Through scientific research and technological
OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

to 40 percent of the products and services, only in high-tech industries and drug information tools and processes that the United States launches international market every year, has its origins in academic research school and university.
The goal of the research since the early years of pre-professional studies is to promote their application in the development of technology and production, improving living standards of population and economic growth .
In general, the average contribution of academic research in the United States, of all new products and processes, was in the past year, from 10 to 15 percent, according to a recent survey on technological innovation and industrial.
China, and India, countries with higher economic growth worldwide, are already in hand with the progress of science and technology, the same way and share the first place in the number of patents, behind North America.
The rapid international competitiveness and the fight for major commercial markets and financial, multiple sources of employment, have forced progressively closer ties between applied science involving the study of the transformation of products and services, and high technology, including the knowledge and tools for industrial production, point that both have already become inseparable.
BASIC RESEARCH
In Peru, most of the research, with only 0.3 of the State aid is reduced to the level of theory, basic and elementary including post-university research degree, complete divorce with the practical demands and competitive global market.
knowledge of applied sciences are designed to meet the welfare needs of a growing population and serve as liaison between the scientific and technological production.
Although, of course, you must also wonder to what extent technological advances contribute to improving the basic conditions of human life and protect it from permanent on risks that threaten the existence of our planet.
Both industrialized countries, with the indiscriminate pollution and resource usufruct devastated nature, as dependent nations, relegated in the investigation, including Peru, are obliged to ask a question about the real benefit sharing of knowledge and sheer usefulness and democratic.
PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
The theoretical basis of this question lies with the philosophy of science because of its critical role and guidance, based on the conscious practice of values , before the exercise of scientific research and for the same through the consistent study, practice and revision of knowledge with a deep sense of human, social and inclusive, outlawing the utilitarian spirit of petty trade and economic powers to the detriment of the underdeveloped .
Alternative urgent expansion of the modern world, with 7 billion people and their growing needs for water, food and energy, in a world shaken by the overwhelming increase of environmental pollution disorder, climate and social crisis is, indeed, applied research but, based on the reflective nature of philosophy as a starting point for this great production process for solving problems and improving the quality of life.
hop is the development philosophy, through scientific research and applied sciences. The motivational encouragement of curiosity continued research and training in colleges and universities, under the guidance of specialist teachers and a solid investment budget, is the challenge of applied research, technology engine that translates into economic growth , driving general development.
But the production of knowledge through research does not run without meaning, without cause or purpose. To address the complexity of the investigation the student should start questioning the reality around him and try to solve the challenges she poses.
EDUCATIONAL TRAINING
made before the first questions of its inquiry, the investigator must have acquired an education training that piques your curiosity by the company that owns and needs, to develop the consistent attitude of wanting to know, tune his spirit of observation, raise issues, formulate hypotheses and to understand the pleasure of indescribable to explain and share their personal checks.
The new investigator will want to learn what he knew not, but also learn to know. Nothing is science if it does not become conscious. (C. Dossi, Note Azurro)
If any discipline is imposed and introductory training to acquire such an attitude reflective of reality is, unquestionably, philosophy. Nothing better if it meets the needs of general learning, standards and values, knowledge and usefulness. Before address, of course, is the fascinating study of philosophy of science, aimed at deepening the critical study of research methodology and scientific knowledge. The beginning of philosophy is the consciousness of his own human weakness and impotence face significant problems in life. (Epictetus, "Discourses")
However, as contradictory as it may seem, the growth of technology, the result of scientific knowledge, has shifted in recent years and most universities The study of philosophy and guiding the knowledge contribution, in general.
But precisely the emergence of new technological resources. As the global propagation and instant message and image, molecular biology and computer science, among many others, they raise many questions about its human and social impact that philosophy encourages us to study.
science and technology evolve at an increasingly rapid pace so that they know a change in one year, has already emerged that surpasses the previous one, but the philosophy has been unfairly neglected and the world has lost sight of the sense of such transformations.
PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING
Front incomprehensible that gap, which represents our increasingly automated world, away from critical thinking and its anthropological sense, has just launched on the market literature, as great support for the introduction to scientific knowledge, philosophy of college student learning prolific researcher, Terrones Eudoro Negrete, with deserved auspices of the National Assembly of Rectors, reinforcing the training focus of educational values \u200b\u200band knowledge in college.
This work fast and schematic, of abundant knowledge, but, easy and fascinating study is a response to an old man cry. And, also the general learning requires knowledge and application of values \u200b\u200bto guide student behavior, freely, voluntarily and knowingly. His philosophy is aimed at making the learning in a stimulating and productive event, the promoter of a permanent spirit of comprehensive improvement.
university training in philosophy becomes most significance for the study corresponds to integrating and explaining the various disciplines. Causal knowledge of philosophy inquires into the reason for each of the factors involved in knowledge and its importance, facilitating their understanding. The benefits of learning philosophy of the university student also undertakes the effort of the teachers, have to see what students read.
Without the contribution of philosophy in the education of our future researchers what the human sense of science and university-As argued O. Marden: I prefer to appreciate what I can not have, we have the I can not appreciate.
As we continue to develop science and technology will need also to raise new critical insights that enrich our understanding of reality and the meaning of new discoveries, not resign ourselves to a simple and useless accumulation of knowledge. (Lima, April 25, 2011).
