Hilary Wason, Melodi Guilbault

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential for both academic achievement and future professional employment in both the UK and the US. University education should empower students to proactively participate in their studies and develop effective skills for lifelong learning. However, students need support to demonstrate a truly critical approach in their work, for attainment in assessment and employability success. The objective of this session is to discuss how the authors are collaboratively developing innovative curricula to embed the attainment of critical thinking skills within Business disciplines at Kingston Business School and the New Jersey Institute of Technology‘s Tuchman School of Management.
