    The objective of this work is to describe the difficulties experienced by secondary education teachers in formulating critical questions from an expository text. For this, a survey was used, in which it was asked to formulate two critical reflection questions to 212 Peruvian teachers of the curricular area of Communication, of second grade of secondary education. This sample is nationally representative. From the answers of the teachers, a corpus of 404 “critical” questions was constructed. This corpus was analyzed from a pedagogical perspective (functionality, relevance and clarity) following a descriptive-interpretive methodology in order to characterize the metacomprehensive skills that are at the base of the questions asked. The results show several difficulties in formulating critical questions. Among the most frequent are: the presence of extratextual questions that can be answered without the need to read the text, the undifferentiation of the critical from the inferential and the literal, the lack of a purpose or objective pursued by the question, the formulation of questions based on misunderstanding of the text, the formulation of two or more questions included in one, questions with orientation marks, among others.
