Abstract

Objective: to make a methodological design proposal for a subject, which prepares students to successfully face the "professional exercise" as a modality to complete studies. Methods: qualitative study; analysis and synthesis for the bibliography consulted; the documentary analysis for the regulations, norms and documents of the process and the analysis in system and interdisciplinary approach of the subjects. The population and the sample are the 14 students of the last year of the Career. Results: the proposal of the subject Agricultural Production System II. The student carries out his pre-professional practice, in a basic unit of agricultural production, detects professional problems, identifies their causes, selects one and continues his technical and practical scientific treatment, with a proposal to improve agricultural production. The designed system is a proposal for educational innovation to be assessed in the next processes of completion of studies. Conclusions: the 14 students passed the exercise with excellent and good grades. It is shown that the modality of "professional exercise" can be used if it is possible to insert the students in productive entities of agricultural production. The students were able to diagnose professional problems and propose sustainable agronomic measures for their solution.
