Resumen

Tradicionalmente se ha considerado que el pensamiento crítico requiere de un conjunto de habilidades cognitivas y disposiciones. El pre-sente trabajo apoya la opinión de algunos teóricos que han propuesto que éstos podrían no ser los únicos ingredientes necesarios para mejorar el pensamiento crítico. Más específicamente, nuevos factores podrían ser necesarios para llegar a pensar críticamente, tales como: lograr una com-prensión epistemológica del pensamiento crítico, haber alcanzado un determinado nivel de desarrollo epistemológico, o las creencias que se mantienen sobre el pensamiento. Estos nuevos componentes son analiza-dos conceptual e instruccionalmente, así como la conveniencia de hacer un tratamiento más profundo de las disposiciones.
