Abstract

This research work uses the school biography of the teachers of General Basic Education of the Francisca Dávila Educational Unit of the Cuenca canton with the objective of characterizing their influence on the development of their critical thinking. The research has a qualitative approach, with a design that corresponds to the phenomenological type. Sampling is voluntary. As a technique he used the semi-structured interview and observation. The information obtained was processed in the Atlas Ti program. The results show that teachers had different experiences during their time as students, some pleasant, others unpleasant. Both types of experiences influenced their teaching experience and moved them to act in an innovative way to optimize the educational process, which implies acting with a critical position towards their experiences, which in turn confirms the use of biography as a means to the development of critical thinking.
