description The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of a didactic strategy that integrates remote laboratory practices on the subject of electrical circuits to promote the development of critical thinking in engineering students from a state university in Ecuador. It is design-based research that combines both quantitative and qualitative methodologies divided into two interventions; here we present the first intervention in which a teacher and 60 subjects between 18 and 20 years of age participated. The design of the didactic strategy included readings, open and closed questions and carrying out experimental practices with a remote laboratory. Two tests were applied to determine the levels of development of critical thinking and the level of learning achievement of the studied subjects: at the beginning, prior to the design and application of the strategy, as a diagnostic evaluation and at the end, after applying the didactic strategy. Comparing the results of both tests at the beginning and at the end of the application of the didactic strategy, it was found that 33 subjects increased their level of critical thinking by at least 1 point, a result validated with the Wilcoxon test, and 38 subjects increased their level of learning achievement by at least 1 point, a result validated through the Hake gain, which corresponds to 61 % and 63 % respectively of the total sample. As a result of the application of the didactic strategy, of the 60 subjects in the sample, 23 (38 %) significantly improved both the development of critical thinking and learning.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar el efecto de una estrategia didáctica que integra practicas con laboratorio remoto en el tema de circuitos eléctricos para promover el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de ingeniería de una universidad estatal del Ecuador. Se trata de una investigación basada en diseño que combina metodologías tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa dividida en dos intervenciones; aquí se presenta la primera intervención en la que participó un docente y 60 sujetos que oscilan entre los 18 y 20 años de edad. El diseño de la estrategia didáctica incluyó lecturas, preguntas abiertas y cerradas y realización de prácticas experimentales con laboratorio remoto. Se aplicaron pruebas para determinar los niveles de desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y el nivel de logro de aprendizaje de los sujetos de estudio: al inicio, previo al diseño y a la aplicación de la estrategia, como evaluación diagnóstica y, al final, después de aplicada la estrategia didáctica. Comparando los resultados de ambas pruebas al inicio y al final de la aplicación de la estrategia didáctica, se obtuvo que 33 sujetos aumentaron en al menos 1 punto su nivel de pensamiento crítico, resultado validado con la prueba de Wilcoxon y 38 sujetos aumentaron en al menos 1 punto su nivel de logro de aprendizaje, resultado validado a través de la ganancia de Hake, lo que corresponde al 61 % y 63 % respectivamente del total de la muestra. Como resultado de la aplicación de la estrategia didáctica, de los 60 sujetos de la muestra, 23 (38 %) mejoraron significativamente tanto el desarrollo de pensamiento crítico como el aprendizaje.
