Inferencia y comprensión a través del método socrático hacia una educación para la paz

Abstract

This action research project aims to explore the development of the critical thinking skills of inference and comprehension through the implementation of the Peace Education Approach with classroom materials and content framed under the Socratic Method as a tool for developing such critical thinking skills and social skills at the same time in 9th graders at a school in Bogotá. The study suggests that the use of questioning techniques combined with the Peace Education Approach develops in students their social and critical thinking skills, which were reflected on the proposed tasks and allowed them to examine their reality critically and become propositive and argumentative in the construction of their opinions and the performance of their actions to help overcome violence in their contexts.
