Abstract

This research raises the link between reflective learning and critical reading is proposed as closely related processes that not only enable cognitive development but also promote citizen awareness towards the use of knowledge as a necessary resource for the construction of well-being alternatives that dimension collective life, guarantee social inclusion, the transformation of individual goals into collective ones, through the use of symmetrical dialogue and the willingness to exercise an active and competent citizenship, in which mutual commitment emerges as a result of critical interaction with a complex and changing reality, that demands the leading integration to consolidate functional relationships and the establishment of solid personal ties from which to make decisions, as well as to choose suitable alternatives that reflect democratic ideals. It is concluded that it is necessary to promote training experiences that privilege reflective learning and critical reading, as processes linked to the full exercise of citizenship.
