Abstract
El pensamiento crítico es fundamental para enfrentar desafíos en el ámbito educativo. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar la influencia pensamiento crítico en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de primaria. Se adoptó un diseño cuantitativo y correlacional, aplicándose un cuestionario de 10 ítems para evaluar el pensamiento crítico y utilizando calificaciones vigesimales para medir el desempeño académico. La muestra consistió en 77 estudiantes de 3ro, 4to y 5to grado, seleccionados. Se realizaron análisis de varianza para comparar diferencias por género y según el tiempo de experiencia, además de modelos de regresión lineal para examinar la relación entre las dimensiones evaluadas. Los resultados mostraron que, aunque la mayoría se ubicó en niveles intermedios, se detectaron diferencias significativas en el desempeño directivo entre géneros y una leve tendencia respecto a la experiencia. Se concluye que el fortalecimiento del pensamiento crítico influye positivamente en el rendimiento académico, resaltando la importancia de estrategias pedagógicas muy innovadoras.
Critical thinking is fundamental to face challenges in the educational environment. The aim of the study was to identify the influence of critical thinking on the academic performance of elementary school students. A quantitative and correlational design was adopted, applying a 10-item questionnaire to assess critical thinking and using vigesimal grades to measure academic performance. The sample consisted of 77 selected 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. Analyses of variance were performed to compare differences by gender and by time of experience, in addition to linear regression models to examine the relationship between the dimensions evaluated. The results showed that, although the majority were at intermediate levels, significant differences were detected in managerial performance between genders and a slight trend with respect to experience. It is concluded that the strengthening of critical thinking positively influences academic performance, highlighting the importance of highly innovative pedagogical strategies.
