Abstract

PURPOSE
This study aimed to examine the effects of team-based learning using concept mapping on critical thinking disposition and metacognition on college of nursing students.
METHODS
A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group was provided team-based learning using concept mapping. The control group was provided team-based learning. A total of 77 nursing students participated.
RESULTS
The experimental group increased significantly in critical thinking, however, there were no significant differences in critical thinking or metacognition between the two groups. The four essential themes extracted were as follows: (1) Expanding the scope of thinking; (2) Strengthening learning competency; (3) Enhancing communication skill; and (4) Burden of new learning method.
CONCLUSION
