Abstract

This research is based on the construction and reliability analysis of the psychopedagogical instrument Assessment of Contextualized Critical Thinking for Chilean students of higher education. Although there are several instruments that are used for the measurement of critical thinking at international level, there are no versions of them that have been translated, adapted, and validated for Chile, so the construction of a local instrument allows us to investigate more effectively about the critical thinking of Chilean students of higher education. The reagents of the instrument were constructed from the variables Analysis, Interpretation, Explanation, Inference and Evaluation. 250 higher education students from the cities of Los Angeles, Chillan and Concepción participated in the study. In addition to the instrument construction process, studies of apparent validation and content, reliability and internal consistency were performed. The results obtained determine internal reliability of the instrument.
