Presentation de Vicerrectora de Docencia

Desde la Vice-Rectory of Docencia, en cabeza de la Ingeniera Marlin Alicia Aarón Gonzalvez, se reafirma el compromiso de apoyar y fortalecer el proceso de formación académica, respondiendo tanto a los contenidos curriculares como a las demandas actuales de la sociedad. Con una trayectoria destacada en la University of La Guajira, ha ejercido como Director of the Center for Cómputos, Manager de Programs de Entradagrado, Director of the Center for Investigaciones, así como Gerente de Telecom Guajira; experiencia que hoy respalda su gestión como actual Vicerrectora de Docencia. El objetivo es trascender una enseñanza centrada únicamente en contenidos, para ofrecer una educación que atienda las dinámicas sociales y cumpla con lo prometido a los estudiantes, motivándolos a formarse en nuestra alma mater.

Asimismo, se reconoce la responsabilidad de incorporar de manera equilibrada la inteligencia artificial generativa en los procesos formativos. Este avance tecnológico, cada vez más presente en el ámbito estudiantil, debe ser aprovechado por los docentes para promover el pensamiento crítico y analítico, evitando que su uso se limite a cumplir requisitos sin generar aprendizajes significativos.

En este sentido, la Vice-Rectory of Docencia trabaja en planes que fortalezcan el cuerpo docente y aseguren que los estudiantes alcancen los propósitos de sus programas. El objetivo final es formar profesionales capaces de intervenir de manera exitosa en la sociedad guajira, regional y nacional, respondiendo a los retos actuales y futuros con calidad y pertinencia.
