Impact of Communication Medium on Critical Thinking Levels: Online vs. Face-to-Face Approach

This study compares the effects of communication medium (online vs. face-to-face) on critical thinking levels in terms of triggering exploration, integration, resolution, and other discussions. Results indicate significant differences in triggering response, exploration, and use of other mediums. Findings suggest that face-to-face discussion, abstract analysis, and group consensus enhance critical thinking. Future studies could explore visual vs. kinesthetic learning styles, teaching styles, course material, and time lapse in online course responses.

  1. THE EFFECTS OF: report Medium analysis Individual vs. consensus example vs. abstract f2f vs.online ON LEVELS OF CRITICAL THINKING INTEGRATION TRIGGERING EXPLORATION RESOLUTION OTHER

  2. DISCUSSION • MEDIUM- ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-FACE • REPORT- INDIVIDUAL SUMMARY VS. GROUP CONSENSUS SUMMARY • ANALYSIS- SPECIFIC CONCEPTS VS. BROAD CONCEPTS

  3. Dependent Variables Triggering, messages that evoke thinking about issues, that evoke a response; Exploration, messages that relate and connect with one another but are not supported; Integration, messages that build on previous messages and are supported;

  4. Dependent Variables-Cont. • Resolution, messages that develop a hypothesis and suggest ways to test and defend the hypothesis; • Other- messages that are social in character, such as “Did you watch the game last night?”

  5. TRIGGERING RESPONSE(significant diff.)

  6. Exploration(significant diff.)

  7. INTEGRATION (not significant diff.)

  8. RESOLUTION(zero responses)

  9. OTHER AND MEDIUM (significant diff.)

  10. OTHER and REPORTING OUT(significant diff.)

  11. FINDINGS • Face –to-Face Discussion, Abstract Analysis, and Group Consensus increased levels of Critical Thinking • An Increase In Discussion Generates More Critical Thinking

  12. Suggestions For Further Studies • Learning Styles- Visual Vs. Kinesthetic • Teaching Styles • Course Material • Time Lapse In Online Course Responses
