Resumen

El presente estudio tuvo como propósito obtener evidencia acerca del efecto de un programa de capacitación para profesores de una institución de educación superior del sureste de México: la Universidad del Mayab (Unimayab). El grupo experimental se conformó con los estudiantes de nueve profesores que durante el semestre primavera de 2003, dieron algún curso en la Unimayab (n = 219). Se invitaron a otros nueve grupos paralelos a participar como grupo de control (n = 218). Al principio y al fin del semestre los participantes contestaron la prueba California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST). Los resultados muestran diferencias significativos en las dimensiones que mide esta prueba, a excepción de la habilidad de análisis. Las observaciones de las prácticas docentes también mostraron mejores estrategias en los maestros que habían tomado el programa de capacitación. Se concluye que la capacitación docente puede mejorar el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes, y se discuten las limitaciones del estudio y las implicaciones para el entrenamiento de profesores a nivel licenciatura.
