Mental Abilities

This study investigated the effects of teaching critical thinking using different approaches. 118 university students, who were identified as being of high, average, and low mental abilities, participated in the study. Analysis confirmed that critical thinking can be taught effectively. The students of high and average mental ability reported higher scores on a critical thinking test after information and exercises on critical thinking were given to them. A different approach in teaching critical thinking would be needed with the students of low mental ability if they are to profit from the information.

Significant Difference

This study is aimed to identify the level of generic skills among final year university students in preparation towards Industrial Revolution 4.0. A total of 89 final year students from the Counseling Program had participated in this study. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the generic skills questionnaire developed by SCANS, Mohamad Sattar et al., Kamaruddin , Soft Skills (KPTM) and the Malaysian Quality Framework (MQA) . Among the variables studied are the skills of communication, critical thinking and problem solving, teamwork, continuous learning and information management, moral and ethics, flexibility, and self-confidence. Results of the study show that the level of generic skills of these final year students is good. The final year students also exhibited high generic skills particularly for the self-confident, teamwork, and moral and ethics constructs. However, the critical thinking and problem solving construct showed opposite results, indicating that there is a negative relationship between generic skills and achievement (CGPA). Apart from that, the results also showed that there is a significant difference between generic skills and gender, but there is no significant difference with achievement. Communication, critical thinking and problem solving, continuous learning and information management, and flexibility skills emerged as the most important factors for effective learning in the four contexts under consideration. Finally, this paper ended with suggestions of further initiatives to be taken to improve the generic skills of university students in order to meet the aspirations of the National Higher Education Development Plan and Industrial Revolution 4.0.

Search For Information

Introduction. Previous studies have shown that students have a high confidence in search engines. This poses a significant risk in learning processes if students do not have critical skills for document selection. This study provides clues about the quality of the information sources that university students access in their internet searches, and highlights critical thinking as a key competence in personalised information searches. Method. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a sample of fifty-eight university students who solved four information tasks. The sources were categorised according to the quality of their editorial process. Analysis. We stress the critical thinking in a realistic study regarding to both the interactions of university students with not enough validated sources and the type of information task working with. Results. The main finding of this study is that students mostly access to sources with a corporate publisher (52.9%) and alternative sources (40%). Consequently, the publisher type of the source is not related to the ranking elaboration. Conclusions. The greater access to information does not ensure the quality or veracity of it, confirming the need to promote the development of critical thinking.
