Critical Thinking? Neither Critical nor Thinking

Abstract

This reflection article states that one of the responsibilities assigned to the pupils is contributing to critical thinking development, which is contemplated in the General law for Education 115th of 1994. For that,according to a numerous academic production, there has been a possibility for improving the levels of reading comprehension and writing competence in brief periods. But this ends up being contradictory whencontrasted with the recent scores obtained in the PISA texts of 2018 and the ways of facing the mandatory confinement by the Colombian population, which shows a scarce correspondence with the said intellectual capacity. That is why those results are a mockery for something that requires much more than reading and writing.
