Education today demands from students critical thinking that allows them to discerning between different positions and constructing their own world views, critically and argued, in a context increasingly mediated by the virtual where autonomous training takes on relevance. This article of theoretical reflection identifies how neurodidactics and its pillars (gamification, art, technology, attention and memory), impact education from the structural with neuroarchitecture, to face-to-face learning environments and mediated by technologies. In this sense, will first address the context of basic and secondary education in Colombia, then the importance of critical thinking in contemporary times and the advances of neuroeducation for its promotion will be evidenced. Finally, some concrete recommendations will be made to strengthen the pillars of neurodidactics and critical thinking in basic and secondary education in the national context under the dynamics proposed by virtual classroom environments.
