“…In other words, CT decreases as age increases. This finding is consistent with that of the study by Hosseini and Athari (7,14), reporting that younger students had higher levels of CT and its subscales. However, no significant relationship was found between the two subscales of analysis and deductive reasoning and age.…”

“…The most striking finding of the study is that there is a negative relationship between the curricular phase and CT and their subscales. Although students' CT is expected to increase with their university years and curricular phases, the findings of the current study, in line with many studies, have shown no CT promotion in medical students during their university years (7,14,16,20,22,27). The results of the present study largely reflect those of the above-cited studies, which reported no significant difference in the CT levels of students in different years, suggesting that in most universities, the CT level of students does not change during their university studies.…”

“…The data collection tool was the California CT Questionnaire Form B, designed by Fashion in 1990, and its validity and reliability were evaluated and approved. The validity and reliability of the Persian translation of this questionnaire have been confirmed in previous studies in Iran (7,18). This questionnaire is currently one of the most common tools for measuring CT skills.…”

“…A study at the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2021) also showed that the students' CT level was low and did not change at different stages of their education (13). In addition, in two studies by Athari and Hosseini, it was reported that the CT scores of medical students decreased during their university years (7,14). Another study by Irwanto (2018) in Indonesia showed a significant difference in CT scores of students across different levels (15).…”

“…Critical thinking development in medical schools has been considered one of the missions of medical education, and medical students are expected to have high levels of CT skills. However, the related literature indicates that the level of CT in Iranian medical students is low (6,7). Medical schools seem to have no comprehensive program to develop students' CT skills.…”

Background Today’s complexities and diversity in the clinical setting have revealed the need to pay attention to strengthening critical thinking (CT) skills. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare CT skills in the residents of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. The study's statistical population included 284 residents in orthopedic, internal medicine, and surgery groups studying in the PGY1 to PGY4 years of residency. The data collection tool was the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) form B. The collected data were entered into SPSS-16 software and analyzed using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (one-way ANOVA) statistics. The significant level in all tests was considered at P < 0.05. Results 189 out of 284 residents completed and returned the questionnaire, and the response rate was 66%. The mean CT skill score of residents (M = 13.81, SD = 3.52) was lower than the optimal level (M = 17.1 SD = 5.0). Comparing the mean CT skill scores of the residents separately for the residency year revealed a significant decrease in CT scores in the 4 years. A significant difference was found between the CT skill scores in the three groups (internal medicine, general surgery, and orthopedic surgery). Conclusion The CT skills of the residents of Tehran University of Medical Sciences were generally below the optimal level. The CT score of the residents show an increase in PGY2, but a decrease in PGY3 and PGY4. Due to the emphasis of accreditation institutions, the World Federation for Medical Education, and other international educational institutions on the importance of critical thinking, it is recommended to pay more attention to the factors related to the promotion and development of CT skills in residency programs.

Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between the tendency to critical thinking and academic selfefficacy Medical Clerks and Interns Students of Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 145 medical students in medical clerks and internships in 2021. Two questionnaires including critical thinking questionnaire and students' academic self-efficacy questionnaire and demographic information were provided to the students. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics of the test (chi-square, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient) through spss. Results:The results showed that a statistically significant relationship between academic self-efficacy and students' grade point average (P>0.001, x 2 =14.38). The study of students' critical thinking in three areas of creativity, maturity and commitment showed that 124 people (85.5%) had strong critical thinking.Also, There was a statistically significant difference between the tendency to critical thinking score with female gender (P=0.038, t=2.10), older age category (P=0.016, t=2.45) and higher academic average (P>0.001, f=11.78). Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive correlation between tendency to critical thinking and academic self-efficacy (P>0.001, r=0.244) Conclusion: Due to the relationship between the tendency to critical thinking and academic self-efficacy in medical students, training and strengthening critical thinking in medical students can strengthen their professional self-efficacy and professional growth.
