Hello again: as I have mentioned before, I work in the department of kinesiology at UMCE. So, this time I will analyze the design of our career here in UMCE. Regarding the curriculum I have ever wished to introduce a couple of subjects, in the way to improve the analytical skills of the students. Nowadays, Kinesiology is a applied science based mainly in the observation of patients to get features of their movements. That is a limitation, definitely. In parallel, now as never before, there is a wide range of technology to measures basic movements parameter and with low costs. Technologies are the present and the future of therapeutic intervention in developed countries; therefore, our student must be prepared to change current interventions by introducing new technologies. With respect to the workload, ever is desirable the lower amount of hour per day to get the same academic results. That demands the implementation of actions directed to increase the efficacy in the use of time, as new technics of study, distribution of activities, didactics oriented to improve the learning inside the classroom, etc. To achieve that, communication between professors and students is essential, which doesn’t happen frequently today. Finally, one of the main problems in UMCE, as in many others public universities, is the shortage of money to get new buildings and equipment, at the same time to maintain the existing. In my opinion, this is the core of the public education at the superior level. Any other problem and solution depend on this one, so a national police is necessary in the line. In our hands is the possibility of small but not less important changes, but certainly a new conception of education is necessary, and possible, if we work for that.
