| description | This study aimed to reveal the critical thinking development process of third English level students at a Languages Institute in a public University in Colombia when using the implicit content of songs through problem-based activities. A set of problem-based activities became the mechanism to achieve the prime goal of this study. The instruments from which the data was collected were video-recordings, focus group interviews and students’ artifacts. The findings revealed three main aspects according to the purpose of the research: the teacher must set up appropriate conditions to engage students in a critical thinking process, the participants’ critical thinking process can vary according to the different perspectives and activities implemented in the classroom and songs in university contexts can be used purposefully to activate thinking in the learning process. |

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo revelar el proceso de desarrollo de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes de tercer nivel de inglés en una Universidad pública en Colombia cuando se utiliza el contenido implícito de canciones y actividades basadas en problemas. Una serie de actividades basadas en problemas se convirtió en el mecanismo para lograr el objetivo principal del estudio. Los instrumentos para la recolección de los datos fueron: videos, entrevista focalizada y artefactos de los estudiantes. Los resultados de la investigación revelaron tres aspectos principales relacionados con el propósito de la investigación: El docente debe establecer condiciones apropiadas para involucrar a los estudiantes en un proceso de pensamiento crítico. El proceso de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes puede variar según las diferentes perspectivas y actividades implementadas en el aula. Finalmente, las canciones en contextos universitarios pueden ser usadas intencionalmente para activar el pensamiento en el proceso de aprendizaje.
