Summary: The thesis falls within the scope of research into design and curriculum development, and within this, in a line of research on the spatial dimension of the curriculum of Social Sciences. In this context, the question of the role of local media in the teaching of Social Sciences in Secondary Education addresses from an interpretative and qualitative research on the thinking and practices of a group of high school teachers of outstanding career. Using the interview as tools to teachers and analysis of the materials the students found that: 1. Teachers used in a spatial dimension Secondary Education open and multiescalar in which, although along the way we work on all scales, there is still a tendency to raise each year to a single scale and are relatively few exercises in which establishing relations between comparative explanatory or different scales. 2. In this scheme multiescalar the presence of the local environment is very important and is regarded as very important by nearly all teachers. 3. The teaching model that used with the local environment is very heterogeneous and therefore are three types: open ralacinal and not open relational. The model closed autoreferente is one in which the local environment is studied in years ended with a single scale. This model is characterized by considering the local environment as a subject of study and preferably by using investigative techniques histórico-geográficas. Despite being quantitatively the most important, is a model periferíco and regression, which is demonstrated by the contradictions between the claims involved variables and synthesis. Rather the model abierto-relacional, which is studying the local environment in years open incorporating a combination of different scales and establishing relationships among them, believes the local environment as a context for learning and research techniques used both historic geografícas techniques work socio-lingüstico. This model minority from the quantitative point of view, is by contrast a model emerging in Central and which gives greater coherence between the thinking and practices of teachers and which is preferably in the appropriations common. The third model, not open relational, is a stage of transition between the previous two. 4. The importance of the local environment in the curriculum of Social Sciences Secondary Education is justified in the first place because of its ability to facilitate the learning of the students and secondly because it contributes to education for democratic citizenship in the sense that fosters knowledge and the assessment of the environment, helping to increase the capacity of social responsibility. These findings demonstrate the exceedance of the standard sequencing concentric space which reserves the local environment for Primary Education. The thesis is complete with an appendix in which he performed some aportacimones, proposals and intends lines future. Highlights especially the model UDGL representing a proposed local spatial structure with which to develop educational Secondary Education.

Summary: The Environmental Education (EE) has expanded its objectives beyond the development of attitudes, skills and knowledge about environmental concepts into other, more realistic and effective to train loso individuals to act individually and collectively in favor of a half. But for this option to be effective, we must consider as a priority the education and training of teachers for action to be providing the EA and transmit these skills to their future students. The overall objective of this research is to analyze the "effectiveness" of a teaching model ( "pilot"), based on work on environmental problems in their environment, in relation to the development of skills for action in favor of teachers in the middle of training - With regard to the purposes of the EA (knowledge, attitudes and behaviors environmental) - as an alternative to teaching methodology "traditional" in nature funamentalmente exhibition, which is generally used in these educational levels. To do so, first, it is essential to clarify the concept of EA behind the teaching model proposed two ideas on which we rely to delineate and develop the conceptual framework of reference of the EA are: 1) the middle environment as a system and 2) the complex environment and sustainable development in the age of globalization. To carry out this research was designed and developed a stimulating material ( "research") thematic socioiambientales, which address issues of their daily lives, forcing assume lifestyles in favor of the environment and also to adopt certain personal and social behaviors. Likewise were constructed and validated measuring instruments for collecting data (scale of attitudes, knowledge and questionnaire scale intention to conduct proambiental). The main results show that the "experimental" produced positive changes and statistically significant, although not equivalent to one another at quantitative, environmental attitudes, in the conceptual knowledge on the environment and the problems and socio its intention to conduct to act in favor of the middle of the subjects who followed him. It also does not emphasize the influence of personal variables (gender and age) and the high degree of satisfaction of the students who followed the methodology esxperimental towards the same. The findings could - and should inferred a seie "recommendations" for the initial training of teachers in AD.

Summary: In the investigation conducted has explored the limits and epistemological and pedagogical possibilities of this new approach on the notion, constructivist of competition. It has been researched and analyzed produce their formative difficulties in its implementation as a model curriculum and professional models. The proposed methodology of constructivist analysis is based on the following considerations. 1) vision comprehensive, holistic and integrated manner. 2) participation in their learning meaningful. 3) alternating training strategies; 4) properties emerging and complex. The training plan based on skills for the Diploma in nursing, is based on the compression of learning as a process of cosntrucción meanings taking as benchmarks for training and reflective practice experiential learning this type of analysis is important to be able to link powers learning and the reality of the organizations, and to train ciudadamos and nurses autonomos for razonalibidad social and professional. findings and conclusions. The model is enfoaca more on learning than teaching, with resignations of contents. Students perceive that learning is personal "each in their own way and step by step", in collaboration with the teacher and his companions. "Teachers demonstrate that cosntruir a significant learning is necessary, that capcidades are present in students and there is a group of teachers motivated, capable of mobilizing to produce learning material. competition that has to do with a number of qualities, I potential capabilities that the person puts into action at the time to manifest their competence. competition is their qualifications. Established spiral ciclica: ability, competence, qualifications. powers in the education of nurses are "underlying capabilities, development, agragadas, emerging and complex" allowing them to work in different fields of life and professional practice. are defined in nursing skills, competencies in action: namely to do (know how) with consciousness. nature of the construction of competition has to be experiential, dialogic, holistic and thoughtful. involves a new concept aulísitico , student, teacher, process and relationships.

Summary: The present study analyzes the configuration assume that the processes of Teacher Education in Salta -Provincia northern argentino- in the second half of the nineteenth century. Based on the critical sociological approach, adopting lines derived from the theory of regulation and the social control, allowing interpret the deliberate and intentional actions of the processes of education, by policy decisions driving. The realization of such effects on the thought and practice teaching is studied from the conceptual categories derived interaccionismo symbolic. For its part, and given the importance attached to the role of the state, discusses the types of conformation own state in the region, its organization and performance on the route and driving the education system, particularly in the preparation of teachers tables. This poses a design cutting qualitative mediatiza seeking data on the socio-stage described above, the analysis of curricula and training with the interpretation of expressions of players selected for the training process. It works with lines of representation: the sector management (CEOs, principals, coordinators), official and political party alternative, as well as the area of professional practice itself (teacher trainers and teachers trained). It defines research on teacher training at the basic levels of education and a half (Polimodal), in institutions belonging to three areas, characterized by its emergency and representativeness of the state education policy in the history of your settings: normal schools, non-university colleges and a unit of the National University academic environment. It is used as a working methodology analyzing documentary and journalistic sources, plus the semi-structured interview and testimony as an alternative exposure historizada in the formative experience teaching and working. It triangulizan data from angles, varying times and study, so as to obtain, use, organize and link the data collected, after a review process that considers: the interpretation of data validated by their consistency and convergence testimonial (case data historic), a comparison of structural categories of curricula, discursive deconstruction of the expressions of those interviewed, worked in three and even four progressive levels of interpretive reading. Finally realizing the study was achieved, resulting in a corpus conceptual sensitive to the natural emergency data qualitatively studied the process, which argues in the light of the basic theoretical frameworks. There is a configuration político-pedagógica training process consistent with the teaching modes and intencionalidades regimen of State in successive moments in the city's history, crossed by the social unrest of the permanence of ideological and material interests, rather than their democratic expansion.

Summary: The thesis consists of an in-depth study on the nature of the Practicum in the current pedagogical studies, from which arise new proposals consistent with the university's future and the times. The fact that they are engaged in a process of harmonization to the European Higher Education Area has forced argue the need for the Pedagogy be considered as a qualification grade. Combined with the necessary restructuring of the Curriculum, which has been leading a new model to generate alternative Practicum, which vertebre future titling, so cross, according to its enormous potential to assume certain institutional responsibilities, so far not taken into account, linked to the employability of students and the subsequent employability of the graduates. Aspects, both traits that would complement profesionalizantes traditionally referred to other, more turn académico-formativo. Determinate the problem of the thesis: the need to substantiate an alternative model of Practicum; defines the overall objectives of the same: 1-materialize guidelines for the development of an alternative model of Practicum, adjusted to the changing needs and realities, linked the new European Higher Education Area. 2-Enhancing the employability of the students of Education to promote their integration works. 3-Generate strategies linked to Practicum, consistent with the alternative model. The thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first dedicated to establish a theoretical framework, which is essentially descriptive and interpretative part, and the second for the empirical study of nature evaluative. Each side has three chapters. Furthermore, a section dedicated to the findings, another to the bibliography and appendices. The first chapter initially consists of a conceptual approach to Practicum university subsequently focuses on the description of Practicum a degree of pedagogy at the University of Barcelona, and finally fixed its attention on the evaluation reports, prompted by the revision The year 2000, the current plan for the Study of Education. The second chapter describes the process of construction of the so-called European Higher Education Area. Make a journey that goes from the background at the international and national levels, including the major initiatives from the perspective Europe, carried out by different instances, the responses from our university system, for the actions undertaken by our university, approaching what it may be the future of eludios of Pedagogy in the new space, to conclude with a few final considerations. The third chapter deals with the issue of entering the labor market. The report analyzes the current state of the labor market and the position of higher education in this regard. Following a conceptual approach, describes major initiatives from various fields carried out in recent times, on policies and programs for finding jobs. Subsequently, as discussed some significant experiences, international and domestic, on the employment of university graduates. The fourth chapter places the empirical part of the thesis. This is done from the perspective theoretical approximation to the method of evaluative research that will enable clarify some methodological decisions that determine the process of the investigation. In the fifth chapter describes the various stages that shape the design of the investigation 8: do 504 cuments analyzed, the questionnaire addressed to the graduates, questionnaires aimed at the different groups involved in the Practicum of involvement and technical aspects of the group discussion. In the sixth chapter discusses and interpret the results obtained through as various techniques used for obtaining the information. In all cases, the techniques are closely related to the objectives of the thesis and the different dimensions of CIPP model evaluation. In the section devoted to the conclusions set out a series of proposals and recommendations that result in a set of guidelines that could set an alternative model of Practicum for future titling degree of pedagogy, all based on the objectives of the thesis and those aspects covered in the previous chapters.

Summary: This Doctoral Thesis, is based on research conducted by the author from the teaching experience in the race Civil Engineering, Faculty Building at the Central University "Marta Abreu" in Las Villas, Cuba. Lack of motivation among students in revenue and manifest disregard of the nature of the profession were the starting point for defining the overall goal: to develop an orientation program for the professional career of Civil Engineering. A study diagnosis in the race Civil Engineering, and the Higher Secondary Education, through the application of tools developed for this purpose, which identified the needs of the student orientation at both levels of education. To meet them, designing a program Vocational Guidance for the race "IMS" based on guidance activities across the curriculum and extracurricular activities. For his design, considered the criteria for teachers and students in the Higher Secondary Schools of IPVCE "Ernesto Guevara" of the city of Santa Clara and career civil engineering at the Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas. The main techniques used in research to obtain information were: a review of official documents, the survey, interview and group techniques. As tools of the orientation program was used to design brochures prevocational exercises for teachers in the Higher Secondary Schools, in the subjects Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of 10Â º, 11Â ° and 12Â sixth grades and a Web page vocational guidance for the race Civil Engineering, may be installed on the Intranet and the precollege University, or separate machines. Finally, there is a proposal for implementation and proposes indicators and techniques used for evaluation and refinement.

Summary: 1. The purpose of the work has been explored in the context of the region, certain aspects of the development of the educational reform of the LOGSE, referring to the teaching of science in Compulsory Secondary Education. Specifically, areas that reports can be summarized in the following questions: What  feature set has established innovative educational reform promoted by the LOGSE, for the teaching of science in the Compulsory Secondary Education?  What ideas, beliefs and ideas on the teaching of science in the SCS, raises teachers in the teaching programs of the departments?  To what extent they conform to the innovative features promoted by the educational reform of the LOGSE?  To what extent have been collected innovative features that education reform set out in its curriculum in textbooks SCS?  What state teachers on the methodology of teaching practice, the evaluation procedures used, coordination that occurs between them and other aspects of their business? 2. There has been a review of the contributions that could influence research in these areas: a) The proceedings culminating in the LOGSE, including valuations on the innovative proposal on the Area of Natural Science in the SCS. B) The innovative framework for the teaching of science in the context temporary educational reform that is designed and set in motion. C) The research on the implementation of innovative curriculum proposals experimental sciences. 3. The first question was addressed through analysis of that documentation whose origin could locate in the Ministry of Education and Science, either by their nature or because official policy was issued under his ownership. For the second analyzed until 51 schedules of educational departments that taught Area Natural Science twenty different centers in the region. The third explored teaching units on the topic "Systems materiales-Constitución of the art," in five different textbooks widely used among teachers. For the last twenty interviews were conducted for teachers of schools that we used as sample. 4. Our research has sought to define the territory of reality - that is, what really has changed in science education in the geographical areas in which it has focused. The conclusion presented below summarizes the findings of our work. That is: When it comes to responding to the overall question: Do you have been consistent between the proposal made by the LOGSE On the teaching of science in the SCS And its implementation? We can say that the gap between design and implementation is very large: Formally there is an attempt fairly widespread adoption of innovation. We have made some terms, big ideas, more or less precisely. - There has been a great effort on the part of teachers to adapt to the new approaches, which also have some that another contradiction. - But when we look at the programming documents for teachers and textbooks used, we found large gaps and deficiencies in the curriculum and guidance officers. - And above all, when we hear the responses of teachers we find very clarificadoras behaviors: those of the younger who have taken innovative approaches and practice, others (very few) that even asumiéndolos, feel disoriented and hesitant at the time of implementing, and those 8, má 37b s, yes, we are aware of the proposal and they seemed okay, but not disclaim continue with its usual practice, in the end, it they feel safe.

Summary: In today's society it is becoming increasingly obvious that we need to find ways to enable students to assimilate knowledge systems and methods of intellectual activity and practice put in a position to respond to situations they face in life. The man is a bio-psico-social unity, so that education must respond to this unit and not fragment. Hoz defines education as "one that focusing on one specific aspect is addressed to everyone else," making it necessary and appropriate to develop work with the treatment concept kinds of Physical Education, as part of the aspiration to comprehensive training of learners but we did not find that the treatment concept in the actual curriculum of Physical Education is not the dominant practice among teachers is a problem and currently insufficiently studied at the level of field work. The present study deals with the treatment of the concepts into concrete reality as is the Cuban educational system, by conducting a field study being the main objectives of the same. - Ascertain the treatment concept kinds of Physical Education and then refine the tools for evaluating and monitoring treatment conceptual Physical Education classes. - Propose alternative teaching favoring treatment conceptual Physical Education classes. - Conducting pilot studies where alternatives pedagogical function as independent variable or incentives for the development of treatment conceptual Physical Education classes. Based on the definition of the concept as different authors has been raised to 51 teachers the study of the Cuban province of Cienfuegos make an assessment as substantial elements of the program of physical education in middle-level secondary education in Cuba and characterize concepts as a fundamental element the physical education curriculum at both theoretical and practical. The work provides a conceptual framework that underlies the subsequent study methodology applied to the sample of professors cited above, ending with the presentation of the key findings of the same lines and suggesting future work well futras job prospects.

Summary: This research is directed to the study of the activities of the Physical Culture in the community, revealing the problems that exist both in practice the operation of the Combined Deportivo as human resources, all with the aim of meeting social demands. Scientific Problem: Design a model for improving one's community work from the activities of the Physical Culture. Purpose of the study: The community work in the Physical Culture. Main Objective: To systematize a model for the improvement of community work from the activities of the Physical Culture. Methodology: The design methodology is a qualitative approach that allows us to interpret reality and develop solutions to the problems identified, developed a model of intervention in physical culture to be introduced in two regions of the mountainous region of the province of Villa Clara attended by the combined sports mountain. After the initial review of the literature and documents on the basis of which develop theories about community work in the Physical Culture, which have been valued by experts, the model is built to be introduced in the Combined Sporting mountain to check its incidence and acceptance. The instruments of intervention have been observing templates; opinion polls; questionnaire and analysis of documents, properly validated. The development of the model has been based on the social needs and quality that sought to give the same, which have been found to satisfy the requirements for its implementation and to achieve high levels of solution to the problem raised, based on the analysis of the practice of community work of the Physical Culture, the delimitation of the modeling, characterization of the aims and aspirations of the community work from the Physical Culture, the finding of ways to work around problems detected and the possible integration of the model. The findings highlight the need to take steps to overcome with the human resources of the Physical Culture involved in the research and construction of a methodology for the development of participatory community work from the activities of the Physical Culture, as well as develop a concept of Culture Physical Participatory Community. They have also shown as the model meets the requirements for obtaining data to be certain variables and key indicators of the problem to study, so that we can achieve the training and advancement of professionals and activists of the Physical Culture and satisfy the tastes and preferences of the population for greater sustainable development strategy in specific communities.

Summary: So it is only necessary to pay attention to our daily lives to ensure that we constantly communicate and relate to people who often think, feel, speak, interpret, and even appreciate acting in a manner different from their own. These differences are inherited from a cultural background itself invaluable and we characterize and at the same time provide us with a continuing challenge for communication, the passing of which makes us move forward in the process of coexistence. Although many times, we are unable to accept this challenge. This failure, often caused by attitudes of ignorance or even rejection of cultural difference, it highlights the failure of a human formation for a life of peaceful coexistence, for a lifetime of mutual enrichment. This reality implies the need to develop intercultural skills that enhance communication and intercultural dialogue among people, especially since compulsory schooling, in some ages where students have the maturity necessary for the development of some powers of critical thinking: adolescence. This led us to consider two basic problems to which pretendimos responding to this research:  What intercultural communication skills are necessary in the first cycle dela SCS? And before the proposal for an educational intervention through a program  what inputs implies its application in a specific context? Answering these questions we required a design methodology based on joint integration by combination of a quantitative and qualitative approach (Bericat, 1998). Specifically, we designed this basic research in three phases: Phase 1 Diagnosis of powers by survey research, by adapting the scale of intercultural sensitivity and the creation of test intercultural communication. PHASE 2 Creation of intercultural communication program according to this diagnosis. PHASE 3 Adaptation, implementation and evaluation of the program in a specific context: Cutting collaborative research evaluation, based on a valuation model proposed by the gredi in several of its investigations (Bartholomew and Cabrera, 2000), which take three basic foundations: diagnostic evaluation, evaluation process, evaluation of results. The first phase involves further constructs intercultural communication and intercultural communication competence. Just as, framing the main objective of this research: developing skills for intercultural communication in compulsory secondary education and the Baix Llobregat. In the SCS given their binding and preparation in basic skills, as well as considering the stage of adolescence madurativa very important for the development of critical capabilities, and in Baix Llobregat, being the second most populous county immigrant in Catalonia. A study prior diagnosis based intervention consistent with the educational deficiencies of the students in this area. To do so, we need measuring instruments validated for that purpose: intercultural sensitivity scale, adapted from Chen and Starosta (2000) and the test of intercultural communication competence. The diagnosis of intercultural communication competence of the students in compulsory secondary education in the region draws out the Baix Llobregat needs at the cognitive, affective and behavioral students. This educational intervention is based on a model of competency development mixed concrete is proposed through the program of intercultural communication 1. It was implemented in an HEI a group of 21 students from the second year of Compulsory Secondary Education. 8 The terce 382 rai basis is the implementation and evaluation of this program; distinguishing res evaluation phases of the program: diagnostic evaluation, process and results. The results are still possibly be a result of improvements in students, such as reducing the rejection of intercultural communication or to enjoy the development of intercultural interaction. Appearance leads us to a rather positive assessment of the experience.

Summary: The proposed "Model of Creativity for Target Innovations Curriculares Higher Education" presents a whole range of input on curriculum and innovative thinking in schools. This is a document that will guide the development of innovation in the curriculum. In the first part, discusses revisions conceptual analysis paradigms, models and theories explaining this field of study. It seeks to answer the questions What is the curriculum? Â Where is located? Â How innovate on it? Â What is the significance of creating an innovation? Etc.. It focuses attention on the curriculum intervention from the logic design, innovation, and evaluation. From the theoretical conceptual implicit becomes operational levels advocating proposals for action in each of the areas studied. We also researched on the main theories that comprise the line of research, focusing on the theory curriculum, educational research and innovation. The second part of this work is the core empirical research includes four case studies, designed to receive various forms that are defined by the curriculum, design, innovation, performance and evaluation. It touches on innovative aspects that could translate into curriculum innovation, which will translate into a permanent transformation for Institutions of Higher Education. Finally, in the third part, the findings are discussed in the context of current trends. Includes bibliographical references and the various annexes that make up the research work. The main objective of this paper is to propose a model of creativity to guide curricular innovations at the senior level. In addition to obtaining information on the current state dela higher education, in order to enrich the plans and programs of study in terms of its relevance and social relevance. Rationale. The proposed curriculum innovation stems from the need of education system itself, to respond to the solution of problems, to improve the quality and the specific situation of the curriculum of the Department of Sociology and Public Administration, University of Sonora Mexico. The approach of a methodology of creativity and innovation to guide curricular innovations is a theoretical foundation integro methodological discussing the field curriculum, methods and ways of implementation. Given the inadequacy research done so far in this field of study is still needed research to make comparisons wider intervene where innovative elements, and to propose creative new methodologies to guide curricular innovations in the country. Methodology. We believe that four studies very helpful because not only clarify important issues of curriculum design itself, but to add in other contexts and thus interacts with other chapters that help integrate and cohesion insights and knowledge about this field of design and innovation of the curriculum. From this methodological approach understood that the investigation would be cut quantitative, but the scene at the same time we brought new theoretical bases for interpreting the formal context in which it developed experience. From this paradigm emerges, and it was like we were gradually strengthening our research work, until his presentation. Our proposal stems from the analysis of information and data obtained during the investigation.

Summary: The text presents the report of the investigation conducted to describe and understand the components contextual socioacadémicos and personal involved in the transition cycle PreClínico cycle Clinic, fourth grade students at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Barcelona, Campus Bellvitge . Based on theories and concepts of Medical Education, the academic study of transitions, and using an approach multimetodológico were designed and implemented three instruments; a structured questionnaire and two surveys semiestructuras for 43 students and a semi-structured interview to 31 teachers from fourth grade . (Cohorte 1999), between moments of the school year. The results indicate that the transition process would be related to the curricular structure sementada cycles basic and clinical, clinical experience and achievements of the educational process: academic performance and academic and professional skills, as well as specific events that impact the clinical experience the formation. It is possible that these components are, in turn, associated with the formation of the medical profession. Therefore, in order to facilitate a successful transition in the students, from the inclusive approach Guidance Education, it is proposed the launching of a system of medical education with two basic strategies: support for the training and retraining teachers, and the implementation of an action program tutorial for students.

Summary: Study with qualitative approach, participatory research, entitled Developing, implementing and evaluating a proposal for moral education curriculum for 1 and 2 degrees of secondary education. Its referential structural model for the construction of the autonomous moral personality. Developed in the College of the Faculty Adventist Bay-CFADBA This research seeks to answer wing next question. How to encourage teachers of CFADBA subsidies theoretical and practical for a acicón teaching interdisciplinary, cross-contextualized, taking moral education as a centerpiece?. We begin with an analysis of the existing models and moral education as the binomial autonomía-heteronomía was tried in these. Plan 3 prospects basis for the Proposal: philosophical (Apel and Habermas); psychology (Piaget and Holhberg) and teaching (Puig, Martinez Hernandez, Busquets, Fazenda, Freire and others). We seek to explore the means socio-historico-cultural from school to work myself immersed in their midst and crafting the proposal based on the projects and to apply from the didactic. For an evaluation of its implementation and use data collected through observation, interview and questionnaire. We present the conclusions and recommendations that this work allowed us to achieve, considering the same approach.

Summary: Based on an analysis of the contributions made by various experts on the Information Society and focusing on the use of ICTs in the educational environment, we have done some research work that responds to a case study which aims to assess the task performed by students from sixth grade to a public primary school from activities outlined in a proposal by the speaking area with the use of ICT. To make this work with the students, we started the foundation of the psychology of learning and constructivism as a significant basis upon which the proposal was developed. We opted for raising activities from the perspective of collaborative work, and to this end we have distributed el grupo into five groups of steady work for the realization of the various proposals on the agenda. The monitoring has been undertaken on a systematic observation of the work of each of genetic groups in the various activities to be able to bring events and interactions that occur in the students when working on a collaborative. In each of the activities observed, have been collected in sufficient detail so that we obtained a general profile of each group without losing the perspective of each individual student. Thus, we wanted to get closer to understanding the interaction phenomena that occur in an environment of collaborative work to assess whether this kind of social organization favors working with the use of ICT. We have been satisfied before the resutlados obtained due to the highly motivated students that has been given to the work and believe that there is an open line to research environments of this kind, although we appreciate that additional resources are needed for optimal performance ( both human, material and time).

Summary: Research is a rapprochement from teaching mathematics to the problems posed by teaching and learning in the field of university education. Taking as reference the major theoretical contributions to the theoretical line of research known as Advanced Mathematical Thinking. Its purpose is to analyze the process of teaching the concepts of function and end of a function by conducting a teaching unit, which affects the creation of meanings and stimulate the learning process of students. The study population includes students enrolled in the first half of the Degree in Economics and a sample of six students for the case study. Through a set of qualitative and quantitative strategies are discussed, both the main difficulties of the students as the teaching unit. The findings give evidence on the existence of difficulties in learning these concepts, as well as the level agreement with the results of earlier investigations. It concludes that the teaching unit designed is a good attempt to integrate the mathematical knowledge to current cognitive development of students, which builds greater awareness of the initial student and guides specific content with new learning resources.
