Instrucción en pensamiento crítico: influencia de los materiales en la motivación y el rendimiento

Abstract

The goals proposed in this article are to improve the critical thinking skills learning process through education and assess whether the materials used in the ARDESOS program and the DIAPROVE methodology influence performance in critical thinking and motivation. To achieve these goals, different materials for each program were developed in order to improve the effectiveness of critical thinking from the DIAPROVE technique. The influence of the different approaches to intervention in motivation and performance in critical thinking skills was also evaluated. The critical thinking results show that the DIAPROVE methodology obtained better scores than ARDESOS in most of the PENCRISAL test factors and the performance factors in the subject. However, in motivation the DIAPROVE group only gets better results than ARDESOS in one of the motivation factors.
