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.

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.

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.
