This paper had the objective of showing the thinking flexibility diagnosis results in Pedagogy Psychology students in Guantánamo University. The study encloses and systematizes the historic antecedents and national and international theoric-methodological referents and psycho-pedagogical point of view related to the thematic. At the same time analyzes different definitions of thinking flexibility, employing different psycho pedagogical evaluation technics for the characterization in Pedagogy Psychology students' career. The diagnosis revealed a tendency to a rigid thinking in the students learning process that mediatizes the formal synthesis operations, abstraction, comparison and generalization, and difficults the students' flexible thinking development. The employed technics viability, was evidenced from the obtained results, proving the real possibility of being used by the professors for diagnosis the thinking flexibility, as a part of the students psycho-pedagogical characterization.

The solution of physical chemistry problems is one of the main ways for students to acquire knowledge and develop skills. For the teachers it is an effective way to evaluate the progress of the students in the learning of the different contents of the subject. The knowledge of the strategies used by the students to solve the problems has an extraordinary importance, since it allows the teacher to favor those that propitiate the best solution, making the teaching - learning process more efficient. This paper presents the results obtained, through a case study, in a group of third-year students of the Industrial Chemical career, which allowed isolating and characterizing the strategies used to solve the problems assigned to them. A study like this presents great potential for the diagnosis of learning in a subject and the corresponding measures to reverse the shortcomings that are detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The teaching of English as a foreign language is given an important place within the Forestry Engineering Curriculum. It is developed through a language strategy which consists in two phases: the discipline of study and as working tool. The object of the English Language Discipline is presented in three fields: English for General Purposes, English for Academic Purposes and English for Professional Purposes. This paper reveals the possibility of developing the teaching-learning process of English for Professional Purposes centred in the specialized communicative task based on the integration of the communicative and the professional skills.

The paper's purpose was to bring out the importance of dependence and independence between groupings of contents in a study plan. Theoretical analysis was made about the advantages and disadvantages for the teaching learning process of contents has the existence or not of the previously mentioned relationships. Of the analysis it was concluded that dependence and independence between groupings of contents, make easy both the teaching learning process, but also puts in the study plan, elements so much of rigidity as of flexibility, so the dependence and independence between groupings of contents, it is itself the fundamental contradiction of the contents organization process, coming out as commanding idea of the organization to satisfy most of dependences, but with flexibility, given by the existence of variants of studying the content groupings, as well as the negotiation among students and Institution of what variants to assume. It stands out inside the obtained results, to find advantages from the "not existence" of relationships between contents groupings in opposition from what is apparently and traditionally accepted and valued for every body, and it is admitted as important, only the existence of relationships, this is the existence of contents with strongly related components.

This paper approaches the most outstanding aspects of the model for the development of the Academic Administration (methodological work and formation for the teaching) of the Educational Learning Process in the Superior Education, sustained in the Information and the Communications Technologies (TIC). The use of the Information and the Communications Technologies in the Academic Administration, they facilitate the integration of resources, fellows and institutions to solve common problems, that which contributes to the improvement of the Educational Learning Process and therefore, to put it to tone with the current demands of the formation of university students in the current society of the information and the knowledge.

The paper presents the results reached in an investigation guided to determine a pedagogic model, sustained on contemporary theoretical and scientific bases scientists that it contributes from the academic to the development of the value professional responsibility, creativity and environmental care in university students of Technical Sciences. This model has been applied successfully in subjects and disciplines that are imparted in the Polytechnic Superior Institute José Antonio Echeverría from Cuba and for its generalize character it is possible to apply it in other university specialties, provided it is adapted to the peculiar characteristics of the different areas of the knowledge.

This paper approaches the most outstanding aspects in a didactic model on the dynamics of the Educational Learning Process in the Superior Education, sustained in the Information and the Communications Technologies (TIC). In the model that is presented, the definition of configurations, dimensions, links and regularities, constitute theoretical aspects that allow to reveal the essence of this dynamics with the employment of these technologies, those that constitute tools mediators in the multiple relationships that in this they take place. With the presented model it puts on in evidence that the use of the Information and the Communications Technologies in the Educational Learning Process facilitate a different dynamics, characterized by a bigger participation of the students in their learning, also facilitating that new fellows can participate in this process collaborating with the same one, helping to their continuous improvement.
