“…From a student-centered perspective and competencies-based work, it is essential for the textbooks to motivate students and stimulate their progress. Studies have shown that books play a crucial role in the development of critical thinking of students (Errington& Bubna-Litic, 2015). The notion "critical thinking" is used to describe thinking that is purposeful, reasoned and goal-directed.…”

This research aims at examining and analyzing the potential that textbooks in the field of Languages and Communication provide in achieving the competence: student as a critical thinker. The data on the textbooks is collected according to the Delphi report, which is used as a standardized report in available published research on the development of critical thinking. The file extracted from this report is used as a research tool. In Kosovo, 85 Grade-5 students were involved as participants in the report as well, while the data was collected through a survey by the questionnaire for students utilized as a research tool. Mixed method was selected for research design since it includes both quantitative and qualitative research methods, while descriptive analysis method was also used during the textbooks review. The results obtained from the research indicate that the textbooks used by Kosovo students in elementary school which contain the highest potential for critical thinking development are Reading 5and Exploring English 1, while the textbook that has the lowest potential for critical thinking, is Albanian Language 5. The most developed dimensions in these textbooks are Interpretation and Analysis, while the least developed dimensions are Assessment and Inference of knowledge.

“…The research–practice gap in management is also reflected in the criticisms directed at management textbooks that are used in universities in introduction to management courses. The textbook is still a staple requirement of business schools largely due to the benefits it brings to teaching and in the vast majority of universities ME courses are textbook based (Errington & Bubna-Litic, 2015). Program directors declare certain texts as mandatory and this provides a control mechanism ensuring that several editions of the same class and year experience the same content.…”

In the field of management, a practice-theory gap has developed and consequently, management education has been criticized for being irrelevant to the needs of stakeholders. This article argues that introduction to management courses in higher education perpetuate this gap by not teaching what managers do. These courses fail to communicate well the threshold concept of managing as accomplishing results through other people. Understanding this threshold concept would give students clearer perspectives on the distinction between doing work and managing work in organizations-between being "one of the team" and "managing the team." Using a class exercise as exemplar, the author demonstrates the use of a set of debate questions in the form of contestable statements regarding doing and managing, which are argued by students in small groups in class before final resolution in a plenary session. Students emerge from these debating sessions with a clearer definition and understanding of the core work that managers actually do. Learners also become cognizant of the need for managers to have an appropriate balance between the amount of managing This article is part of the Special Issue "Introduction to Management Courses"

“…In addition, the reading materials to be provided should be challenging texts. On this occasion, Errington, A., & Bubna-Litic, D. (2015) said the textbook could reinforce underdeveloped students" epistemology through limitations of content and position as passive recipients of an authoritative version of oversimplified knowledge". Thus, having appropriate materials, the students" academic and non-academic purposes can be improved.…”
