Abstract
PINEDA-LOPEZ, María del Rosario; SANCHEZ-VELASQUEZ, Lázaro R.; ALARCON-GUTIERREZ, Enrique and RUIZ CERVANTES, Edgar Eduardo. The training of creative scientists with a regional perspective in public universities: a challenge. Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.19, 00014. ISSN 2007-2171. https://doi.org/10.32870/dse.v0i19.514.
Public universities have gradually become centers of training, cognitive and technological development, promoting a science somewhat dissociated from society and its problems, creating the need for interdisciplinary and systemic platforms. Considering creative and collective approaches to education with a humanistic perspective would lead to a paradigm shift regarding the socio-environmental crisis that we face, at a regional scale. Some reflections of the authors are presented, based on their teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels, regarding the importance of eliminating rigid approaches and promoting creativity and collective intelligence. The need to integrate regional and local problems as elements that make research within universities more relevant is also discussed.
