Critical interculturality and critical thinking from the Andean worldview, as a contribution to intercultural education

Abstract

The present study aims to systematize the conceptions of critical thinking, critical interculturality and Andean worldview. The theoretical research method has been used, which comprises three procedures: 1.- systematization of established knowledge, 2.- hypothetical methodological construction and 3.- epistemological reconfiguration. In the researches consulted, the results show the reaffirmation of critical thinking as an autonomous expression and manifestation and predisposition to change, the student assumes critical positions in their judgments and solidity in their statements. In relation to intercultural processes, there is evidence of the need to carry out profound transformations at the social, political and conceptual level, to exert a great impact on the understanding and deepening of cultural diversity. For its part, the Andean worldview allows us to establish differences between exogenous and endogenous elements based on social relations.
