Resumen
ABSTRACT: This action research project reports on a study carried out in a public school in Medellín, Colombia. Its main objective is to analyze the effectiveness of pop culture artifacts to foster critical thinking in an eleventh-grade classroom. To conduct this research some data collection instruments were employed such as work samples, journals, focus groups, and a survey. Findings suggest that the use of pop culture artifacts is effective to foster students’ critical thinking through critical discussion, evaluation, and reflection. Also, it benefits students’ empowerment to comment and share their points of view.
