Abstract: (2143 Views)
The purpose of present study was to examine the structural relationship between perceived transformational teaching and critical thinking mediated by motivational beliefs (self-efficacy, intrinsic interest and test anxiety) among university students. The population in this study was all of the undergraduate students of Psychology of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Iran, in 2019-2020 academic year. From this population 384 students were selected using random stratified sampling method. The research instruments were Transformational Teaching Questionnaire (TTQ), The California Critical Thinking Disposition (CCTD) questionnaire and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The proposed model of the relationships between variables was tested using path analysis. According to results, proposed model had an acceptable fitness regarding fitness indices. In general, the results showed that perceived transformational teaching are effective both directly and indirectly through self-efficacy, intrinsic interest and test anxiety with critical thinking disposition.
