This paper presents Robert H. Ennis's theory of critical thinking as a more accurate proposal for the fourth industrial revolution. To achieve this objective, we start by examining the conception of critical thinking of the Ministry of National Education of Colombia (MEN), as a component of evaluation of the quality of education, identifying some assumptions. Then, Ennis's theory is presented, emphasizing his taxonomy of auxiliary abilities and dispositions, as attitudinal and ethical elements of the critical thinker. The comparison between both conceptions of critical thinking is framed in a final reflection on the challenges that generation 4.0 will face, to which a holistic view of human thought responds in a more pertinent way, which supports integral training processes in those who capabilities reflective do not isolate themselves from the behavioral and ethical.
