Resumo
El rendimiento de las habilidades de pensamiento cr.tico depende de factores motivacionales. Basandose en la teoria motivacional expectativa-valor, este trabajo analiza el efecto de los componentes motivacionales (expectativa, utilidad, logro, coste e interés) sobre el rendimiento de las habilidades de pensamiento cr.tico y estima la capacidad predictiva de estos factores sobre las habilidades de pensamiento crítico. En este estudio se aplicaron tres instrumentos a una muestra de 254 estudiantes universitarios espa.oles: la Escala de Motivaci.n para el Pensamiento Cr.tico (EMPC) y dos escalas de habilidades de pensamiento cr.tico: PENCRISAL y CCTST. Se utiliza un analisis de regresión multiple para identificar los componentes motivacionales que mejor explican el rendimiento de estas habilidades. Los resultados muestran que, independientemente de la prueba de pensamiento crítico utilizada, las variables motivacionales explican la varianza en el rendimiento de las habilidades de pensamiento crítico entre un 8% y un 17%. Finalmente, se discute la importancia de considerar estos componentes de la motivación para promover el rendimiento en estas habilidades de pensamiento crítico.
