<strong>THE CHALLENGES OF POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPLEX THINKING</strong>

Abstract

This work deals with the problem of developing post-graduate programs based on up-to-date knowledge. This problem derives from the epistemological requirements for the development of scientific theory itself as well as from practical needs. An interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary vision is impossible without complex reflexions on a synthesis which integrates different phenomena of reality. However most postgraduate programs do not succeed in planning in an appropriate way to achieve this goal. In an experiment at the Universidad de La Habana, a more profound knowledge on this subject was obtained through the results obtained by way of the obstacles experienced by postgraduate students faced with learning tasks.
