GALINDO, Montiel et al. Método de casos como estrategia didáctica para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de turismo. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2018, n.57, pp.88-110. ISSN 1851-1716.

The development of critical thinking in students is fundamental for them to develop in the workplace. The objective of this research was to identify the contribution of the case method strategy on the development of critical thinking for higher education tourism students. In order to achieve this, there was applied a mixed method approach with embedded and transactional design. The instruments were the critical thinking section of the Individual Generic Skills Test (Olivares and Wong, 2013) and an observation rubric across intervention process. An actual case was chosen to measure interpretation, analysis and evaluation skills. The population of this study was 20 students. The triangulation data analysis was performed to conclude that the case method does develop critical thinking especially on interpretation and analysis.
