Desarrollo de la lectura crítica mediante talleres para generar un pensamiento crítico

Abstract

The article focuses on the importance of developing critical reading through workshops to promote critical thinking among students. The identified problem lies in the lack of critical skills in students due to limited exposure to educational resources and the exclusion of critical reading from some subjects. The objective of the research is to develop critical reading through workshops in order to foster critical thinking, encourage participants’ reflection, and promote their personal and professional development. The methodology employed was mixed, using both observational techniques and teacher surveys, with a descriptive and explanatory approach to diagnose the educational environment and evaluate the effects of the activities. The results show significant improvements in students’ reading skills, with a high percentage of students reaching the highest levels of performance in critical reading activities. In conclusion, educational workshops are effective in developing critical skills, fostering reflection, analysis, and self-evaluation, which contribute to deep and autonomous learning. These workshops improve academic performance, preparing students to actively participate in society.
