The present work addresses the necessary interrelationship between critical thinking and group learning, as an essential component to improve communication in university students. The diagnosis corroborates the existence of a problem that has received very little attention in previous research. At present, where the patterns of consumption impose a way of life dedicated mostly to leisure and banality among the youth, it becomes increasingly necessary the presence of the development of critical thinking encouraged and led by education. Critical thinking must be assuming not only as a form of action, but must be understing as the right and the capacity for autonomy. In higher education, the consolidation of this type of thinking is crucial because of the skills and experiences that have been acquiring individuals in their daily work and the knowledge incorporated during previous stages that contribute to the achievement of increasingly social beings.

Palabras clave : Critical thinking; group learning; communication.
