Abstract
En el contexto educativo actual se observan dificultades para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes, aspecto crucial para la formación de ciudadanos analíticos y reflexivos. En este ámbito, se identificó que los estudiantes de tercer grado de secundaria de Monterrico Institución Educativa Aplicación, presentaban limitaciones en esta habilidad, lo que motivó la investigación titulada “Debate escolar para mejorar el pensamiento crítico”. El objetivo fue mejorar el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes de tercer grado de secundaria a partir de la aplicación del debate escolar en el área de Ciencias Sociales. La investigación se enmarcó en el enfoque cualitativo con diseño de Investigación-acción. Para su desarrollo se emplearon cuatro técnicas de investigación: la observación participante; la prueba escrita; la codificación y categorización; y la triangulación. Estas técnicas fueron respaldadas por sus respectivos instrumentos. El estudio se llevó a cabo mediante un Plan de Acción basado en cuatro hipótesis de acción que guiaron la aplicación del debate escolar como propuesta pedagógica para fortalecer el pensamiento crítico; lo que permitió concluir que la aplicación de la técnica del debate escolar mejora las habilidades del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes de tercer grado de secundaria en el área de Ciencias Sociales.

In this area, it was identified that third-year secondary school students at Monterrico Institución Educativa Aplicación had limitations in this skill, which motivated the research entitled “School debate to improve critical thinking.” The objective was to improve the critical thinking skills of third-year secondary school students through the use of school debate in the area of social sciences. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with an action research design. Four research techniques were used: participant observation; written tests; coding and categorization; and triangulation. These techniques were supported by their respective instruments. The study was carried out through an action plan based on four action hypotheses that guided the application of school debate as a pedagogical proposal to strengthen critical thinking. This allowed us to conclude that the application of the school debate technique improves critical thinking skills in third-year secondary school students in the area of social sciences.
