Abstract

Study purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in critical thinking skills among medical students.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey study recruited 392 medical students from three public universities in Saudi Arabia. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing perceptions of ChatGPT's impact on critical thinking skills. Data were analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Cronbach's alpha to evaluate reliability.

Results: Significant gender-based differences were found in perceptions of ChatGPT's efficacy, particularly in generating diverse perspectives (P = 0.0407*) and encouraging questioning (P = 0.0277*). Reflective practice perceptions varied significantly by age (P = 0.0302*), while academic backgrounds yielded significant differences across all factors assessed (P < 0.0001*). Overall, 92.6% believed integrating ChatGPT would benefit critical thinking skills. Most participants (N = 174) strongly agreed that ChatGPT improved critical thinking.

Conclusion: Integrating ChatGPT into medical education could offer valuable opportunities for fostering critical thinking abilities, albeit with the need for addressing associated challenges and ensuring inclusivity.

通过 ChatGPT 提高医科学生的批判性思维能力：医学生实证研究

研究目的：本研究旨在评估 ChatGPT 对医学生批判性思维能力的影响：这项横断面调查研究招募了来自沙特阿拉伯三所公立大学的 392 名医学生。参与者填写了一份在线问卷，评估他们对 ChatGPT 对批判性思维能力影响的看法。数据使用 SPSS 进行分析，采用描述性统计、t 检验、方差分析和 Cronbach's alpha 评估可靠性：在对 ChatGPT 的功效，尤其是在产生不同观点（P = 0.0407*）和鼓励提问（P = 0.0277*）方面的看法上，发现了显著的性别差异。反思性实践的看法因年龄而有显著差异（P = 0.0302*），而学术背景在所有评估因素中都有显著差异（P N = 174），强烈同意 ChatGPT 提高了批判性思维：将 ChatGPT 纳入医学教育可为培养批判性思维能力提供宝贵的机会，尽管需要应对相关挑战并确保包容性。
