Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between professional learning community and critical thinking in students of an educational institution in Chiclayo - Peru. Regarding the nature of the research, it is quantitative and is framed as a basic type, 48 teachers were selected as a sample. In light of these results, we proceed to reject the null hypothesis, supporting the research hypothesis and confirming that the strength of the CAP has a positive impact on the development of critical thinking in students. The interconnection between the Professional Learning Community and Critical Thinking is not only presented as a fruitful theoretical perspective but as a tangible reality with the potential to transform education. Collaboration in the CAP nurtures the evolution of pedagogical practices, promotes professional development, and ultimately contributes to the formation of critical and participatory citizens.
