Las universidades ante la necesidad dual de cambio y estabilidad

Resumen

The epiphany of a new university education that gives adecuate response to the problems of the hyperindustrial epoch and to the expansion of the cyberspace situate the universities in front of the necessity to change some things and to stabilize others. In this crossroads, the authors look for inspiration in the analysis of the structure and dynamics of the creative emprise and in its transformations at different epochal moments. Now and here, the evidences obtained from the study of bases of data of scientific and artistic productions attest that the oeuv res of high impact in the mentioned fields are consequence more from the action and work of large teams of researches that from the thinking of individuals “heroes”. In resonance with this assumption, the authors emphatically propose that is necessary promote, in higher education, a curriculum that favours a students role centred in the collaborative investigation of authentic problems. In any case, the success of the new curriculum is more probable if the educators investigate in collaborative networks the best forms to educate. Ulteriorlly, this text present diverse arguments that, in accordance with the authors, validate a project of research based in networks of educators aimed, at Alicante’s University, to delineate the reform necessary to accomodate the Spanish University to the European Space of Higher Education.
