Abstract:
Study habits involve autonomy and a student's decision on his own criteria to prepare himself by means of managing and prioritizing his time in an autonomous educational context. As part of the research carried out within the doctoral program in Educational Sciences, the objective is to characterize the state of self-management of learning in students of the Short Cycle Higher Education in Pharmaceutical Services of the Faculty of Nursing and Health Technology, University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara, Cuba. The empirical method of document review was used (normative, curricular and methodological of the subject); the analytical-synthetic theoretical method was also taken into account. Among the main results, the following stand out: inequality in academic progress, need for additional support, need for differentiated pedagogical approaches, and diversification of teaching strategies, which allow students to manage their own learning. It is concluded that the reality manifests itself differently from what is expected in the proposed professional model, because students are not able to manage their own learning, since what they learn does not meet the objectives proposed in the subject Pharmaceutical Services.
