Abstract

This paper reflects on the dynamics, problems, and opportunities of tertiary education in anthropology. The objective is to identify how this discipline understands the learning process, its new experimental teaching goals and the multiple challenges its teachers face. This will allow to conclude that anthropology has the potential to integrate the understanding of the social world within its teaching strategies.
