چکیده

هدف از انجام این پژوهش، طراحی و اعتباریابی الگویی برای تقویت مهارتهای تفکر انتقادی دانشجویان در محیط یادگیری برخط بود. روش تحقیق مورد استفاده از نوع روش آمیخته و شامل تحلیل محتوای کیفی از نوع قیاسی و تحقیق پیمایشی بود. جامعه آماری از منظر تحلیل محتوای قیاسی کلیه‌ منابع و مقالات معتبر علمی نمایه شده در پایگاه‌های اطلاعاتی بود. روش نمونه‌گیری تحلیل محتوای قیاسی روش انتخاب هدفمند بود. جامعه‌ آماری از منظر تحقیق پیمایشی نیز کلیه‌ی متخصصان حوزه‌ی تکنولوژی آموزشی بودند. روش نمونه‌گیری در تحقیق پیمایشی روش تصادفی ساده بود. برای این منظور از جامعه‌ی آماری 20 نفر به شکل نمونه‌ی در دسترس انتخاب شدند. ابزار اندازه‌گیری این پژوهش در بخش پیمایش یک پرسشنامه محقق ساخته بود که روایی آن به تایید 7 نفر از متخصصان حوزه‌ی تکنولوژی آموزشی رسید. برای تعیین پایایی نیز از روش بازآزمایی استفاده شد. ضریب همبستگی به دست آمده (94/0) بین دو آزمون در سطح 01/0 معنادار بود. یافته‌های تحقیق نشان داد که عناصر الگوی پیشنهادی برای تقویت مهارتهای تفکر انتقادی دانشجویان در محیط یادگیری برخط شامل ارائه مساله و رخدادهای تهییج کننده، کاوش و جستجو در ماهیت مساله، مباحثه و استدلال در مورد مساله‌ی ارائه شده، ارائه راه‌حل، حضور شناختی و حضور اجتماعی است. همچنین، بر اساس عناصر به دست آمده نحوه‌ی طراحی الگوی پیشنهادی مورد نظر تهیه و تدوین شد. در نهایت عناصر و نحوه‌ی طراحی الگوی پیشنهادی از نظر 20 متخصص حوزه‌ی تکنولوژی آموزشی اعتباربخشی گردید.

چکیده [English]

Introduction
Regarding the affordances of an online learning environments, it is expected that such environments facilitate teaching and learning processes and increase higher-order thinking skills, especially critical thinking skills. However, evidence suggests that many of online learning courses are designed in ways that do not carry the required capacity to enhance higher order thinking skills such as t critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study is to design and validate a model for reinforcing students' critical thinking skills in an online learning environment.


Method
The present study uses a mixed-method research approach including content analysis and survey. The content analysis focused on a corpus of all research articles indexed in the database. We used a targeted sampling method for inclusion. For survey research we used a convenient sampling method to select among the body of experts in the field of instructional technology. The sample size included 20 participants.The instrument used for the survey was developed by the researcher and was validated using a expert panel of seven experts in the field of instructional technology. The reliability of the tool was ensured using a test-retest method. The correlation coefficient (0.94) between the two tests was significant at the level of p = 0.01.

Results
The findings of the research indicated that the proposed model elements for reinforcement the students' critical thinking skills in the online learning environment, including the presentation of the problem and the stimulating events, explored and searched the nature of the problem, the discussion, and argumentation about the proposed problem, the presentation of the solution, cognitive presence and social presence. Guided by the observed themes, we also came up with proposed design model. Finally, the themes were cross validated in consultation with a subgroup of 20 experts in the field of educational technology.

Discussion
Based on the results of the present study, the presentation of the problem or stimulating events should happen in the early phase of the instructional design model. In the next stage, the learning environment should provide an opportunity for students to explore the nature of the problem. This stage should be followed by an opportunity for learners to discuss different sides of the problem and ultimately present their solutions and reasoning that comes with it. Both social and teaching presence are elements that are present throughout the steps and processes of reinforcement critical thinking skills in online learning environments. The two aspects are important in design of learning environment because they create not only an affective bond for students but also balance and systematize the process of learning activities.
The results of the present study indicate that online learning environments, if designed systematically and following sound design principles as shown in the present study, have the very potential to enhance critical thinking skills.
