Critical Thinking: A Tool for Personal Development

This course unit provides a pedagogical space focused on developing critical thinking. It is based on constructive doubt and aims to help students refine their reasoning, articulate well-founded judgments, and strengthen intellectual autonomy. The course integrates two complementary dimensions: personal development of the teacher—through themes such as self-knowledge, project building, problem analysis, time and stress management, and decision-making—and support for learners’ personal development by teaching transferable techniques that foster critical thinking. Through active methods of questioning, analysis, prioritization, deconstruction of assumptions, and comparison, the unit aims to strengthen students’ self-respect, awareness of their competencies, and capacity to engage authentically and constructively on both personal and professional levels.
