This paper aims to demonstrate the influence of an intervention program for the development of critical thinking on the acquisition of strategic competence of translation students in a university in Lima. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control and experimental groups was carried out. The object of study was an intervention program for the development of critical thinking applied to the experimental group. The findings showed that the activities designed for the development of critical thinking significantly influenced strategic competence, which was measured through the student’s ability to analyze problems, evaluate translations and assess their own translations.

Keywords : critical thinking; strategic competence; problem solving; translation quality assessment.
