words, it is fundamental to explicitly teach processes for reasoning
and arguing.
According to Facione (1990) cited by Mora Duque & Parra Peralta
(2015), the intellectual skills that constitute critical thinking are:
Interpretation, Analysis, Evaluation, Inference, Argumentation /
Explanation, Self-regulation. For each of these skills he establishes
its meaning and the sub-skills it requires or includes. Regarding
Argumentation / Explanation, it indicates that it is the enunciation of
results from personal reasoning, its justification based on conceptual,
methodological, contextual, and evidence criteria considerations, to
then present it as one's own reasoning with convincing arguments.
The following sub-skills are established as sub-skills: presentation
of results, justification of procedures and presentation of arguments.
For Cepeda Sainea (2019) the levels of argumentative competence
are: Level 1: Comprehension of arguments that constitute a simple
description of an experience. Level 2: Comprehension of arguments
in which data and a conclusion (claim) are clearly identified. Level
3: Comprehension of arguments in which data, conclusions (claim)
and justification (warrant) are clearly identified. Level 4:
Comprehension of arguments in which data, conclusions and
justifications (warrants) are identified, making use of qualifiers or
theoretical support (backing). Level 5: Comprehension of arguments
consisting of data, conclusion(s), justification(s), support(s) and
counterargument(s).
In the search for strategies to develop these levels of argumentation,
the Peruvian Ministry of Education has proposed rubrics for the
evaluation of teaching performance (MINEDU, 2017), to the extent
that teachers seek to develop criticality, creativity and reasoning in
their students (Salazar Aguirre & Cabrera, Cabrera, 2020). For this
case, the following dimensions are considered: a) to assume a
position in favor and against in relation to a topic, b) to expose the
reasons for the position assumed and c) to sustain ideas and
conclusions exposed; according to the sub-skills of argumentation
mentioned by Facione (1990) cited by. Mora Duque & Parra Peralta,
(2015).
The reviewed works contribute to the theoretical support that
highlights the development of argumentative skills and their
