Challenges of Didactics in Cuban Higher Education. Trends and Paradigms (Review).

Abstract

 This article contains a bibliographic study which examines, discusses and synthetizes the information revealed by prestigious Cuban researchers on paradigms and their manifestation in the current trends of Didactics, following a developmental conception of higher education. Its objective is to make a compendium on this knowledge, which appears in the disseminated explored literature, so necessary for teachers and the successful development of their professional practice. Theoretical methods were used: documentary analysis, synthetic- analytic, hermeneutic-dialectic and inductive-deductive, as well as of information processing and analysis techniques: descriptive analysis and analytic discussion. This compilation includes a characterization of the most significant paradigms reported in scientific literature and reveals the state of the problem in the pedagogical practice at the University of Granma. The proposal aims to promote the exchange of opinions, as well as the open and respectful discussion, which favors the individual development of professionals in practice and in training, helping teachers to adopt a theoretical-methodological position that guides them in their daily work, in the pursuit of a continuous improvement of the integral formation of the professional.
