Ante la creciente falta de atención y de intereses por parte de los educandos, me planteo la necesidad de educar fomentando el pensamiento crítico, así como el papel que juegan la Filosofía y en particular y las humanidades en general, para que el ser humano utilice las nuevas tecnologías plataformas y éstas le sirvan para su pleno desarrollo personal. ¿Sería preciso rescatar la filosofía y poner en práctica modelos pedagógicos de formación integral?
An important question, certainly there must be education
Suena muy bonito, y efectivamente sería optimo volver al establecimiento de formaciones integrales.
Pero de carácter necesario no tiene nada.
Of course, it is. In fact, most educationists would agree that one purpose, if not the main, of schooling is essentially to develop critical thinking. With the pervasiveness of modern technology, it is particularly important because there are so many ideas being peddled through new technologies. A person can be easily indoctrinated with very damaging views, if the person has not developed the ability to think deeply, reflectively and to question what the person reads or sees.
It mainly depends on the pedagogy. To first sight, it is reasonable to believe that critical thinking is not related to the development of technological skills, however, in those cases, the teaching content is understood as the centre of education, overlooking that holistic development of student is almost always the most important. Therefore, such activities should allow students realise of their levels of digital domain in order to establish consensus that make plausible to consciously improve their technological competencies.
Other case is when technologies are utilised as educational resources, allowing to carry out critical or creative projects. In those situations, there is a strong relationship between critical thinking and technological learning in many knowledge's fields. It is not hard to find papers about said line in Google scholar.

First of all, I don´t understand why Diego Gamboa says, that it will be good to return to an integral education, but isn´t necessary.
In regard to Hassan Hameed, I agree completly.
Finally, in response to Rolando Ángel-Alvarado, thank you very much for the recommended articles, I will take them into consideration.
