ARGUMENTATIVE STRATEGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN ENGINEERING STUDENTS

Abstract

This study allowed to contribute and systematize the knowledge on the subject of the effects of the argumentative strategy in the development of critical thinking skills in engineering students, which will also allow the realization of other investigations. This research acquires significant relevance and topicality because we worked with modern theoretical constructs derived from the models of argumentation, critical thinking. The objective of this document was tofinalize the degree of relationship between argumentative strategies and critical thinking skills in Engineering students 2022. The results of this research constitute a reference for subsequent research at different levels on the effects of argumentative strategy on the development of critical thinking skills in engineering students from public universities in the rest of the country. Among the main findings, it was determined that between argumentative strategies and critical thinking skills there is a directly proportional relationship, of small to moderate effect in engineering students.
