Due to its diversity, this turns out to be a controversial issue, since in Cuban undergraduate training, this approach is applied in a general way, transferred the pedagogical management practices by objectives for the fulfillment of the social demands of the professional models.
However, the international trend of the results of its application in higher education, although they promote the fulfillment of purposes and objective aspirations, demonstrate an undeniable uniformity and triviality in educational purposes. There is also a stratification of teaching and learning that does not make it possible to take advantage of the potential of learning error and empirical knowledge for attention to diversity and educational inclusion, it results in homogenizing collective purposes and does not promote differentiating practical skills and abilities. , which simplifies the predictability of results in vocational training.
In addition, according to the demands of a university education, which must respond to an educational model that promotes socioeconomic development, the production of goods and services and the creation of a business economic culture, the conception of this model is not very adaptable to the acquisition of individual professional skills and the diversity of theoretical-practical contents, results of a pragmatic and technical society.
What has been said does not mean that the university bends to the demands of its environment, what it is about is that, from its role as a forerunner of development, it is capable of meeting and satisfying these demands, in a transformative way through the plans of study and its management; in such a way that graduates meet the expectations and needs of society.
That is why it is so important to assess the criteria of the professionals who work in the base link of the profession, in relation to this purpose.
Hi,
Yes, it is possible for the behavioural model to prevail in university education despite curricular transformations, owing to factors such as its long-standing history, institutional resistance to change, the benefits of standardisation, and the complexities of alternative models.
Hope this helps.
Dear Mr. León!
YOU raised an issue of primary importance. I found studies that look at the problem you refer to:
1) Loorbach, D.A., Wittmayer, J. Transforming universities. (CASE "Mobilizing research and education for sustainability transitions at Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands"), Quote: "...presents the design impact transition (DIT) platform as an ‘institutional experiment’ at the EUR and a concerted and strategic effort that lays bare current lock-ins of the dominant university model and the kind of institutional work needed to transform universities. " Sustain Sci (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-023-01335-y, Open access: Article Transforming universities
2) Fernández, A., Gómez, B., Binjaku, K. et al. Digital transformation initiatives in higher education institutions: A multivocal literature review. Quote: "We conclude that HEIs are in the first steps to digital maturity as only 1 in 4 have a digital strategy and 56% have launched isolated DTI that are not integrated in a plan and do not have a high strategic return value to the organization."

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
Thank you Professor Bulcsu,
It is a pleasure that this question also allows us to reflect on studies that show these elements.
There is even research that alludes to the fact that the curricular transformation of the study plans must respond to a dynamic of a multidiachronic social subject that is capable of demonstrating socio-applicable skills to their context of professional performance, as well as immediately solving the problems of stage contextualizes and perfects its lines of action. The road is still long, and I think that universities have a high responsibility with this transformation.
Thanks greetings.
Dear Mr. León!
Please let me point out, I am not a Professor, not even a Doctor of Science. This is due to the fatal failure of LUT University in facilitating a career for me in the research industry: they have been hiring a great amount of Russians and other newcomers outside the EU. As a HUN&FIN joint citizen, I am just allowed to watch the show: a criminal team hacked my account and hijacked my profile from within the LUT University IT - ecosystem. I have been in an empty space for over 12 years, doing "limbo- dancing". I have been downgraded to a "student". Prior to entering LUT University In January 2006, I had been working at the Finnish (Turku) Chamber of Commerce, the University of Vaasa, and the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences Ltd., as a researcher. Now my career is in jeopardy. All of this is because LUT University failed to lunch a proper digital transformation strategy for researchers to evolve. Yes, universities have a long way to go to set up fruitful cooperation platforms with IT - giants like SAP AG, International Data Corporation or Google Inc. I am certain proper well-structured university-industry cooperation platforms are key to success:

Greetings and thanks colleague, I am sensitive to what has happened to you. I hope to continue counting on your opinions in our next questions and posts.
Affections
University education should reduce focus on traditional behavioral model on the transmission of knowledge and the evaluation of results and focus more on the development of competencies and the promotion of learning.
Thank you for your criteria, greetings.
It is interesting how the analyzes that we have been carrying out in relation to the behavioral model that still prevails in some higher education institutions, is relevant in other scenarios.
