VALVERDE, Juan Carlos; ROMERO-ZUNIGA, Mariela  and  VARGAS-FONSECA, Lupita. Current Trends, Challenges and Opportunities of University Learning Processes Applied to Forest Sciences. Rev. Cient. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.262-277. ISSN 0124-2253.  https://doi.org/10.14483/23448350.16030.

In the last decades, the introduction of new technologies, learning techniques and teaching methods has had an impact on simplifying the understanding of concepts; the ease of finding information through Internet sources, social networks and interactive media has generated reinforcement in dynamic learning systems, especially at the university level. The objective of this work was to analyze the learning trends implemented at the university level, as well as the challenges and potential changes that should be considered in coming years, to improve learning and increase knowledge in science university students. Forestry. Employing a bibliographic review, behavioral and cognitive psychological theories were taken into account; Also, trends in types of learning were analyzed, from the traditional alternative (memory) to newer ones such as cooperative, emotional and latent, which stimulate the development and use of soft skills. The results showed that currently, the trends are moving towards theoretical-practical learning in which the emotional and experimental part takes relevance and improves the interaction with social reality and the intimate environment. Finally, the long-term perspectives were considered in which the implementation of e-learning (the combination of social networks), programs, videos, and computer equipment promote the empowerment of new knowledge.
