Attention to Havana teachers who are trained as doctors at the Pedagogical University

Abstract

Introduction: the training of professionals well prepared to respond to the high demands of the national and international scenario is among the challenges that educational systems must face. Objective: to socialize a strategy to care for teachers in Havana, who are trained as doctors at the Enrique José Varona University of Pedagogical Sciences. Method: a mixed study was carried out, where theoretical-methodological details that supported the strategy, the structural elements that composed it, as well as the initial results that showed its viability and real possibilities of application were addressed. Results: the community of teachers in Havana, despite having the highest number of doctors among them compared to other provinces, given the potential it has, is insufficient in the number of teachers who have achieved said scientific degree. Conclusion: one of the most important tasks that educational institutions have before them is to raise the scientific level of their faculty, to have highly qualified teachers, and to contribute to the solution of educational problems through research, which justifies the emphasis that is currently placed on doctoral training, in the education sector in Cuba.
