本研究的主要目的在發展一份適用於成人(含大學生)的本土化批判思考能力測驗—成人批思考技巧測驗(The Test of Critical-thinking Skills for Adults, TCTS-A),並建立常模。預試的對象包含大學生88人,研究生99人,共187人。經預試及項目分析後,TCTS-A共包含五個分測驗—辨認假設、推論、演繹及評鑑,每個分測驗包含五題,共計二十五題;填答時間為 25 分鐘。測驗中各題之鑑別指數為.21 ~ .53 ,平均值為 .35 ;難度指數為 .24~.84,平均值為.58。信度及效度分析的結果顯示:TCTS-A的試題難易適中,並具有良好的信度與效度。本研究除了發展「成人批判思考技巧測驗」之外,也進一步以大學生 191 人、研究生 135人,共計 326 人為研究對象,考驗性別及學歷的差異。研究研果發現:大學部男女學生的批判思考能力無顯著差異,而研究所男女學生在演釋及評鑑兩個分測驗上有顯著差異;在學歷的效果方面,則發現大學生與研究生的批判思考能力無顯著差異。
The purposes of this study were (a) to develop a test for measuring adults’ critical-thinking ability-“The Test of Critical-thinking Skills for Adults, TCTS-A” , and (b) to establish a scoring norm for TCTS-A. The pretest included 187 students (88 undergraduates and 99 graduates). After the pretest and item analyses, TCTS-A included 25 items and comprised five subtests: Recognition of Assumptions, Inferences, Deductions, Interpretations, and Evaluation of Arguments. The time limit for taking TCTS-A was 25 minutes. Test items in TCTS-A had an average difficulty index of .58 (ranged from .24 to .84) and an average discriminate index of .35 (ranged from .21 to .53). The results of reliability analyses and validity analyses revealed that TCTS-A had a median level of difficulty as well as a satisfactory reliability and validity. Moreover, 326 students ( 191 graduates and 135 graduates) were used to examine gender and study level differences on TCTS-A. No gender differences on TCTS-A scores were found among the undergraduates, while two gender differences on TCTS-A subtest scores were found among the graduated. As for study level differences, the graduates did not outperform the undergraduates on TCTS-A.
