Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology

Gunter and LeJeune have developed and validated a Critical Thinking Scale that allows them to evaluate four levels of critical thinking competence across five dimensions of critical thinking skill in clinical students, clinical practitioners, and clinical administrators. In a series of studies, they have documented the level of critical thinking demonstrated in the completion of various clinical service delivery tasks for simulated patients. The Gunter and LeJeune work has resulted in 26 state and national conference presentations, as well as in the publication of the book, Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology.https://digitalcommons.wcupa.edu/chsfaculty_books/1007/thumbnail.jp
