Background:

The transition from Study Plan D to E, in Higher Education produced changes in the organization of the educational teaching process and its different forms of education, although the meeting class prevailed which requires a high degree of independent study by the students.

Objective:

To implement pedagogical actions that develop skills for independent study in the subjects that make up the Main Integrative Discipline with emphasis on the class- meeting modality in Higher Education.

Methodology:

A pre experiment was carried out from October 2016 to July 2018 at the Municipal University Center of Placetas. The universe consisted of 21 students enrolled in the first school year 2016-2017, which in turn constituted the research sample. 13 teachers participated in the experience representing the total of those who were linked to these students. Theoretical, empirical and statistical-mathematical methods were used.

Results:

In the initial diagnosis, the predominance of the low level in the evaluation of the analyzed indicators was observed in the students and in the teachers the ignorance of what the appropriate contents may be for the students to work independently. The pedagogical actions implemented were effective, found in the final diagnosis.

Conclusions:

The development of independent study is achieved in the activity, based on the development teaching and also with a system approach. It is considered appropriate to deepen the study of the subject due to its priority in the meeting-courses modality in Higher Education.
