinking skills as the most significant and essential component in their education, but see different barriers while acquiring them. It is also noteworthy to note that students’ awareness of critical thinking skills and methods has considerably increased recently.
