educational reality we live, deserves a contribution to improve the quality and academic performance universities. Current needs, the complexity of experience, demand for training that meets certain requirements, for the university and students to integrate and interact with the company and the state and these were the key actors in society. The university must carefully monitor the changing environment and future and to promote more flexible, making it the logical way as in the university are people and relationships arise that may cause the necessary mutations. However, the reality is different. Actors such as companies in many cases have had to assume this role and in some things on the fly, as a result of the disengagement or separation between academia and industry, or simply because it does not get what you need. That is why we say that universities should not only be aware of current needs, they must anticipate the social movements and anticipate future needs and seek at all costs linked with business and further transform its structures and managing knowledge through Focus on complexity.
The university plays a key role in the development of society as being capable of generating major changes, but by itself it is almost impossible to achieve the required changes, so there should be a complementary relationship and interdependence between the university and each component of society, such as the company, the state and individuals to get the feedback necessary to make sustainable and sustainable world in which we live.
Understanding this reality from the growing complexity involves a form of systems thinking, interactions, relationships and self-organization to be taken by all members of society, especially universities to achieve change and generate knowledge useful, relevant, to meet the needs of society. The complexity as a way of thinking implies penetrate beyond the appearance of the real and to develop in people, should be a major transformation of traditional educational structures in many cases have given priority to training in a simple way of thinking. This is essential to advance meaningful knowledge construction, where it is built well, the social fabric and harmony with the environment.
Some key proposals for the development of this approach are: 1) Go to disciplinarity transdisciplinarity to overcome the cognitive patterns that cut across disciplines, taking into account the environment in which they originate and discuss the challenges and looking around time a deconstruction rather than the breakdown of discipline and created, 2) encourage the initiative, teamwork, synergies, but also to self-employment and entrepreneurship, resources and mobilize knowledge and local staff in order to create new actions to adapt to the new realities., 3) Defining educational quality based on the dimensions of effectiveness (ensuring that students learn what they are supposed to learn to deal with the reality we live), relevance (to have content that respond appropriately to what the individual needs to develop as a person) and process and means (to provide adequate physical context for learning, a body properly prepared for the task of teaching, good materials for study and work, appropriate teaching strategies), and 4) training, encouragement and appreciation to the researchers, who should be recognized and not be relegated to the background as in our country, not only by the level of income but the social value that is given to their business.
Based on these proposals raise two specific action plans, which essentially are not intended to displace traditional, but the emergence of new forms of education. The first proposal is related to the Promotion of Education Franchises for transmission of knowledge between education and business scenarios in order to generate networks knowledge both locally and internationally thus generating financial resources, materials and new stages of knowledge. The second proposal relates to curricular flexibility for the ongoing transformation of rhythms, media and learning environments. Basically it is allowed to make changes in schedules, teaching methods, teachers, teaching, teaching aids, supplementary training, content management, learning spaces, student mobility, exchange and training teachers, the organization and reorganization in subjects or courses, the development of extra powers, setting career mixed, which provides that a student enrolls in college and not a specific program, graduating as credit views.
