DETERMINANTS OF LATENT PROFILES IN HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS OF KOREAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2018, Vol 76, Issue 4
Abstract
Past research on higher-order thinking (HOT) was mainly conducted on the bases of educational context in U.S. or western countries. This research aimed to see what kinds of HOT styles actually appear in universtiy students in South Korea. The use of HOT skills were explored in Korean universtiy students and the factors influencing the classifcation were examined. 1,138 Korean university students were called to respond to Lee’s (2016) Higher-Order-Thinking-Scale for Korean University Students (HOTUS). Then, a latent profle analysis and the multinomial logistic analysis were conducted. The latent profle analysis revealed that the use of HOT skills could be classifed into four classes (i.e., a lower-order thinking class, a creative-argumentative class, an analytical-caring class, and a higher-order thinking class). Gender, year, and instructional approach were the determinants of latent profle types. However, there were no differences when measured by academic felds. Students with lower years were likely to fall under lower-order thinking class. The probability that men was classifed as a caring class was statistically signifcantly lower than that of women. Students who received lecturer-centered learning were more likely to fall under the analytical and caring class.
