“We argue in favor of a positive answer to this question, providing evidence from the context of Cuban university students, where study groups form spontaneously at all academic stages. Personal epistemology, measured with a beliefs questionnaire, shows interesting behaviors as function of the group parameters.”

“Through the recall of extraordinary victories achieved by the Soviet Union, its role in the outcome of the war is weighted and the common falsifications and misrepresentations of the historical truth are refuted.”

“Concise review on some educational experiences in a process of strengthening the teaching of Organic Chemistry in the training of the radiochemists at InSTEC”

“Back during my time at the Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana “Jose Antonio Echeverrı́a”, CUJAE I assist with a workshop on the Problem Base Learning (PBL) approach to teaching. Little did I know about the serious science behind the development of innovative Learning and Teaching approaches. Even less on how far in our history, it is possible to track our “modern” problems and solutions! In the present contribution I share with the readers some of these findings. I will particularly focus on those corresponding to the Hellenistic times of the classical Greco-Roman philosophy, and hopefully, just hopefully, I will be able to transmit how modern these “ancient thoughts” look like.”

“The epistemological beliefs and metacognitive strategies of a sample of university students of Electric Engineering are discussed in this short overview. Significant differences between promoting and non-promoting groups were found regarding both beliefs and strategies. A strong correlation effect was also found between the strategies and beliefs about the structure of knowledge and the ability to learn. ”

“This study analyses the potential value of the network of scientific collaboration of Cuban researchers in Europe focussing on their institutional links with worldwide collaborators between 1995 and 2014.”

“The development of a submerged membrane bioreactor computer simulator that integrates biological degradation process with physical separation process is a useful tool for teaching and research.”

“This paper exposes some results obtained in my PhD thesis (Peña Acosta, 2005). Its scientific novelty lays in the determination of a relationship between the implementation of the investigative approach in the developer teaching-learning process and the self-evaluation of the students about their school performance. ”
