ROJAS-ROJAS, William. Reading, Writing, and Critical Thought: A Challenge for Accounting Education. Cuad. Contab. [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.41, pp.307-328. ISSN 0123-1472.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.cc16-41.lpcd.

This texts defends education for critical thought based on a dissertation field that links human dignity with the development of the accounting discipline. Based on a documentary work and context-based problem formulation, we examine how hyper-modern thought-lifestyle cast aside the power of critical reasoning as a fundamental means to promote ethical-political projects. The aim of said projects would be the acknowledgement of thousands of human beings that are currently excluded and rejected by and from the postulates of the globalized neoli-beral model. We describe how the socio-economic contradictions of the prevailing development model demand that the Public Accounting programs re-think their Educational Projects (EP) to discover how can they go and meet their students to assist them in their training process. We conclude that simple functional reading and writing, divorced from critical thinking, leads to an emergency of the computatõris globalizzatus, which cannot easily articulate its knowledge and professional expertise to the needs of its society. We conclude by proposing several recommendations leading to make easier the reform of the EP and the development of accounting master's degrees.
