Editorial
The year 2020 has
concluded. This year was marked by a deep crisis in all the fields of society,
caused by the pandemic of the covid 19. At a global
level the editorial industry was impacted by the consequences of such a harmful
illness. Nevertheless, for the academic community of the University of Holguín
and for all those researchers involved in the processes of our online magazine,
the editorial work didn’t stop, and the articles of its four numbers could be
published. Today we go into in a new year that which we hope could be more
favorable and it gives us with many expectations.
This first issue
that opens our editorial work in the year 2021, offers a varied diversity of
topics related to the pedagogic, technical and natural sciences. All of the
articles portray the results of research projects and of thesis of doctor and
master degrees.
The improvement of the teaching of the Zootechnics-Veterinary promoting the student-centered class,
is presented in Didactic strategy for the specialty Zootechnics
- Veterinary considering the learning styles of the students. The
environmental issue is focused in the work The environmental education
process in the Biological Bases discipline: A proposal for its improvement.
In times when it
becomes necessary to increase the alimentary production in our country, it is
very interesting the characterization presented in The impact of the continuous training of aquaculture professionals on
organizational culture.
Two articles on special education show of the
importance that is given in Cuba to diversity and inclusion in the educational
institutions; these are: Family
counseling for the education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and The orientation to teachers for the
attention to students with intellectual disability included in the Primary
Education. Within this area of knowledge there is also The mode of action in students of the Special Education major degree
based on the communicative competence.
For those interested
in technic education we present The
upgrade of the curriculum of the subject History of Cuba in the college degree
of Mechanization and The construction
of written texts in different subjects in the first year of Technical and
Professional Education.
An objective of vital importance in the continuous
formative process is the work with the orientation and the development of skills
and competences; this is dealt with in The
librarian work when orienting the university professor in the use of the information
resources, The skill of formulating problems in the
teaching-learning of problem solving in Physics and Mathematics and A methodology to develop the didactic
professional competence in university professors.
As a very appealing topic we suggest the reading of the work The evolution expressed in the process of
professional formation of workers in the community of Kichwa
Añangu in the Ecuadorian Amazonia.
Finally, we recommend the
article The transforming and creative
spirit of the educational project of the Cuban teacher Luz y Caballero (VII),
that gives continuity to a study presented in previous issues of this magazine.
We
thank in advance to the authors, reviewers, editorial team and other
collaborators for accompanying us; and we announce that, from this new year on,
we will be welcoming works in Portuguese language.
