The objective of the research is to generate a proposal on the Pyramid of Critical and Metacognitive Thinking (PPCM) as a pedagogical resource in the teaching-learning process for students at the Madre Laura Educational Institution in the municipality of Tierralta, department of Córdoba, Colombia. Interviews were conducted with key informants, who for this study were 10 teachers. Critical thinking is a fundamental skill in the educational process, as it allows students to analyse, reflect and make decisions in a conscious and informed manner. In this sense, the Pyramid of Critical-Metacognitive Thinking (PPCM) is presented as a pedagogical tool that facilitates learning by organising and structuring ideas in a clear and understandable way. This strategy helps students to identify concepts, establish cause and effect relationships, analyse problems from different perspectives (social, political, economic, environmental, among others) and propose creative and viable solutions.
