Improving the Teaching of Marxism: A View from the University Social Observatory

Abstract

This article defines methodological actions designed to leverage the axiological potential of Latin American Marxist thought in the teaching of Marxism. These actions were implemented based on a diagnosis conducted by the University Social Observatory at the University of Holguín regarding the state of the utilization of this thought. The diagnosis revealed the need and importance of improving the teaching of Marxism to promote the comprehensive development of university students. To design these actions, the axiological potential of Latin American Marxist thought and the challenges to the comprehensive development of Cuban university students in the current social context were identified.
