BETANCOURTH-ZAMBRANO, Sonia; MARTINEZ-DAZA, Viviana y TABARES-DIAZ, Yuranny Alejandra. Evaluation of critical thinking in Social Work students of the Atacama Region-Chile. Entramado [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp.152-164. ISSN 1900-3803. https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.1.6139.
Critical thinking is a set of skills that allow human beings to improve their thinking, self-regulate and make decisions based on what they think and believe. The present research is quantitative of descriptive type, with the objective of evaluating critical thinking in 119 students of Social Work of a state university in the north of Chile, of which 19% were men and 81% women, with a range of age between 18 and 31 years. The results indicate that 27% of students have very high critical thinking, 25% average level, 23% low level, 18% high level and 7% very low level. It also highlights that older students from public educational institutions and children of parents with postgraduate education levels have better critical thinking. In this sense, it is essential to implement in higher education programs and methodologies that stimulate in the student the development of critical thinking skills, as well as the acquisition of a reflective posture for the resolution of academic and social problems.
