Abstract 

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.
