Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the level of problem-solving ability, critical thinking and satisfaction level of students majoring in dental hygiene, and to identify the impact of problem-solving ability and critical thinking on major satisfaction levels. The research target collected data through a structured questionnaire for 259 students majoring in dental hygienics located in North and South Gyeongsang Province. The analysis results showed that the problem-solving ability of the study subjects was 2.56, critical accidents were 2.58, and the major satisfaction level was 2.32, and the problem-solving ability, critical thinking and major satisfaction level were positively correlated with each other. Among the lower factors of problem solving ability, solution performance and solution model were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction, and among the lower factors of critical thinking, intellectual fairness, intellectual passion/interest, and systematicness were significant factors that could improve major satisfaction. Critical thinking also significantly mediated problem solving ability and major satisfaction level (β=).2602, BCCI [.0908~.4529]). Based on the results, it is believed that dental hygiene education needs to be developed in addition to the establishment of an educational environment that can enhance the ability to solve problems and critical thinking, and that research should be continued to check its effects.

본 연구는 치위생을 전공하는 학생들의 문제해결능력과 비판적사고 및 전공만족도 수준과 관련성을 파악하고 전공만족도에 문제해결능력과 비판적사고가 매개하여 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시행하였다. 연구대상은 경상남북도에 위치한 치위생을 전공하는 259명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 분석결과 연구대상자의 문제해결능력은 2.56점, 비판적사고는 2.58점이었고, 전공만족도 수준은 2.32점으로 나타났으며, 문제해결능력과 비판적사고 및 전공만족도는 서로 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 문제해결능력의 하부요인 중 해결책수행과 해결방안모색은 전공만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 유의한 요인이었으며 비판적 사고의 하부요인 중 지적공정성, 지적열정/호기심, 체계성이 전공만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 유의한 요인으로 나타났다. 또한 비판적사고는 문제해결능력과 전공만족도를 유의하게 매개하였다(β=.2602, BCCI [.0908~.4529]). 본 연구결과를 통해 치위생 교육은 문제해결능력과 비판적 사고를 향상시켜 전공만족도를 높일 수 있는 교육환경 구축과 더불어 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하며 추후 그 효과를 확인하는 연구가 지속되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
