Among 191 pregnant women studied, 147 (77.0%) indicated that they would opt for antenatal HIV …
Development of a Questionnaire to Measure the Level of Reflective Thinking
Many courses aim to promote reflective thinking or reflection upon practice, but there is a scarcity of readily usable instruments to determine whether students engage in reflective thinking and, if so, to what extent. This paper reports the development and testing of such an instrument. To ensure validity, the constructs measured were derived from the extensive literature on reflective thinking, particularly the writing of Mezirow. A combination…
