Abstract

The most significant challenge in the educational field is to foster the development of critical thinking in students, involving communicative, digital, mathematical, and affective competences, requiring curricular integration and methods such as teamwork, effective communication, and self-learning. The objective of this study was to propose a methodological strategy based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to develop critical thinking in the execution of interdisciplinary projects in tenth grade students of the Picoazá Educational Unit. The approach of the study was mixed, involving students, teachers, directors, and the Student Counseling Department (DECE). Information was collected through an observation guide applied in the classroom, another instrument used was the rubric, which was used to measure sub competencies, and finally, surveys were applied to parents and interviews with teachers. The results indicate an insignificant development of critical thinking through ICT and interdisciplinary projects. Feedback from teachers is vital to adjust future projects and move towards a more innovative, inclusive education focused on the integral development of students. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of addressing critical thinking through effective methodological approaches, recognizing the need for continuous improvement to achieve more significant results in educational training.
