Abstract:
Nowadays critical thinking is as fundamental as the other skills, a skill of daily use
such as reading, speaking, writing, and listening, helping to develop the analytical, critical
thinking of each student, thus creating their own definitions, ideas, thoughts, and arguments.
The main objective of this research project is to analyze the benefits of developing
critical thinking through Bloom's taxonomy, focusing on the different ways of developing
critical thinking skills such as making intelligent decisions, understanding about their actions,
etc. Critical thinking covers some topics such as metacognition, argumentation, training, and
possible solutions to problems. Through this project, it is known what critical thinking is,
which great philosophers make known this ability and how it was implemented at the time, it
is also known strategies to develop it, how it influences motivation and the different learning
styles that exist within the classroom. To carry out this research, it was necessary to use two
determined methods of methodology, which were the qualitative method and the
phenomenological method, since from these methods it is possible to obtain very precise and
necessary information to carry out the research project.
On the other hand, the techniques used were through a focus group since we worked
with a reasonable amount to collect the necessary information through instruments such as a
small questionnaire with multiple questions. Then the respective analysis of the research data
was carried out, where the different methods, strategies and activities used by teachers to
promote the development of critical thinking are made known.
