Abstract

The objective of this article is to determine the relationship between communication skills and critical thinking in first year undergraduate students of a Peruvian public university. A correlational study was developed. The sample consisted of 545 subjects (287 males and 258 females), with an average age of 19 years and drawn from the first cycle of 8 professional careers of the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences of a Peruvian public university. The instruments used were the 27-question communication skills questionnaire and the 34-question critical thinking questionnaire, duly validated. The results showed a correlation between the variables and the Spearman nonparametric test, which is applicable to ordinal variables, was applied. Finally, it is concluded that there is a significant and high relationship between both variables.
