Abstract

There is a big concern for the absence of the critical attitude and low levels of reading in students. These voices are regularly heard: children and young people do not read and if they read do it too poorly. Many people hold responsible to environment factors like: bad reading habits, or external factors such as lighting, posture, bad materials, among others. In fact, these can be intervened and corrected. This work is aiming at generating the critical thinking from the analysis of fairy tales in its original and alternate versions. It is rely on the language and social sciences teachers from Liceo Colombia school, located at 54C-40 138_street in Colina Campestre neighborhood in Bogotá city, and directed towards fifth grade students. The process was done applying the action-research method, through the execution of several techniques that allow results evaluation like (“Saber” test, "avancemos" test, interviews, surveys, field journals and application workshops). The results indicated that, this educational strategy contributes to promote the students critical thinking by means of reading. It is concluded that teachers should give reading patterns to students like: interest, attention, assumption, synthesis, also generate a training process in which they see the importance of reading, and in this way, strengthen reading and critical thinking, understood in the reading process, as a thinking way that evaluates ideas and information, in order to decide what to believe and what to accept. Critical thinking, references to a critical reading that is active, proactive, reflects, questions, and analyzes. It means a reading as a reader willingness, to try to get the text deep meaning, the ideas which are not seen, the foundations, reasoning and the ideology that underlies in it. This makes possible to take into account various explanations and do not take anything for granted; but develop suspicion and questioning
