The goal of this study was to explore the impact that critical thinking learning activities had on the transference of knowledge and skills into the professional lives of former students who graduated from an Associate in Science Degree-Health Information Management program. Method: This phenomenological qualitative study was conducted with five purposively selected participants based upon specific pre-established criteria, including, graduation from the Health Information Management-Associate Degree Program from January of 2000 through December of 2006 and experienced a critical thinking cumulative learning activity in their core management course during enrollment in the program. The participants, through face-to-face interviews, described their experiences, perceptions, and interpretations on the impact that a cumulative learning activity contributed to their ability to transfer the critical thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation into their professional lives. Data was analyzed utilizing the inductive analysis approach by Rubin and Rubin (2005) and incorporation of the modified Van Kaam analysis (1959) method. Utilization of an interpretative approach to content (Berg, 2004) uncovered three themes: Participants\u2019 were confident in their ability to organize major functions in a Health Information Management (HIM) department; participants were confident in their ability to integrate multiple avenues of information for collaboration in an HIM department; and, participants acknowledged that it was not only important to interpret information, but that fully reading all given information was a critical factor in their interpretation. Major Findings: Health Information Management graduates believed that the critical thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation are vital for the transfer of knowledge to workplace skills. The participants confirmed that the cumulative project helped increase their skill level in their current jobs. In addition, the participants\u2019 emphasized critical thinking as a vital component to a graduate\u2019s success in the workforce. The results of this study indicated a need for current educational curricula restructure, training, assessment, and embedding critical thinking throughout educational environments, and bridge the gap between knowledge and application. Finding a way to close the gap between education and industry will require an alignment of educational domains and workforce expectations." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "LB2395.35.C65 2008" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2008" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "LB2395.35.C65 2008_CollarShirley" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001360/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Collar, Shirley A." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2008.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 105-113)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "x, 129 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Shirley A.
