- Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the current educational practices related to critical thinking within programmatically accredited radiography programs. The survey findings suggest that educators perceive value in teaching critical thinking, though the majority of programs do not utilize a specific critical thinking framework. The results showed that programs heavily rely on clinical experiences to facilitate critical thinking behaviors and that problem-based learning is a commonly used educational activity for promoting critical thinking. This data can be used to guide educational programs as they prepare future professionals for a changing work environment and to advance curriculum efforts towards more deliberate critical thinking learning methodologies.
