Abstract
Introduction
Despite the importance of critical thinking in discourses or skills frameworks, this concept remains challenging to identify. Although the theoretical foundations are solid, the phenomenon is not easily quantified.
Objective
This article aims to contribute to developing French versions of critical thinking measurement tools by testing translated skills (HCTA; Halpern, 2010) and dispositions (CriTT; Stupple et al., 2017) tests in three French-speaking nations in Europe and America.
Methodology
The validity study of instruments scores was done in two steps, in a preliminary collection (n = 102) with principal component analyses, and in a main collection in Wallonia, France and Quebec (n = 245) with confirmatory factorial analyses.
Results
The proposed scales have positive metric qualities, particularly in terms of score reliability (respectively ωt = .78, α = .66 and ωt = .92, α = .92).
Conclusion
It allows us to apprehend them as solid alternatives to existing scales. We conclude this article by discussing their respective limitations.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
