Abstract

The research seeks to improve the thinking skills and abilities of high school students in the "Bachillero" Educational Unit through the implementation of mental games. These games promote reflection, thus improving the quality of life of students in difficult times. Various mental games have been developed that stimulate different reflections on the applied topics, achieving significant learning in different teaching areas. The methodology used in the research was based on a bibliographic search with an inductive approach. Relevant information was collected to demonstrate existing and probable situations. The objective is to allow students to develop critical-reflective thinking that allows them to face everyday challenges and problems differently. This research stands out for its innovative approach, raising the level of students' thinking and overcoming the limitations of the current educational environment. It seeks to address the deficiencies that prevent students from valuing the teacher's educational actions to improve their academic performance. It is essential to highlight that this proposal implies continuous and lasting training, establishing a close relationship between the teacher and the student.
