The instruments used were a semi-structured interview and the field journal. The unit of work consisted of 18 eighth grade students. The results expressed that the students were encouraged to think critically, interpret, argue and analyze the 1991 Constitution, which guarantees rights, ensures peaceful coexistence and a just order; then, why is violence a constant in Colombian society? It was concluded that the application of the strategies that supported the problematizing questions helped students to achieve critical thinking through interpretations, analysis and judgments about learning situations related to violence in Colombia.
