The above findings demonstrate the importance of actually learning and practicing critical
thinking skills, which are not innate, but rather the result of hard work and application. The place
for critical thinking skills to be learned and initially practiced, at university level, is in the
classroom with modeling, guidance and feedback from a professor who him/ herself is a critical
thinker. It is also clear that critical thinking applied within specific domains, i.e., economics and
more specifically economic history, is best learned and practiced in classes in those disciplines
led by experts in the field.
