Twenty-second International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities

Abstract

Through Critical thinking and pedagogical mediations of reflective nature it is sought to implant in students of University level a political attitude which is one of the traits of the personality of young people lately that is absent in a regular basis. With the implementation of mediations which help students to reflect upon their learning and the phenomena affecting the society they live in, it is intended to provide not only motivation but also the means for developing features of the communicative competence that belong to the side of the critical thinking and political attitude construction. When students are directed to the point of creating language using their life experience, they feel more important than in a regular master class that only stands out the most academic suited students, leaving the ones with low academic development aside, creating a void for those who take for granted that the low grades determine the rest of their professional and personal build-up process.
