Abstract

VELEZ SANCHEZ, Germán Alonso  and  RUIZ ROJAS, Gustavo Alberto. The university in crisis, does it threaten or reaffirm its ontology?. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2019, vol.48, n.190, pp.1-22.  Epub Jan 10, 2020. ISSN 0185-2760.

The article addresses the issue of the idea of university. Through a qualitative design of hermeneutic approach, dominant ideas about the raison d'être or reason to be and mission of the University were interpreted. Historical tensions were revealed between the technical-instrumental logics of productive scheme and the critical tendency that advocates a university for humanity, focused on the commitment to society, culture and the planet. We analyze the main references that have laid the theoretical foundations for a conception of the alternative university that serves ancestral and cultural diversity.

Keywords : University; Education; Ontology; Research; Crisis.
