Guillermo Ockham VL - 18 IS - 2 SE - Research article DO - 10.21500/22563202.4830 UR - https://revistas.usb.edu.co/index.php/GuillermoOckham/article/view/4830 SP - 127-136 AB - <p>The official documents of almost all institutions of higher education in Colombia state a firm commitment with the teaching for analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities (what I shall call the <em>essential plea</em>of higher education). In this paper, I hold the thesis that in the vast majority of regional colleges and universities the achievements related to such plea are scarce. I analyze the <em>essential plea</em>and examine the reasons that prevent its realization. I also give some recommendations that could contribute to realize the <em>essential plea</em>in this field.</p> ER -
