Strategy for development and assessment of critical thinking in undergraduate management and leadership education

This paper illustrates a strategy for advancing and assessing critical thinking skills in an undergraduate business program. The 21st Century Bloom’s taxonomy is implemented to support the continuous and progressive development of critical thinking skills across the curriculum. The success of this strategy for critical thinking development is based on the effectiveness of sequentially designed instruction with a continuous process of assessing critical thinking skills development throughout all four years of the undergraduate program. This strategy can be implemented with minimal effort within any undergraduate program that is responsible for educating future entrepreneurs.

Ovaj rad ilustrira strategiju za unapređivanje i procjenu sposobnosti kritičkog razmišljanja u preddiplomskom poslovnom programu. Bloomova taksonomija 21. stoljeća provodi se kao potpora stalnom i progresivnom razvoju vještina kritičkog mišljenja kroz nastavni plan i program. Uspjeh ove strategije za razvoj kritičkog mišljenja temelji se na učinkovitosti sekvencijalno osmišljene nastave uz kontinuirani proces procjene razvoja sposobnosti kritičkog mišljenja tijekom sve četiri godine preddiplomskog programa. Ova se strategija može provesti uz minimalan napor u okviru bilo kojeg preddiplomskog programa koji je odgovoran za obrazovanje budućih poduzetnika.
