Abstract
This research study investigates the influence of
independent variables on students’ critical
reflection scores in a library instruction
program. A student sample (n= 321), enrolled in
English Composition II courses, participated in a
four-session library instruction curriculum.
Brookfield’s Critical Incident Questionnaire was
used as the main instrument to collect critical
reflection data, and the Sparks-Langer et al.
Framework for Reflective Thinking was used as a
scoring instrument. Multiple regression analysis
was conducted on 4 major theoretical constructs
(academic achievement, semester, gender, age)
and 6 theoretical assumptions (year in school,
previous library instruction, transfer student,
librarian, day of week, and time of day).
Significance was found for academic
achievement (p< 0.01), gender (p< 0.001),
semester (p< 0.001), and year in school
(p< 0.05) as predictors of critical reflection.
