Stupnisky, Robert H.; Renaud, Robert D.; Daniels, Lia M.; Haynes, Tara L.; Perry, Raymond P. – Research in Higher Education, 2008
While a great deal of research has examined students' critical thinking skills, less is known about students' tendencies to use these skills. Specifically, little is known about what factors contribute to students developing a disposition to think critically or what impact this disposition has on college students' academic achievement. Perceived…

Pike, Gary R. – Research in Higher Education, 1991
Analysis of data on freshman-to-senior developmental gains in 722 University of Tennessee-Knoxville students provides evidence of the advantages of structural equation modeling with latent variables and suggests that the group differences identified by traditional analysis of variance and covariance techniques may be an artifact of measurement…
