The importance of teaching methodology in higher education: a critical look

This text talks about teaching methodology in the field of higher education institutions and reflects on the loss of importance of this area, like other areas of humanities and social wins. This in a Mexican context where policy reforms are based on the requirements of the business and economic world, from logic of capitalist production. In other words, it raises questions about how education tends to decrease production, ignoring its social function: the intellectual development of a society. (C) 2015 The Authors.
