Resumen
El pensamiento matemático crítico y creativo es ampliamente considerado como una competencia vital para el siglo XXI, desempeñando un papel significativo en la consecución del éxito académico. A pesar de su importancia, son pocos los estudios que han explorado cómo estas habilidades se relacionan con la preparación digital de los estudiantes. Con el fin de cerrar esta brecha, el presente estudio investigó las interconexiones entre el pensamiento crítico, el pensamiento creativo y la preparación digital en el contexto de la educación matemática. En la investigación participaron 312 estudiantes en formación que respondieron a un cuestionario en línea. Los datos se analizaron mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, lo que confirmó la validez y fiabilidad de los instrumentos de medición. Los resultados mostraron que el pensamiento crítico y creativo predecía significativamente la preparación digital, lo que, a su vez, predecía significativamente el desempeño académico. Aunque los efectos directos del pensamiento crítico y creativo sobre el desempeño académico fueron positivos, no fueron estadísticamente significativos. Estos hallazgos indican que la preparación digital interviene plenamente en la relación entre las habilidades de pensamiento de orden superior y el desempeño académico. El estudio subraya la importancia de integrar la preparación digital con el pensamiento crítico y creativo en los entornos educativos, a fin de preparar mejor a los estudiantes para las exigencias de la era digital. Por lo tanto, se alienta a las instituciones educativas a incorporar estas competencias en sus planes de estudio.
