Abstract

This paper attempts to answer observed a lack of critical thinking in students. I conducted the study with 7 students of 2nd high school of Biology, and 28 students of 4th compulsory secondary education of Biology and Geology. To encourage critical debate has used techniques such as the use of conversation letters, two debates and a role playing. The debate and the role playing have been adapted in the context of the unit and a consensus has been reached in response to a sociocientific debate. I analyzed the observations in the classroom, the opinions of students, group discussions, questionnaires and the impressions of my mentor. The results of the educational research conclude that technical debate like a debate and a role playing are needed in the classroom, as they encourage participation, allow knowing different points of view, work content of the curriculum, improve speech and respond to sociocientific debates. And that should improve the use of conversation letters or propose other techniques to successfully argue. However, the study has limitations such as the limited experience of the students with the debate rules, and the time availability.
