Logical thinking is the ability to analyze information, establish cause-and-effect relationships, recognize patterns, and argue effectively. Furthermore, this is a horizontal skill that helps all areas of knowledge to be enriched. The sample consisted of 80 students of the experimental sciences pedagogy career belonging to the sixth to eighth semester, from the technical university of Babahoyo. According to the results obtained according to our question 3, if they considered that teachers are sufficiently trained to promote thought, and 47% said that they did consider themselves sufficiently trained, and 30% said no, and 23% told us they were in doubt. It was concluded that the majority of those surveyed believe that logical thinking is very important in the academic training process. This suggests a growing awareness of the importance of this cognitive ability in the university environment.
