Abstract
El estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la disposición hacia el pensamiento crítico y el pensamiento computacional en estudiantes universitarios de ingeniería de una universidad peruana. Se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo con alcance correlacional y diseño transversal. La población estuvo conformada por 475 estudiantes y la muestra por 298 participantes de las distintas facultades de ingeniería. Se emplearon instrumentos validados y con adecuados niveles de confiabilidad: la Critical Thinking Disposition Scale y la Computational Thinking Scale. Los resultados mostraron una correlación positiva y alta (ρ = 0.817, p < 0.01), lo que indica que los estudiantes con mayor disposición crítica, caracterizada por apertura a nuevas ideas y escepticismo reflexivo, tienden a presentar niveles más elevados de pensamiento computacional. Se concluye que fortalecer la disposición crítica en el ámbito universitario favorece el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional y promueve actitudes cognitivas esenciales para la formación integral de los futuros ingenieros.

A quantitative approach with a correlational scope and cross-sectional design was applied. The population consisted of 475 students, and the sample included 298 participants from different engineering faculties. Valid and reliable instruments were used: the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale and the Computational Thinking Scale. The results showed a positive and strong correlation (ρ = 0.817, p < 0.01), indicating that students with a higher critical disposition, characterized by openness to new ideas and reflective skepticism, tend to present higher levels of computational thinking. It is concluded that strengthening critical disposition within the university context fosters the development of computational thinking and promotes cognitive attitudes essential for the comprehensive training of future engineers.
