Complex Thinking in Interdisciplinarity: An Exploratory Study in Latin American Population

Abstract

In the context of Latin America, there are few studies that analyze complex thinking linked to disciplinary analysis. In this sense, locating the characteristics promoted by the different disciplines presents an opportunity to scale higher order competencies such as those of complex thinking. This article aims to show the results of a study that seeks to show the perception of complex thinking competence in young university students in the Latin American context. A multivariate descriptive statistical analysis has been carried out. Among the main findings we identified that there is a higher degree of perception of male students in Latin America on complex thinking competence and that this pattern is found in most of the countries in the sample.
