The article, "Become a Better Teacher: Five Steps in the Direction of Critical Thinking," will appear in the Research in Higher Education Journal. It was written by Dr. Barbara Limbach, CSC business professor, Dr. Wendy Waugh, CSC management information systems professor, and Dr. Robert Duron, former CSC associate professor of accounting who is a faculty member at Husson University in Bangor, Maine.

The paper identifies an interdisciplinary five-step framework built on existing theory and best practices in cognitive development. Limbach said the framework provides teachers a useful means to move their lecture-based courses toward a more active learning environment that is more enjoyable for them and their students.

For their model the professors used accounting education, in which critical thinking has often been cited as necessary but difficult to implement.
