Abstract

The complexity of the current world and the new challenges that university students have to face require new insights into why, how and where to direct educational work in universities. New theoretical assumptions are exposed - methodologies that demand the use of new methods, styles, forms and ways to achieve the quality of this work. Universidad de Oriente (UO) designs and systematically updates educational strategies from the university level, faculties, careers, academic years and groups, in tune with the social reality of the 21st century and the improvement facing Cuban Higher Education, appreciating strengths. Considerations, guidelines and pedagogical projections are offered with the intention of continuing to achieve transformations in the educational work in favor of the integral formation of the students.
