Enhancing critical thinking: Exploring the impact of blended learning on veterinary medicine students

Abstract

The Think4Jobs Project, available at https://think4jobs.uowm.gr/, aimed to introduce blended curricula focusing on critical thinking (CT) into apprenticeships and courses, and to evaluate the resulting changes in CT skills and dispositions (Rebelo et al., 2023). This initiative targeted the enhancement of critical thinking alongside the core knowledge proposed for the courses. In the academic year 2022/23, three courses underwent pilot testing with CT-blended curricula: Imaging (5th semester), Deontology (7th semester), and Gynecology and Obstetrics (8th semester). No sobreposition existed between students engaged in these courses.
