Background Physical therapy, along with most health professions, struggles to describe clinical reasoning, despite it being a vital skill in effective patient care. This lack of a unified conceptualization of clinical reasoning leads to variable and inconsistent teaching, assessment, and research. Objective The objective was to conceptualize a broad description of physical therapists’ clinical reasoning grounded in the published literature and to unify understanding for future work related to teaching, assessment, and research. Design/Methods The design included a systematic concept analysis using Rodgers’ evolutionary methodology. A concept analysis is a research methodology in which a concept's characteristics and the relation between features of the concept are clarified. Results Based on findings in the literature, clinical reasoning in physical therapy was conceptualized as integrating cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills. It is contextual in nature and involves both therapist and client perspectives. It is adaptive, iterative, and collaborative with the intended outcome being a biopsychosocial approach to patient/client management. Limitations Although a comprehensive approach was intended, it is possible that the search methods or reduction of the literature were incomplete or key sources were mistakenly excluded. Conclusions A description of clinical reasoning in physical therapy was conceptualized, as it currently exists in representative literature. The intent is for it to contribute to the unification of an understanding of how clinical reasoning has been conceptualized to date by practitioners, academicians, and clinical educators. Substantial work remains to further develop the concept of clinical reasoning for physical therapy, including the role of movement in our reasoning in practice.

(Noone, Bunting & Hogan, 2016). It can be said that critical thinking has many benefits for individuals and thus the society in terms of raising awareness to separate the dogmas from scientific knowledge.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between democratic classroom management attitudes of teachers and critical thinking dispositions of students. The study group consisted of 530 students from public high schools located in Altındağ district of the province of Ankara. The data was collected with the use of "Democratic Classroom Management Scale" developed by Demirtaş (2004) and "Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory" developed by Akbıyık (2002) during the spring term of 2013-2014 academic year. The data were analyzed by conducting t test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analysis. In the study it was observed that students' views about teachers' democratic classroom management attitudes were at moderate level and their critical thinking dispositions were at high level. Furthermore, it was concluded that students' views regarding teachers' democratic classroom management attitudes and their critical thinking varied according to different variables. In the study, it was found that there was a low, positive and statistically significant relationship between the democratic classroom management attitudes of teachers and the critical thinking disposition of students. In addition, it was also founded that democratic classroom management attitudes of teachers was a significant predictor of the critical thinking disposition of students.

“…In some cases, it includes knowing that the person has control over these occurrences and is not overtly passive (Schoeberlein & Sheth, 2009). Mindfulness has been reported to be a desired state among language learners (Noone, Bunting & Hogan, 2016). Recent language teaching and learning methods require the learners to take an active role in the learning process, and be aware of the learning tasks and how they can manipulate them.…”
