A cross-sectional exploratory study was designed with 33 students, comprising 16 boys and 17 girls (Mage= 11 years, sd = .24), who answered a questionnaire that presented a set of problems. Their answers were analyzed based on a rubric system used to assess their performance in terms of their analytical, evaluative, and argumentative skills.

Como resultado se conformaron dos grupos: los de desempeño alto y los de desempeño bajo, encontrándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ellos. El análisis mostró que el grupo de alto desempeño registró un mayor rendimiento tanto en el nivel de habilidades inferenciales como críticas. Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
