According to the Ministry of Naꢀonal Educaꢀon  
(
2021), criꢀcal thinking is considered an  
intellectually acꢀve and skillful process of  
conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing  
and/or evaluaꢀng informaꢀon evidenced by  
observaꢀon, experience, reꢁecꢀon, reasoning or  
communicaꢀon leading to acꢀon.

Bermúdez (2021) states that the construcꢀon of knowledge and  
the intellectual producꢀon of the student is built through autonomous,  
parꢀcipatory and collaboraꢀve learning. Due to the above, it is necessary  
to implement innovaꢀve and creaꢀve pedagogical models that allow the  
involvement of technological means as an elementary tool in the teaching  
and learning process, thus achieving a significant transformaꢀon in the  
student.  
Figure 1 complements the previous concept, revealing thinking skills  
Creamer, 2011). According to the psychologist Nickerson (1986), criꢀcal  
(
thinking is defined as "the property or domain of a mental, psychic or  
pracꢀcal nature that individuals opt for and carry out procedures of some  
acꢀvity whose purpose is to achieve some objecꢀve, guided by knowledge  
and/or previous knowledge” (p. 410). Criꢀcal comprehension assumes  
the discourse so that the reader makes pragmaꢀc, strategic or projecꢀve  
inferences.  
In the same way, UNESCO (2021) states that, within Sustainable  
Development, learning must prepare students of all ages to find  
soluꢀons to the different problemaꢀc challenges of today and tomorrow,  
understanding that educaꢀon is transformaꢀve and allows as individuals  
they are able to make their own decisions and, at the same ꢀme, propose  
innovaꢀve ideas that benefit society; the above refers to Criꢀcal Thinking.

This research study impacts the different degree programs offered  
by the Surcolombiana University to people interested in carrying out  
professional training, especially the academic program of Literature and  
Spanish Language. Returning to the fact that there are few invesꢀgaꢀons  
carried out at the local, naꢀonal and internaꢀonal level in this field,  
which allow the strengthening of criꢀcal thinking supported by matrices  
or methodologies in accordance with new trends and what is required  
by globalizaꢀon. To conꢀnue with the criꢀcal development, the TPACK  
model proposed by Mishra and Koehler (2016) is besought, a model  
integrated by the knowledge that the teacher requires to manage ICT  
efficiently in teaching. Figure 2 presents the Content (CK), Pedagogy  
(
PK) and Technology (TK); Similarly, the TPACK approach benefits three  
knowledge bases in isolaꢀon, emphasizing the types of knowledge found  
at intersecꢀons: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological  
Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)  
that employ Technology, Pedagogy and Content, and Technological  
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) (Mkoehler, 2012).

a tendency to adopt, adapt, create and share resources in the classroom  
to complete the teaching process and learning (Jiménez Sabino & Cabero

The learning management system (LMS) is considered as a support  
tool for the teaching and learning process in the educaꢀonal field, in  
distance or blended mode. In the same way, it is a means of solving the  
different companies or educaꢀonal centers in charge of online formaꢀon  
and educaꢀon (Merriman, et al. 2016).  
ICTs or so-called Informaꢀon and Communicaꢀon Technologies  
are tools used for the processing, administraꢀon and distribuꢀon of  
informaꢀon with technological elements, such as computers, telephones,  
televisions, etc. (UNESCO, 2018). As a complement to the above, a  
virtual educaꢀonal plaꢃorm is a computer environment in which there  
are grouped and opꢀmized tools for teaching purposes. Its funcꢀon is to  
allow the creaꢀon and management of complete courses for the Internet  
without requiring deep programming knowledge.

Figure 3 shows the necessary skills for the teacher as proposed  
by UNESCO. It is important that the professional teacher involves  
technological tools in the teaching-learning process with their students,  
in an interacꢀve, dynamic, acꢀve and moꢀvaꢀng way, complying with the  
development of competencies according to the area of knowledge that  
they wish to strengthen during the course academic process.

skills for the business context, each of them being important according  
to the managers of the companies. Table 2 describes a comparison made  
in the period 2015-2020, which shows the skills and competencies that  
employees must acquire to be part of their companies.

The research approach allows verifying the behavior of the criꢀcal  
thinking variables and the applicaꢀon of the TPACK model with the aim  
of applying an online training program that develops criꢀcal thinking,  
supported by the TPACK model, to solve the difficulꢀes present in first-  
semester students of the Degree in Spanish Literature and Language,  
with a sample of 42 students, who parꢀcipated in the pre-test and post-  
test that was approved and validated by experts, with a consistency and  
reliability index according to Cronbach's alpha of 0.9. The variables used  
are described below:

During the development of the online training program, the pre-test  
and post-test are applied to undergraduate students.  
For each proposed quesꢀon, five response alternaꢀves were  
established: Totally disagree (TDS), Disagree (TD), Neither agree nor  
disagree (NDA – NDS), Agree (DA) and Totally agree (TDA).  
Table 3 shows the result of the pre-test before the online training  
program. In the case of criꢀcal thinking, 38.1% were found for the RS  
variable (Reason - Synthesize); students present shortcomings when  
understanding how the parts of a text are arꢀculated to give it a global  
meaning. In the case of the TPACK model, the variables CK (Content  
Knowledge) and PK (Pedagogical Knowledge) obtained a percentage  
result of 44.0% and 41.7% respecꢀvely, evidence that students have some  
difficulty when idenꢀfying what does criꢀcal thinking consist of and its  
main characterisꢀcs to develop it; in addiꢀon to the shortcomings when  
adapꢀng teaching styles to transformaꢀonal leaders (students), using  
different learning styles.

As part of the diagnosis made to the students of the first semester  
of the Spanish Language and Literature program, it was found that the  
parꢀcipants present shortcomings in criꢀcal thinking in the analyze-apply,  
reason-synthesize, and evaluate-validate categories.

The online training program is a good alternaꢀve to develop acꢀviꢀes  
that allow strengthening the competence in criꢀcal thinking with an  
appropriate model, in this case with the TPACK approach.  
The criteria requested in an online training program are strengthened  
with the TPACK model using synchronous and asynchronous services  
from the learning manager, improving the technological, pedagogical and  
content component, strengthening criꢀcal thinking.  
The variables related to apply, synthesize and validate are necessary in  
the development of criꢀcal thinking.  
That said, informaꢀon and communicaꢀon technologies guarantee  
innovaꢀon when using pedagogical and didacꢀc strategies by the teaching  
professional for the teaching-learning processes.  
The integraꢀon of ICT in the classroom is the responsibility of the  
professional teacher to guarantee a dynamic learning environment, with  
acꢀvemethodologies;Thestudentisafundamentalactorintheapplicaꢀon  
of ICT with collaboraꢀve, parꢀcipatory, invesꢀgaꢀve, communicaꢀve and

Taking into account what was stated by Balladeres-Burgos et al., (2022)  
and Cando et al., (2018) allows corroboraꢀng with the purpose of this  
research, where they menꢀon that the implementaꢀon of Informaꢀon  
and Communicaꢀon Technologies in the content and pedagogy allows  
the development of new digital skills in professional teaching pracꢀce,  
improving the teaching and learning process in students and, in turn, it  
is necessary for educaꢀon centers to implement innovaꢀve models that  
strengthen the teaching and learning processes of teachers and students.  
In addiꢀon, structuring the TPACK model in the micro-curricular planning  
of each subject that the teacher guides, thus guaranteeing significant  
learning experiences with ICT.  
It is important to propose the result of the research in plans, programs  
and/or strategies as part of the insꢀtuꢀonal educaꢀonal project, whose  
objecꢀve is to guarantee quality in the academic training process in  
accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as the  
responsibility of each country.

Finally, from the analysis obtained in the pre-test and post-test related  
to the analyze-apply category, a representaꢀve difference of 11.2% is  
evident; Similarly, for the category of technological knowledge (TK), there  
is a significant increase of 14.3%; Similarly, in the case of the categories  
of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and technological content  
knowledge (TCK), an increase of 19.1% was obtained, respecꢀvely. That  
is, it allows us to sustain that the online training program with the use  
of technological mediaꢀons effecꢀvely strengthens criꢀcal thinking in  
students.
