Abstract

The formation of comprehensive professionals is a growing necessity within our current society. Thus, efficiency and effectiveness, innovative learning, transformations in social and productive contexts, are among others, fundamental concepts and elements that should be present in the educational field. In this edition we present three articles that deal with such subject from different perspectives: a study that took place in the surroundings of the Universidad Militar Nueva Granada, seeking to determine the manner in which comprehensive education is developed within this institution and how could they improve; another flank, is covered by an investigation about the role that humanist dimensions play in secondary education and its impact on professional education, inside a society which chose to solve a great portion of its problems by means of violence; one last article points at the social impact generated by governments interested in strengthening economic growth at the cost of society’s welfare, while underlining the citizen’s importance as an ethical-political individual, struggling to build quality life spaces, worthy and fair.
