The application of the structure of intellect programme:A manufacturing facility experiment

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Using a pre-test-post-test control group experimental research design, this paper seeks to examine the effects of the 20-week structure of intellect (SOI) training programme on the critical thinking skills of a group of participants in a manufacturing facility in Ireland as measured by both Watson-Glaser critical thinking skills assessment (CTSA) and Raven's standard progressive matrices (SPM). The results demonstrate no statistically significant difference in the experimental group pre- and post-test scores on the Watson-Glaser CTSA, but the results derived from the administration of Raven's SPM were significant (p 0.003). As expected, no statistically significant difference was found between the pre- and post-test performance of the control group on either test. A number of possible reasons for the results are advanced.
