Trabajo metodológico en las nuevas condiciones de universalización en la carrera de Estomatología

the universalization of higher education creates an opportunity and a great challenge, particularly in teaching-learning process, as well as in the preparation of professors. the current situation regarding the system of methodological work motivated the researchers to carry out the investigation as an approach to increase the preparation of novel professors for the universalization of dentistry studies. a survey was applied as an empirical method to 21 professors, all them having the teaching rank of instructors, representing the 9th municipal venues where the formative process is carried out in municipalities. among the results obtained it was emphasized that half of those polled considered they have knowledge about the main functions of the academic group, conduct, and subject. a high percent of those polled did not participate in the collective of year or group. a larger group participated in the collective of conduct and subject. the totality did not participate in the scientific methodological conference in their university venues. it was observed a lesser degree of professors participating in the methodological scientific conference. researchers concluded that: current methodological system of work for dentistry studies, as a process to increase the training of novel teaching personnel, was insufficient considering the new contexts of universalization.
