Summary

Considering the need for an intervention in the context of the Brazilian nursing education, in order to develop the skills and dispositions for critical thinking (CT), this study aims to fill this gap through a first aid course, comparing a group control and an experimental group. In this study will be used two tests, California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTID) to review arrangements for the CT, and California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) to evaluate CT skills, both marketed (Facione N, Facione PA, 2009 , 2011). Therefore, in order to facilitate the assimilation of PC skills during the course, we prepared the model of Active Teaching for Critical Thinking (MEAPC): characterized by a teaching method proposed by the author of this work, who understands the educational activity active and intentional as mobilizing higher mental processes fundamental to the development of the CT.
