Desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en dos contextos escolares

Abstract

This project is based on the epistemological paradigm of qualitative research, which provided the means to analyze the influence of scholar contexts in the development of critical thinking in the Fundación para la Actualización de la Educación school in the Tenjo municipality and the Institución Educativa Santa Ana school of the Soacha municipality, both located in the department of Cundinamarca. This research analyzes how the scholar contexts of both schools mentioned above and their pedagogic propositions generate an important influence in the development of critical thinking. Likewise, tensions, frictions and contradictions in the daily dynamics between different members from each educational institution were evidenced, which permitted the unveiling of critical thinking characteristics in each context. To conclude and as an aggregate value, a comparison between both scholar contexts was carried out, which shed light and evidenced some similarities and differences that set the tone for developing a methodological proposal that would strengthen the development of critical thinking in both scholar contexts
