description Critical media literacy is a competence that promotes the analysis of messages and strategies used by mass media through the enhancement and implementation of critical skills. This research report describes what a process of critical analysis of advertisements revealed about a group of twenty-one tenth graders’ identity construction at a private institution in Duitama (Boyacá – Colombia). The implementation of eight task- based workshops led them to reflect about the role of advertising in their contexts and its relationship with their identity construction process. As a result, the tasks developed during the workshops guided students in understanding the role advertising plays in their daily life.

De esta manera, este reporte de investigación describe lo que un proceso de análisis crítico de anuncios publicitarios reveló acerca del proceso de construcción de identidad de veintiún estudiantes de grado décimo, en una institución privada localizada en Duitama (Boyacá – Colombia). La implementación de ocho talleres basados en tareas guió a los estudiantes hacia la reflexión sobre el rol de la publicidad en su contexto y cómo esta se relaciona con su proceso de construcción de identidad. Como resultado, las actividades desarrolladas durante los talleres ayudaron a los estudiantes a comprender el rol de la publicidad en su vida diaria.
