The firm is by no means the first to look for new ways of determining the talent and potential of recent graduates as employers become increasingly vocal about the supposed failures of even the top universities to ensure that those entering the workforce have obtained the status of being “job-ready”. In response, governments and policymakers around the world have emphasised the need for more practical, vocational degree courses that are closely tied to real-world experiences. But a new publication from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) argues that it is in the teaching of more generic critical thinking skills where universities can make the most difference.https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/do-universities-teach-students-think-criticallyyish2022-09-08T16:19:31+02:00critical epistemology personal thinking <span itemprop="description">Do universities teach students to think critically?
