Employers frequently point to a noticeable gap between the competencies of young professionals and the actual needs of the labor market. Current societal shifts indicate that specific professional knowledge and skills are no longer sufficient to solve emerging, complex problems and tasks. Attention must be shifted toward the development of social skills, which include complex thinking abilities, interpersonal communication, collaboration skills, personal motivation, lifelong learning, and situational management\u2014all of which help individuals function successfully in a dynamic and unpredictable professional world.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Across European countries, growing concern regarding these issues is linked to the inclusion of critical thinking as a subject in higher education curricula. This involves efforts to change teaching methods, collaborate more closely with experts and companies on curriculum reform, and redefine learning outcomes. Despite being emphasized by educational policymakers, critical thinking development is often not effectively integrated into higher education programs, which fundamentally prioritize rote memorization, information retrieval, and the transmission of data. Consequently, the discipline of teaching critical thinking remains difficult to define, and educators often struggle with how to teach it or how to measure the effectiveness of their methods.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Recent research highlights the need to seek new methods for fostering critical thinking by strengthening teacher training and professional development. This includes focusing on course content and implementation, ensuring a supportive environment, and defining quality assurance criteria for critical thinking education.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">This project perfectly aligns with and contributes to the &#8220;Future of Jobs&#8221; identified by the World Economic Forum (2016). The top three essential skills\u2014complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity\u2014are regarded as priorities by the partners of this project.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT AIM<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Fostering critical thinking in European higher education to ensure academic quality and relevance to labor market demands and challenges.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT OBJECTIVES<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\">To develop guidelines for integrating critical thinking development into the curricula of diverse European higher education institutions, focusing on defined critical thinking learning outcomes.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\">To contribute to the modernization of teaching in European higher education institutions; to prepare recommendations and strategies for critical thinking teaching and learning in the training of specialists across various fields, and to promote the professional development of educators.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\">To establish quality criteria for critical thinking development in higher education, contributing to the reform of curricula within European higher education institutions.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\">To create a network of European higher education institutions, businesses, and non-governmental organizations, and to disseminate best practices, recommendations, quality criteria, and research data on critical thinking development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT TARGET GROUPS<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Higher education institutions, educators, students, non-governmental organizations, business organizations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;yes&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14630&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"collapsible-header\" tabindex=\"0\">A European Collection of the Critical Thinking Skills and Dispositions Needed in Different Professional Fields for the 21st Century (2018)<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This document provides an overall analysis of the understanding of Critical Thinking (CT) by 189 employers of different professional fields (Biomedicine, STEM, Social Sciences and Humanities), and establishes similarities and differences in its expression, need and practical application at the workplace.

To contribute to the achievement of this goal, the project partners have developed this protocol. The protocol is designed to support the development of critical thinking within higher education institutions, highlighting essential elements related to the cultivation and promotion of critical thinking in higher education.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The protocol is based on two fundamental premises: 1) students will develop and refine their critical thinking by engaging in appropriate and purposefully organized critical thinking activities; 2) the strength and quality of critical thinking lie in its continuous practice and improvement.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The target group for this protocol is higher education staff responsible for designing study programs and educating students. Naturally, this document may also be of interest to others involved in or interested in higher education and critical thinking. The protocol consists of five parts. The first part introduces the problem, while the second presents theoretical perspectives and assumptions. The third part is dedicated to presenting possibilities for modeling critical thinking. The fourth part describes the expression of critical thinking across different fields of study and disciplines. The fifth part focuses on the protocol itself \u2013 explaining the concept behind its creation and the expectations for its future application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sdcentras.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CRITHINKEDU_O4-ebook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sdcentras.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CRITHINKEDU_O4_LT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LT<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;yes&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7567&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>Studies in Higher Education, Volume 44, Issue 5 (2019)<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<article id=\"post-4762\" class=\"post-4762 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-leidiniai\">\n<div class=\"post_content_holder\">\n<div class=\"post_text\">\n<div class=\"post_text_inner\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">A special issue of the journal <i data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"31\">Studies in Higher Education<\/i>, based on the outcomes of the CRITHINKEDU project.
