The New Challenges of Education in Universities

Abstract

Faced with the challenges imposed by the improvement of education in the university context, one must be clear about the transformations that take place in the scientific, technological, political, economic and social scenarios to provide a solution to the social demands. Seen this way, it is necessary to train students who, from being a simple receiver of the knowledge obtained in class, become the builder of their own learning and the teacher becomes a facilitator of the teaching-learning process, promoting reflection and inquiry by the learner. This article critically analyzes the challenges of university education, taking into account new educational trends, educational programs and the link between students and the development of their profession.
