Thisproject was carried out under a qualitative approach, which allowed to review the initial level of critical thinking through a previous questionnaire, following the observation during the implementation of the strategy and the evaluation using the observation guide and the checklist. The group under study was144 students, with whom, once the strategy was applied, it was established within the results that have a level of beginner thinker, being learning byprojects a useful strategy to encourage critical thinking, although there are aspects outside classroom practices that interfere with the process.
