Abstract
Objective: This study aimed at describing and correlating critical thinking skills and metacognitive awareness in a sample of medical students of a Medicine Program in the city of Manizales (Colombia), during the second semester of 2019. Method: Descriptive, correlational cross-section study with a sample of 42 students from the Medicine program at Universidad de Manizales who were enrolled during the first semester of 2019 (22 from the first semester and 20 from the last semester), and that voluntarily participated in this research. The instruments used in the study were the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST-N) and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) in their Spanish version Results: In relation to metacognitive awareness, the highest averages were evidenced in conditional knowledge and debugging but lowest performance was obtained at the planning skill level. For the evaluation of critical thinking, the highest averages were presented in the processes of level of induction and inference processes, and the lowest averages were in the measures of arithmetic, evaluation, and explanation. All the correlations between the categories of metacognitive awareness, critical thinking, and the crossing between the two themes were positive. Conclusions: A correlation between critical thinking and metacognitive awareness was evidenced, as well as the need to strengthen some of these thinking skills in medical students, especially in relation to planning, evaluation, explanation and arithmetic.
