This paper deals with a study about the knowledge the students had when beginning the agronomy studies during the 2008-2009 course. The measurements are based on the theoretical grounds of the integration of content, as a primordial element in the agronomist engineer formation. In the opinion of the authors of this paper, the integration of contents goes beyond the teaching-learning process which supports it and directly influences on the content integrated appropriation results as a consequence of the learning integrated management. The study includes an integrated knowledge test; its results show the students entry level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to achieve a more education, it is a priority in Cuba to know the behavior of enrollment as well as the implementation of strategies of access and retaiment. These strategies are constantly restructured in order to meet the social needs. This paper explains the theoretical basics that underlay in curriculum conception including the aspects of gender perspectives as ones of the challenges for higher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we present methodological alternatives of teaching, which can be used in the teaching-learning process of Statistic, in particular, in the treatment of the so-called Poisson distribution. Moreover, the work provides some suggestions about the possibilities that methodologically can be used in order to motivate and strengthen the learning of such matter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of researching skills in undergraduates is an imperative command of Cuban higher education to bringing up creative professionals who helps scientifically to our country. Traditionally, by attaining high quality scientific works, the students of mining engineering career stand out in Mining-Metallurgic High Institute. The obtaining of several awards in different scientific conferences and the presenting of excellent course projects corroborate the previous affirmation. Nevertheless, it has been diminished in the last few years; due to, on the one hand, the inadequate training and motivation of student to face up to extracurricular scientific work, and on the other hand an insufficient work made by scientific tutors. For that reason, it is needed a methods or strategy to strengthen the mining engineering undergraduate scientific work, such that allows to form skills related to technical and scientific work, using the scientific research methodology in the formation of professional process. This paper presents the curricular strategy to undergraduate scientific work at mining engineering career, describes the resource system designed to mining engineering students to support the research and show the main results of its application.

The continuous improvement of the Cuban Higher Education has been systematized during the last years by means of the study plans and programs of disciplines according to the conception of the study plans "C" and "D" or of the conscious processes, which has one of its fundamental tendencies, the increase of the professional abilities (Alvarez, 1989). In this sense, there are basic disciplines where the abilities that are developed, are identified with the professionals. Paper exposes how through the discipline: General chemistry is contributed to the development of professional abilities and the integral formation of the students. Presenting the widespread ability of General Chemistry disciplines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
